3rd International Workshop on Optical SuperComputing in Bertinoro
(OSC10)

November 17-19, Bertinoro, Italy

http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~dolev/OSC10

SCOPE:

OSC, the International Workshop on Optical SuperComputing, is an
annual forum for research presentations on all facets of optical
computing for solving hard computation tasks. Optical computing
devices have the potential to be the very next computing
infrastructure. Optical computing presents an alternative to the
frequency limitations, cross-talk phenomena and soft-errors of
electronic devices. The natural parallelism of optical computing
devices, coupled with the advance in fiber optics and optical switches
make optical computing commercially viable. Research contributions to
the theory, design, specification, analysis, implementation, or
application of optical supercomputers are solicited.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Designs or demonstrations of optical computing devices and systems
• Algorithmics and complexity issues of optical computing
• Computation representation by photons and holograms
• Neural and brain inspired architectures
• Electro-optic devices for interacting with optical computing devices
• Practical implementations
• Analysis of existing devices and case studies
• Optical photonics and laser switching technologies
• Optical and photonic memories
• Optical signal processing subsystems
• Optical networks for high-performance computing
• Optical interconnections
• Quantum optical systems
• Applications and algorithms for optical devices
• Alpha particles, X-Rays and nano-technologies for optical computing

How to submit:

Authors are invited to submit their extended abstracts electronically.
A detailed description of the electronic submission procedure will
appear on the workshop web-page, as of June 1, 2009. Authors unable to
submit electronically should contact the program chair, Shlomi Dolev
by email, dolev(a)cs.bgu.ac.il or by phone, +972-8-6428119 to receive
instructions.

Workshop presentations will have two formats: Regular presentations of
at least 25 minutes accompanied by papers of up to 15 pages in the
proceedings. Additional material may be added in a clearly marked
Appendix to be read at the discretion of the Program Committee
Members. This form is intended for contributions reporting on original
research, submitted exclusively to this workshop. Brief announcements
of at least 10 minutes accompanied by two page abstracts in the
proceedings. This format is a forum for brief communications, which
may be published in other workshops. Longer versions expanding the
brief announcements will be collected in a web site. The workshop
proceedings will be published by LNCS Springer Verlag. We are also
seeking a special issue with a journal.


SUBMISSIONS FORMAT:

The cover page should include (1) title, (2) authors and affiliation,
(3) postal and e-mail address of the contact
author, (4)indication of the format(s) to which the paper is
submitted, and (5) a brief
abstract describing the work.

It is recommended that each submission begin
with a succinct statement of the problem, summary of the main results,
and a
brief explanation of their significance, all suitable for a
non-specialist. Technical development of the work, directed to the
specialist, should follow. A submission
for the regular presentation format should be no longer than 4,500
words
(10 pages on letter-size paper using at least 11-point font, figures
and tables
included) excluding references. If the authors believe that more
details are
essential to substantiate the main claims of the paper, they may
include a
clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the
program
committee. Extended abstracts deviating significantly from these
guidelines
risk rejection without consideration of their merits. A submission for
the brief
announcement format should be no longer than three pages. Authors of
accepted brief announcements will be asked to submit a full version of
their
work to be placed on a WWW site.
If requested by the authors in the cover letter, an extended abstract
that is not
selected for a long presentation will also be considered for the brief
announcement
format. Such a request will not affect consideration of the paper for
a
long presentation.


Best regards.
