CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on Quantum Computing for
Sustainable Computing
In conjunction with the
THE 9TH INTERNATIONAL GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE
COMPUTING CONFERENCE
October 22, 2018, Pittsburgh, PA, US
Authors are invited to submit papers
for a workshop on “Quantum Computing for
Sustainable Computing” in conjunction with the 9TH
INTERNATIONAL GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE COMPUTING CONFERENCE, Oct 22, 2018. Workshop
papers will provide a comprehensive review on fundamentals as well as
the current state of the art in research and technology.
Quantum computing has been hailed
as a disruptive technology due mainly to algorithmic complexity arguments.
These arguments predict that computational speedups for future quantum
computing systems are possible, yet there is little known about the relative
efficiency and sustainability of those systems and programs. This is due
partially to the early and emerging insights of how quantum computing systems
should operate as well as the quickly growing set of proposed application area.
Although time-to-solution will play an important role in justifying the future
development of quantum computers, prominent concerns for traditional computing
stakeholders include practical considerations such as energy and power
consumption, size and maintenance, complexity and sensitivity, and other
factors.
The purpose of this workshop is to
explore how quantum computing may impact the sustainability of future computing
platforms. This includes the potential impact on the time, energy, and
complexity of operating future computers that comes broadly form quantum
computing hardware, software, and algorithms. We further welcome talks focused
on the transformative research that will be necessary to guide quantum
computing performance toward practical and sustainable operations.
Topics of interest for this
workshop include but are not limited to the following:
·
Energy and power consumption estimates for quantum computing
systems and applications
·
Hardware and software codesign that prioritizes sustainable and
efficient platform operation
·
Algorithmic and computational benchmarks for quantifying quantum
computing performance
·
Modeling and simulation of quantum computer performance including
hybrid computations
·
Resource efficient methods for the control and execution of
quantum programs
· Progress
in quantum architectures, circuits, devices, design automation and programming
languages
Submission Procedure:
Authors
are invited to submit a 2-page extended abstract or an original, unpublished manuscripts of maximum 6-page length
at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qcsc2018.
Previously published papers or papers under review for other conferences/journals
should not be submitted for consideration. Please use IEEE conference-style template:
https://www.igscc.org/paper-submission. All accepted papers will be published
in the workshop proceedings, which will be published in IEEE Xplore as part of
the IGSC proceedings. A selected set of papers from the workshop will be invited
for submission to a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal based on reviewer’s
feedback and quality of conference presentation.
