Welcome to the website of the 25th edition of the ARITH symposium. The conference will take place from Monday, June 25th, to Wednesday, June 27th, 2018, in Amherst, Massachusetts, USA.
Since 1969, the ARITH symposia have served as the primary and reference conference for presenting scientific work on the latest research in computer arithmetic. The topics of the conference include theoretical aspects, number systems, algorithms for operations and math functions, implementations, validation, and applications of computer arithmetic. Since 1981, the ARITH symposia have been a biennial event. They are now an annual event starting from 2015. See the archives page for more information on previous symposia.
Authors are invited to submit papers describing recent advances on all aspects of computer arithmetic and its applications or implementations. This includes, but is not restricted to, the following topics:
- Foundations of number systems and arithmetic
- Arithmetic processor design and implementation
- Arithmetic algorithms and their analysis
- Floating-point units, algorithms, and numerical analysis
- Elementary and special function implementations
- Power-efficient or low-energy arithmetic units and processors
- Industrial implementation of arithmetic units and processors
- Test, validation, and formal verification techniques for arithmetic implementations
- Fault/error-tolerance in arithmetic implementations
- Arithmetic for FPGAs and reconfigurable logic
- Design automation for computer arithmetic implementations
- Computer arithmetic for security and cryptography
- Arithmetic to enhance accuracy or reliability (multiple-precision, interval arithmetic, ...)
- Arithmetic challenges in HPC and exascale computing (accuracy, reproducibility, ...)
- Arithmetic for specific application domains (big-data analytics, signal processing, computer graphics, multimedia, computer vision, finance, ...)
- Computer arithmetic in emerging technologies
- Non-conventional computer arithmetic and applications
NEW: Industry track - Call for paper on special sessions
For ARITH 25 we are also inviting researchers in the industry to submit a short paper (4 pages) on one of the following main topics:
- Efficient, accurate, and reproducible floating-point summation
- Overall/ubiquitous encryption - from memory storage to arithmetic units
- Efficient SIMD arithmetic operations, algorithms and designs
- Trading off accuracy for PPA in floating-point operation (performance, power, area): algorithms, hardware design and applications.
Procedure for submission
A PDF version of the papers should be submitted no later than February 7, 2018. Papers under review elsewhere are not acceptable for submission to ARITH 25. A double-blind peer review policy will be enforced. Please, remove authors' names, acknowledgments or any obvious references to the authors before submission. By submitting a paper, you implicitly confirm you are solely submitting it to ARITH 25. Authors will be notified of acceptance in the beginning of April, 2018, and final camera-ready papers will be due on April 20, 2018.
