*Motivation***

The surge of multicore processors coming into the market and on users=92
desktops has made parallel computing the focus of attention once again! At
this focal point of urgency and immaturity, this e-book is being put forwar=
d
as a platform for immediate collection of state-of-the-art technologies in
both hardware and software designs for multicore computing. It will be of
immense help to system and software engineers, including both experts and
non-experts in parallel computing because this e-book will be a singular
source of reference to the state-of-the-art techniques in multicore
processor design and software programming that covers multiple application
domains. **

* *

*Introduction*

The pervasion of multicore processors in the computing systems has created
an urgent need for the accumulation of research results and best practices
related to the design and verification of multicore hardware and software.
With this goal in mind, this e-book is intended to be a reference work or a
textbook for both the undergraduate and graduate students and the engineers
working in the industry. Chapter contributions that are self-contained are
invited on any related topics, which include, but are not limited, to the
following.



n   Multicore Processor Architecture Design

n   Multicore System Software Design

n   Performance Estimation Methods and Tools for Multicore Systems

n   Power Estimation and Power Saving for Multicore Systems

n   Modeling and Verification Methods for Multicore Systems

n   Electronic System Level Design Techniques for Multicore Systems



*Important Dates*

Chapter submission deadline: March 31, 2010

First notification date: April 30, 2010

Revised version submission deadline: May 15, 2010

Final notification: May 31, 2010**

**

I.           The title should be precise and brief and must not be more tha=
n
120 characters. The title should be all caps with font size of 14 pt bold.
Authors should avoid the use of non-standard abbreviations. The title must
be written in little case except for chapters, conjunctions and
preconditions. Authors should also provide a short =91running title=92.

II.        The abstract should not exceed 250 words and it should condense
the essential features of the chapter, with the focus on the major advances
in the field. 10 pt letter should be used for the text in the abstract.

III.     HEADINGS: The typeset version of the chapter differentiates betwee=
n
different levels of heading by use of spacing, centering/ranging left,
varying type size, italicization, emboldening, etc. While preparing a
chapter the authors should ensure that various levels of heading are clearl=
y
distinguishable. This can be achieved by either using typographical
differences such as bold, italic, bold+italic etc., or by numbering the
headings. As a general guide, headings should be numbered only when this is
necessary for cross-referencing but use only one of the two approaches
throughout the eBook. The headings should follow a logical hierarchy. Five
is considered the maximum number of levels of heading.

IV.     TEXT: The chapter should be written in English in a clear, direct
and active style. All pages must be numbered sequentially, facilitating in
the reviewing and editing of the chapter. The style of the chapter must be
uniform throughout the text and 12 pt Times New Roman fonts should be used.
The full term for an abbreviation should precede its first appearance in th=
e
text unless it is a standard unit of measurement. The reference numbers
should be given in square brackets in the text. Italics should be used for
Binomial names of organisms (Genus and Species), for emphasis and for
unfamiliar words or phrases. Non-assimilated words from Latin or other
languages should also be italicized e.g. per se, et al. etc.

V.        GREEK SYMBOLS AND SPECIAL CHARACTERS: Greek symbols and special
characters often undergo formatting changes and get corrupted or lost durin=
g
preparation of chapter for publication. To ensure that all special
characters used are embedded in the text, these special characters should b=
e
inserted as a symbol but should not be a result of any format styling
(Symbol font face) otherwise they will be lost during conversion to PDF/XML=
.

VI.     Chemical equations, chemical names, mathematical usage, unit of
measurements, chemical and physical quantity & units must conform to SI and
Chemical Abstracts or IUPAC.

VII.  LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS: If abbreviations are used in the text either
they should be defined in the text where first used, or a list of
abbreviations can be provided.



*If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact
us. We appreciate your consideration of this invitation and hope to hear
from you soon!*
