Hot Topics in System Infrastructure @ ISCA 2026

The 3rd workshop on Hot Topics in System Infrastructure (HotI 2026)
co-located with ISCA
June 28, 2026,
Raleigh, NC, USA
https://hotinfra.org/2026/

The HotInfra workshop is soliciting three types of paper submissions: regular papers, industry papers, and retrospective study papers:

1. The regular papers are encouraged to have new and crazy ideas in building future system infrastructure. We will favor submissions that have great potential to inspire interesting discussions, so it is fine if the work has only an early version of the system prototype.
2. The industry papers are encouraged to demonstrate the recent trends and demands of real systems infrastructures from the industry and have insightful discussions on the challenges and experiences of developing real system infrastructures from industry perspectives.
3. The retrospective study papers may include studies that have been published in top-tier systems and architecture conferences in the past year, but showcase new experience, concepts, approaches, and/or experimental results.
