Note About Blind Submissions: Blind-submissions to CA-Letters are allowed, but authors have to provide a list of all potential conflicts of interest in their cover letter. CA-Letters defines a conflict of interest as:

• Your Ph.D. advisor and Ph.D. students forever.
• Family relations by blood or marriage forever.
• People with whom you collaborated in the past five years.
• Collaborators, including co-authors on an accepted/rejected/pending research paper, co-PIs on an accepted/rejected/pending grant, those who fund your research, and researchers whom you fund. "Service" collaborations, such as writing a CSTB report or serving on a program committee, are not a conflict-of-interest by themselves.
• People who were employed or were a student at your primary institution(s) in the past five years.
• Others with whom you believe a conflict of interest exists

Note About Overlapping Submissions: Publication in CA-Letters should not generally preclude subsequent publication i n conferences or journals, as long as subsequent manuscripts contain sufficient new material. However, overlapping submission to CA-Letters and anothe r venue (where the Letters paper is essentially a subset of the longer manuscrip t) is generally not allowed. This would run against the spirit of what Letters is trying to accomplish. The focus of Letters is early publication and feedback on new work. If the work is already mature enough to submit a full-length pape r before receiving your decision from CA-Letters, this generally defeats the rol e of Letters. This is of course only a general policy. Our goal is to be flexi ble and open to papers that will advance the field. If you have questions about specific circumstances, please feel free to contact the editors-in-chief. Howe ver, if a concurrent submission is detected without having previously discussed the matter with the EICs, the subission will be rejected and future submission w ill be disallowed for six months.

IEEE Computer Architecture Letters (CA-Letters) and the IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA) are pleased to announce a special session as part of HPCA 2012's core program on the "Best Papers from Computer Architecture Letters" from 2011. All papers that were posted online or appeared in print in 2011 will be eligible. The CA-Letters ed-board will nominate approximately 8 papers, and a committee of CA-Letters and HPCA representatives will make the final selection of 3-4 papers. Authors of the selected papers will give a short, 10-min presentation, a (non-archival) pamphlet with 1-page extended abstracts for each selected paper will be distributed at the session, and there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. Authors will be notified by Jan. 16, 2012.
