The Eleventh Asia-Pacific Computer Systems Architecture Conference (ACSAC 2006) is an international conference, sponsored by University of Amsterdam , Shanghai Jiao Tong University and University of Aizu . The conference is organized by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and will be held in JIAN GONG JIN JIANG hotel, Shanghai , during September 6-8th, 2006.

This annual conference serves as a forum for the discussion and exchange of information on the research, development, and applications on all topics related to computer system architecture. A variety of opportunities are available to present research-oriented papers, or to showcase and market your products and services.

We invite you to attend ACSAC 2006 and appreciate your discussion with keynote speakers and presenters.

Each participant should pay 400 US$ (3200 Yuan RMB for Chinese people). This fee covers refreshments during session breaks, working lunches and SINGLE admission to the conference banquet and reception.
