About AOMC

AOMC is a premier international workshop dedicated to multi-modal computing. Following successful past two editions at ISCA (themed Exploring Applications and Building Tools), AOMC‘26 proudly co-locates with APPT’26 in Brussels, Belgium. This year’s theme is Embrace Innovations. We invite experts from academia and industry to explore the future of intelligent systems. We highly welcome thought-provoking submissions on emerging technologies, including Multimodal Large Models, Embodied AI, and transformative architectures like Processing-in-Memory and Photonic Computing. 

Call for Papers

The workshop will focus on the acceleration and optimization of multi-modal DNN applications. The primary objective of this workshop is to catalyze advancements in computer architecture specifically tailored for multi-modal DNN applications. We are inviting proposals from researchers and developers actively engaged in the field. Proposals should emphasize novel approaches and technologies in accelerating multi-modal DNN applications through innovative computer architecture solutions. We encourage submissions that offer insights into research progress, practical challenges, and future directions. Examples of this workshop include, but are not limited to:

• Impact of multi-modal DNN applications on computer architecture research 
• APIs and programming models for multi-modal DNN applications 
• IoT, mobile and embedded system design for multi-modal DNN applications 
• Emerging memory technologies and their impacts on multi-modal applications 
• Specialized multi-modal DNN accelerators and reconfigurable systems 
• Hardware-software co-design for multi-modal DNN applications 
• Design space exploration for multi-modal DNN applications 
• Implementation and optimization of multi-modal computing systems
