The submission process for ISCA 2002 has been updated to streamline the program committee submission review assignment process. Instead of an automatic one week extension between the soft and hard deadlines, submissions to ISCA 2002 will include two parts: an abstract and a paper submission. The abstract will be electronically submitted and include a 100-300 description of the paper and an indication of the key topics of the paper. The ABSTACT DEADLINE for submissions is NOVEMBER 9, 2001 at 6PM PST (US). The PAPER DEADLINE for submissions is one week later, NOVEMBER 16, 2001 at 6PM PST (US). No further extensions will be granted. Submit an electronic copy of your paper (in PDF formatted for letter-size paper), not to exceed 6000 words. In order to minimize problems reviewing your paper, please ensure your PDF file can be previewed by Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 3.0 or higher). Excessively long papers will be reviewed at the discretion of the Program Chair and/or the reviewers. Finally, it is requested that papers not disclose the author’s identity, as they will be reviewed blind. As always, submissions will be judged on their scientific merit and anticipated interest to conference attendees. It is understood that papers in new areas are likely to contain less quantitative evaluations and comparisons than those in more established areas. Papers will be evaluated according to their novelty, fundamental insights and potential for long-term contribution.

As in previous years, a series of tutorials and workshops will be held immediately preceding the symposium (Saturday and Sunday, May 25th-26th, 2002). Tutorial and workshop proposals will be accepted until December 20, 2001. If you wish to organize a workshop or tutorial (1/2 or 1 day), e-mail a proposal to the Workshop/Tutorials Chair (Sanjay Patel, sjp@crhc.uiuc.edu). For tutorials, the proposal must include title, brief description of topics to be covered, and bio of the speakers. If you wish to organize a workshop (1 or 2 days), the proposal must include title, brief description of topics to be covered, and bio of the organizers
