Message From The Program Chair

We received a total of 25 submissions for INTERACT-8. Each member of the Program Committee was asked to evaluate and rank the papers based on his areas of expertise and interests. The paper reviews were done during December 2003. With the semester ending and the holidays coming, it was rather hectic for all committee members. I would like to express my appreciation and thank all the Program Committee members and external referees for their efforts and timely reviews. The Annual Workshop on Interaction between Compilers and Computer Architectures (INTERACT) has been organized to promote new ideas and to present recent research and developments in compiler and architecture/micro-architecture techniques that enhance each other??s capabilities and performance. We are very pleased to include 12 papers in the final workshop program. We hope the program will generate excitement and research interest among the workshop participants, and this proceedings will further research and developments in the interaction between compilers and computer architectures. The INTERACT Workshop has entered its eighth year. I would like to thank all the contributors and participants, whose interest and support are the basis for the existence of this workshop. Special thanks are due to Antonio Gonzales and Eric Rotenberg, who have served on the Program Committee for the last five years. As the Program Chair I am truly impressed by their dedication. I would also like to thank the general chair, Gyungho Lee, for continuously securing the necessary funding to print the workshop proceedings.
