Call for Papers: ACM Sigmetrics 2026: Operational Systems Track
https://www.sigmetrics.org/sigmetrics2026/
Submitted by Stefan Schmid (TU Berlin)
ACM Sigmetrics would like to point the community to a new track which may be of interest to some of you.
Operational Systems Track at ACM Sigmetrics 2026: This is a new track that seeks papers describing deployed systems that are in significant use in a real-world setting.
Papers in this track should focus on principled measurement, modeling, and metrics pertaining to the system. Papers in this track need not necessarily present new ideas as judged by the “academic novelty” standard that we traditionally use for research paper submissions.
Good papers could present how known ideas work in practice, how design principles scale (or do not scale) to large production-scale systems, prove (or, disprove) existing assumptions with real-world data, bring out new performance modeling problems from real-world systems to the attention of the research community, etc.
The paper must describe “lessons learned” in the context of prior approaches known in the literature. Accepted papers in this track will be published as a regular paper along with papers in the research track.

Call for Papers: CAMS25 – The 3rd Workshop on Computer Architecture Modeling and Simulation
https://sarchlab.org/cams25
Submitted by Enze Xu
The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and discuss the latest advances in the field of computer architecture modeling and simulation. The focus on modeling and simulation techniques is of vital importance to the ongoing advancements in microarchitecture, as these methods are essential tools for improving system performance, efficiency, and reliability.

1st Workshop on Architecture for Health (Arch4Health 2025)
In conjunction MICRO 2025
18th October 2025, Seoul, Korea
A half-day workshop exploring the key computational challenges in health-related applications and the vital role of computer architecture in overcoming them to advance healthcare
Summary:
Opportunities. Recent biotechnological advances enable high-throughput, low-cost, and accurate biological data generation (e.g., using genome sequencing, multimodal medical imaging, continuous wearable sensing). This wealth of data enables unique opportunities for advancing healthcare.
Challenges. Despite these opportunities, efficiently analyzing large-scale biological data poses significant challenges for conventional computing systems. These systems often cannot keep up with the high-throughput rate at which data is generated, and they face additional constraints related to energy efficiency, scalability, privacy, and security. High-throughput processing is especially critical in clinical settings, where faster analysis can improve patient outcomes. Therefore, there is a need to design systems to enable high-performance, energy-efficient, private, and secure analysis of biological data.
Architecture for Health. This workshop will focus on identifying key computational challenges in health-related applications and discussing how computer architects can contribute to advancing healthcare by addressing these challenges.
Fostering Diverse and Cross-Disciplinary Discussions. Since cross-disciplinary discussions are crucial for better identifying challenges in real-world health-related applications, we aim to foster open discussions and cooperation between researchers with diverse backgrounds (i.e., from both computer architecture and health sciences communities, industry, and academia).
Call for Presentations:
This workshop consists of talks on the general topic of computing system designs for healthcare applications and new trends and bottlenecks in data-intensive healthcare applications. There are a limited number of slots for talks. If you are interested in delivering a talk on related topics,
please submit your talk’s title and extended abstract via this form: https://forms.gle/ozKpsox1LT2vt9aP7

Call for Presentations: Job Candidate Showcase @ MICRO 2025
https://sites.google.com/bu.edu/micro-showcase2025
Submitted by Sabrina Neuman
We are inviting submissions to the MICRO 2025 Job Candidate Showcase, a conference session for PhD students to present their dissertation research and gain visibility within the computer architecture community as they prepare for the job market. The presentation format will be a lightning talk and poster session. The showcase welcomes presentations on any topic in computer architecture (e.g., see MICRO call for papers).
Eligibility:
Students should have published in the community’s rigorously peer-reviewed conferences or journals. Students should be within 1-2 years, before or after, of dissertation completion. Students closer to graduation will be given priority as other students can attend a future forum with more mature results. Interested participants will submit (a) two-page research statement; (b) published or accepted first-author paper from ASPLOS, HPCA, ISCA, or MICRO; and (c) curriculum vitae.
Important Dates:
Submissions deadline: August 22, 2025
Author notification: September 5, 2025
