35th GI/ITG INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
ARCHITECTURE OF COMPUTING SYSTEMS
Heilbronn, Germany
September 13-15, 2022
THIS YEAR’S FOCUS: Quantum Computing: The Dawning of a new Age?
The ARCS conferences series has over 30 years of tradition reporting leading edge research in computer architecture and operating systems. The focus of the 2022 conference will be on quantum computing and its impact on the whole system stack spanning from hardware layer to the software layer. This includes hardware architectures, programming models, runtime environments, cross sectional topics, and real world use cases. In addition to the main conference, ARCS will host workshops and special tracks comprising topics like Organic Computing, operating systems and middleware for emerging system, or fault tolerance . More information on the workshops can be found on the ARCS web page.
The proceedings of ARCS 2022 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series. A best paper and best presentation award will be presented at the conference. This year the conference will be again a physical meeting with a social program. To ensure a safest possible meeting for all participants, we will monitor the Corona situation closely and will take all necessary protection steps following government guidelines as well as extra measures as needed.

Special Track `Organic Computing'
Organic Computing postulates to equip technical systems with `lifelike’ properties. Technically, this means to move traditional design-time decisions to runtime and into the responsibility of systems themselves. As a result, systems have a dramatically increased decision freedom that leads to highly autonomous behaviour. The goal of this process is to allow for self-adaptation and self-improvement of system behaviour at runtime. Especially since conditions that occur at runtime can only be anticipated to a certain degree, efficient mechanisms are needed that guide the system’s behaviour even in cases of missing knowledge or uncertain environmental states. Consequently, the research field of Organic Computing investigates fundamental principles, discusses essential aspects and researches novel methods that are needed to finally build self-adaptive and self-organising systems that are capable of reliable operation in complex real world environments.
Within the scope of the ARCS main conference, the special track on `Organic Computing’ focusses on developments and open challenges in the field of self-adaptive and self-organising systems embedded in real-world environments. Contributions will be part of the ARCS'22 conference proceedings.

ARCS 2022 uses a double-blind reviewing system. Manuscripts must not identify authors or their affiliation. When citing own work, it must be done in a neutral form (i.e. avoiding ‘our’, ‘we’, ‘previous work’ etc.). Papers must be submitted in PDF format, formatted according to Springer LNCS style and must not exceed 15 pages, including references, appendices and figures.
