Save IEEE Computer Architecture Letters

摘要

IEEE Computer Architecture Letters (CAL) was established 17 years ago to provide the computer architecture community with a rapid dissemination venue for highly novel, highly impactful ideas. CAL is intentionally different from both the conferences and journals in our field. With only a 4-page budget, CAL papers focus more on ideas and less on evaluations. As such, most CAL papers can and should be later published as full-length conference papers with more detailed descriptions and in-depth evaluations. CAL provides a first decision on submitted papers within 30 days. This is considerably shorter than our current conference review cycles. In the R2 survey that was undertaken a few years ago, 45% of the community felt that the review process was too long. CAL papers appear online within 1 week of acceptance-ready to download and be read and cited by the community. Compare this to the typical 3-month lag between conference acceptance and the publication of the conference proceedings. In summary, CAL is a great venue for architects because it:1. Focuses on high-impact, high-novelty ideas in a short, easy-to-read format, 2. Provides a quick review turnaround allowing you to timestamp your idea in an archival format, 3. Rapidly posts accepted papers online so that your work can quickly be cited and built upon, and 4.Is one of the few available journals that focuses on computer architecture; some institutions continue to prize journals highly and this provides architects at those institutions with an excellent journal for dissemination.
