********************************************************************************




The rapid rate of architectural change has placed enormous stress on
compiler writers to keep pace with microprocessor evolution. This
problem is compounded by the current trend to have multi-cores and
multi-threading which makes such systems increasingly difficult to
target. Also, current methods of designing computer systems will no
longer be feasible in 10-15 years time; what is needed are new
innovative approaches to architecture design that scale both with
advances in underlying technology and with future application domains.


In recent years, several papers have been published showing great
potential in constructing compilers and architectures using approaches
such as machine learning and search.


The purpose of this workshop is to promote new ideas and to present
recent developments in compiler and architecture design using machine
learning, statistical approaches, and search in order to enhance their
performance, scalability, and adaptability.


Topics of Interest (but not limited to):


Machine Learning, Statistical Approaches, or Search applied to


* Feedback-Directed Compilation
* Iterative Compilation
* Dynamic Compilation/Adaptive Execution
* Parallel Compiler Optimizations
* Low-power Optimizations
* Simulation
* Performance Models
* Processor and System Architecture
* Design Space Exploration
* Other Topics relevant to Intelligent and Adaptive
Compilers/Architectures


**** Paper Submission Guidelines ****


We invite two kinds papers:


* Research papers with new results (15 page limit)
* Short position/experience papers (5 page limit)


NOTE: Important ammendment to publication procedure:


In order to increase the importance of this workshop, we will host all
accepted papers on the workshop website.


Papers must be submitted in the PDF (preferably) or postscript
formats. Email your submissions to jcavazos@inf.ed.ac.uk. We suggest
to use LNCS LaTeX templates that can be found at
http://www.springeronline.com/lncs (go to "For Authors" and then
"Information for LNCS Editors/Authors")


Proceedings: An informal collection of the papers to be presented will
be distributed at the workshop. Questions regarding the workshop
proceedings should be forwarded to jcavazos@inf.ed.ac.uk .
