____________________________________________________________________________

Authors are invited to submit papers describing recent advances on all
aspects of  computer arithmetic, including, but not  restricted to the
following topics:

* Foundations of number systems and arithmetic;
* Arithmetic processor design and implementation;
* Arithmetic algorithms and their analysis;
* Highly parallel arithmetic units and systems;
* New floating-point units and systems;
* Standards for number representation and arithmetic;
* Impact of high-level languages on arithmetic systems;
* Special function implementation;
* Low power arithmetic; and
* Applications of Computer Arithmetic to cryptography, DSP, data
  compression, computer graphics, etc.

PDF version  of the complete  paper should be submitted  in electronic
form, following the instructions posted at the conference web site:

   http://www.lirmm.fr/arith18/

no later than Oct. 15, 2006 at midnight, CET (extended deadline).

The  paper must  be  anonymous, with  no  author names,  affiliations,
acknowledgments, or obvious references.  It should begin with a title,
a short abstract, and a  list of keywords, and its introduction should
summarize the contributions of the  paper at a level appropriate for a
non-specialist reader.


Finally, a statement confirming that  the paper has not been submitted
elsewhere    must   be    sent    by   email    to   Peter    Kornerup
(kornerup@imada.sdu.dk).

Acceptance will  be notified in February 2007,  and final camera-ready
papers  will be  due in  March  2007. Conference  proceedings will  be
available at the Symposium.

A NOTE ON PAPER FORMATTING

Submissions should  conform to the maximum length  requirement for the
proceedings  of the  conference,  eight pages,  two  columns, but  for
reviewing  should preferably  be  formatted in  normal article  style:
about 20 pages, 12pt, single  column, double spacing. This is just for
a rough estimation of length. Authors of papers exceeding 20 pages, 12
pt,  single column, double  spacing, who  think that  their submission
will  fit the  final conference  page limit,  are kindly  requested to
check their manuscript size using the formatting style found at

http://computer.org/author/transguide/transstylefiles.htm

The  final submissions cannot  exceed 10  pages (corresponding  to 8+2
extra charged pages). For Authors' convenience, and by courtesy of the
IEEE Computer Society, the formatting  styles can also be found at the
web site.
