____________________________________________________________________________

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.ac.usc.es/arith19/

no later than Oct. 15, 2008 at midnight, Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8:00)

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 Javier Bruguera (arith19@xxxxxx).

Acceptance will  be notified in January 2009,  and final camera-ready
papers  will be  due in  March  2009. Conference  proceedings will  be
available at the Symposium.

A NOTE ON PAPER FORMATTING

Your submission is limited to twenty (20) 8.5"x11" double-spaced
single-column pages, using 12pt or larger font. Please make sure you
leave enough margin (roughly one inch) on both sides of the text so
that it prints correctly on an A4 size paper as well.

Authors of papers exceeding 20 pages 8.5"x11" double-spaced
single-column pages, using 12pt or larger font, who think that their
submission will fit the final conference page limit, must check their
manuscript size using the formatting guidelines found at the IEEE CS CPS
Website using the instructions for 8.5" x 11", Two-Column Format and ensure
that it does not exceed 10 pages in the 8.5" x 11", Two-Column Format.
The final submissions cannot exceed 10 pages (corresponding to 8+2
extra charged pages) in the 8.5" x 11", Two-Column Format.

The paper must be submitted in PDF format. We cannot accept any other
format, and we must be able to print the document just as we receive it.
We strongly suggest that you use only the four widely-used printer fonts:
Times, Helvetica, Courier and Symbol.
