IEEE International Symposium on Workload Characterization (IISWC 2012)
November 4th-6th 2012 – San Diego, CA
http://iiswc.org

We would like to invite to attend and participate in the 2012 IEEE
International Symposium on Workload Characterization (IISWC 2012).
IISWC is the premier international conference dedicated to the
understanding and characterization of workloads that run on all types
of computing systems. Whether they are PDAs/smartphones at the low
end or supercomputers at the high end, the design of future computing
machines can be significantly improved if we understand the
characteristics of the workloads that are expected to run on
them. IISWC 2012 will focus on characterizing and understanding these
modern computer applications.
