• Characterization of applications in domains
• Characterization of workloads for emerging workloads and architectures
• Characterization of OS, Virtual Machine, middleware and library behavior
• Implications of workloads in system design
• Benchmark methodologies and suites
• Measurement tools and techniques

Submission guidelines

• Poster abstract submission website: iiswc2024posters.hotcrp.com
• Page limit: 2 pages, including references, in PDF format. Single-spaced double-column pages using a 10-point size font on 8.5×11 inch using the submission template.
• Submission template: IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings
• Proceedings: Poster abstracts will NOT be included in the IISWC 2024 proceedings, so that the authors can resubmit their work to a future conference or journal.

This year we will accept poster abstracts in two tracks: regular work-in-progress (WiP) track and PhD forum track. Submissions to both tracks have the same page limit and submission template as mentioned above.

Regular WiP track (double blind)

For this track, we encourage ongoing or late breaking research, tools or benchmarks, and reviewing will be double blind. The content of the poster must be original work that has neither been published before in another conference or journal, nor is currently under review. However, you can submit work that has been presented earlier in a workshop without copyrighted proceedings. Therefore, please do not include any author names on any submitted documents except in the space provided on the submission form. If you refer to your own prior work, please do it in third person, as if you were referencing someone else’s work. Submissions that exceed the page limit or do not follow the formatting guidelines will be rejected without review.

PhD forum track (single blind)

For this track, we encourage PhD students to present their thesis research in progress and receive early feedback from senior researchers and experts in the domain. Reviewing on this track will be single blind. The submission should include clear descriptions of the project’s motivation, objectives, problem definition, addressed solutions, current status (can include your own published papers), and planned work. Author names (PhD student and their supervisor) should be included in the submitted document and the authors can refer to their own prior work, especially in the addressed solutions and current status sections. Submissions that exceed the page limit or do not follow the formatting guidelines will be rejected without review.
