The 3rd Workshop on
Computer Architecture Modeling and Simulation
(CAMS 2025)

To be held in conjunction with MICRO 2025

Workshop Date: October 18 or 19, 2025
Full Paper Due: August 11, 2025 (Anywhere on Earth)
Location: Seoul, Korea
Venue: TBD
Room: TBD

The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and discuss the latest advances in the field of computer architecture modeling and simulation. The focus on modeling and simulation techniques is of vital importance to the ongoing advancements in microarchitecture, as these methods are essential tools for improving system performance, efficiency, and reliability.

The workshop will cover various aspects of computer architecture modeling and simulation, including but not limited to:

  • Simulator Development: Advances in design, theory, implementation, and integration of simulators.
  • Performance Modeling: Strategies for prediction, validation, and the impact of architectural features.
  • Power Modeling and Simulation: Methods for power-efficient design and power-performance trade-offs.
  • Tools and Studies Survey: Review and compare existing simulation tools and applications.
  • Scalable Simulation Techniques: Approaches for improving simulation scalability and efficiency.
  • Modeling and Simulation for Unconventional Architectures: Exploration of unique challenges and approaches for emerging and unconventional architectures.
  • Hardware-in-the-loop Simulation: Performance modeling and simulator validation with hardware.
  • Modeling for Machine Learning (Sim4AI): Architectural considerations and models for hardware accelerators.
  • Validation Techniques: Approaches for validating the accuracy of simulation models.
  • Human-centered simulation methods: Analysis, visualization, monitoring methods.

Call for Papers

The workshop invites submissions of original work in the form of full papers (up to 6 pages, reference not included) covering all aspects of computer architecture modeling and simulation. Submissions will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings.

Paper Due: August 11, 2025 (Anywhere on Earth)
Author Notification: September 8, 2025
Submission Guidelines

Full paper submissions must be in PDF format for US letter-size or A4 paper. They must not exceed 6 pages (excluding unlimited references) in standard ACM two-column conference format (review mode, with page numbers, 9pt font minimum). More concise papers with ideas clearly expressed are also welcomed. Authors may choose whether to reveal their identity in the submission.

We use the ACM Primary article template. Templates for ACM format are available for Microsoft Word and LaTeX at this link. https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. For Latex users, please use the sigplan example in the template folder. For Overleaf users, the template is also available at https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates?q=acm+sigconf .

We do not include the papers in the ACM or IEEE digital libraries. Therefore, papers submitted to this event may be submitted to other venues without restrictions.

At least one author of accepted papers is expected to present in person during the event. We understand the travel difficulty in the post-pandemic era. In exceptional cases, we will allow remote or pre-recorded presentations.

Call for Tool Release Talks

Starting from CAMS 2024, we organize a specialized session that allows tool creators to announce their new releases to amplify their exposure. The talks will announce new simulators, or new releases of existing simulators, highlighting their new features and improvements.

Last year, all the talks were invited. This year, we are soliciting talks from a broader community. Please submit a 1-page (including references) abstract that includes which simulator, which new version, and what new features you want to present. No peer review process will be applied to abstracts. The workshop chairs will make the selection, mainly based on the relevancy and potential interests of the audience.

We encourage in-person talks, but remote talks are also acceptable.

Abstract Due: September 15, 2025 (Anywhere on Earth)
Notification: September 22, 2025
Submission Guidelines

Abstract submissions should follow the same format as paper submissions (see above), except for the 1-page limit.
