Message from the Program Chair

We received a total of 180 submissions for the conference, of which 27 were selected for the final program. The low acceptance rate (15%) reflects the growing number of submissions to ISCA, since the number of accepted papers was not significantly different than in the past. Each paper was reviewed by at least four reviewers, and at least two of those reviews were by program committee members. A total of 300 people helped review papers. All reviewing was double-blind. The review process was slightly different than in the past; authors were allowed to see and respond to reviews prior to the program committee meeting.
