Workshop on
Computing with Unconventional Technologies (CUT):
from Processing to Interconnects, and Beyond…
Collocated with International Green and Sustainable Computing Conference, 2019
October 21-24, 2019, Alexandria, VA, U.S.A.
The growing performance needs of modern data-driven applications related to the internet-of-things (IoT), Big Data, and artificial intelligence, demand for increasingly higher levels of computational complexity, storage capacity, and communication performance in computing devices. Moreover, due to the rapidly growing deployment of computing devices across the globe, the total annual energy consumption for computing is projected to account for up to 20-25% of the annual primary energy consumption globally, by early in the next decade. Therefore, to meet the proliferating demands for computing without overshooting the global energy budget, scaling up the performance of the future computing devices with significant improvement in their energy-efficiency is of paramount importance. However, the computing industry will no longer be able to scale up computing capability and energy-efficiency using the basic approach of scaling down the transistor feature sizes, because of the imminent end of Moore’s law with the 2D lithography scaling approaching its fundamental physical limit. To address this issue, recent research efforts have focused on new “Beyond-Moore” technologies and architectures for computing. To unfold various aspects of the cutting-edge research in these unconventional paradigms of computing, a special workshop named ‘Computing with Unconventional Technologies (CUT): from Processing to Interconnects, and Beyond…’ will be organized as part of the IEEE International Green and Sustainable Computing conference 2019. The objective of this workshop is to provide a premier platform for the researchers and practitioners across the globe to come together, share ideas, and exchange valuable information. The workshop will consist of invited presentations and peer-reviewed research papers.

Author Information
Electronic submissions of full papers (regular as well as invited) in PDF format are sought. All submitted papers will be reviewed and evaluated on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, interest, and relevance to the scope of the workshop. Invited speakers at the workshop can also have their papers published in the official conference proceedings, if they submit their papers following the submission guidelines before the deadline mentioned below.
Please note that for consideration of inclusion in the final conference Proceedings on IEEE Xplore, each accepted paper (regular or invited), at any category, requires a conference registration at full (non-student or not-discounted) rate, plus an expected presentation of the paper at the CUT workshop.
