COOL Chips is an International Symposium initiated in 1998 to present advancement of low-power and high-speed chips. The symposium covers leading-edge technologies in all areas of microprocessors and their applications. The COOL Chips XVIII is to be held in Yokohama on April 13-15, 2015, and is targeted at the architecture, design and implementation of chips with special emphasis on the areas listed below. All papers will be published online via IEEE Xplore. Authors of best papers will be recommended to submit an extended version to a COOL Chips special issue of IEEE Micro.
Contributions are solicited in the following areas:
- Low Power-High Performance Processors for Multimedia, Digital Consumer Electronics, Mobile, Graphics, Encryption, Robotics, Automotive, Networking, Medical, Healthcare, and Biometrics.
- Novel Architectures and Schemes for Single Core, Multi/Many-Core, Embedded Systems, Reconfigurable Computing, Grid, Ubiquitous, Dependable Computing, GALS and 3D Integration.
- Cool Software including Parallel Schedulers, Embedded Real-time Operating System, Binary Translations, Compiler Issues and Low Power Techniques.
Proposals should consist of a title, an extended abstract (up to 3 pages) describing the product or topic to be presented and the name, job title, address, phone number, FAX number, and e-mail address of the presenter. Please prepare the extended abstract using the given guidelines and template below.
Author’s kit:

Extended abstract submissions should be ONE page, formatted using standard two-column IEEE format. They are refereed primarily based on their relevance to the conference. Accepted abstracts will be published in the Proceedings of the COOL Chips XVIII. All participants in this track will have an opportunity to present a poster and a short talk. Submission of a paper to the track signifies an agreement to have one author present the work at the conference. “Best Poster Award” is presented. The award will be given for Best Poster voted by participants. However, the poster presenter should attend during the poster session and closing session, or will lose the chance.
