2nd Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Computer Architecture (WAICA)

Wednesday, January 20, 2021 10:00 - 13:00

Co-located with the 16th HiPEAC Conference on High Performance and Embedded Architectures and Compilation

(Online event, 18-20 January 2021)

Description of the Workshop

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming industries, services, jobs and even whole societies. Thanks to powerful algorithms, today's information systems are able to solve complex problems in areas as varied as structural engineering, medicine, genetics, environment and transportation, while machine learning is even improving how computers themselves are developed. Meanwhile, new hardware developments, such as heterogeneous architectures which deliver energy savings without compromising performance gains, offer AI exciting opportunities for development. Linking both software and hardware, from embedded systems to high-performance computing (HPC) platforms, can inspire creative solutions which can improve both individuals' quality of life and society as a whole.

This workshop will delve into this fascinating and influential field from both the technology and application sides. It will feature presentations on how novel computer architectures are powering artificial intelligence applications, or conversely how artificial intelligence is helping develop innovative computer architectures. We are interested in your ideas about exploring what kind of applications AI is being used for in daily life, with a particular focus on applications related to HPC, parallelism efforts and platforms suitable for AI in HPC.

Special Issue

The accepted conference papers will be invited for an extended journal version, to be published in a special issue in the MDPI Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications (JLPEA, CiteScore: 2.2).

Important Dates

To be defined.

Paper Submission

Please submit your paper using the Easychair submission link. WAICA will not publish workshop proceedings. Papers should be 4 to 8 pages long, and submitted in PDF, following the double-column IEEE format. Authors are free to publish in other venues subsequently.
