Industry Track

This year, ISCA has an industry track for submissions that provide retrospective evaluations of real working products, or of planned products that were cancelled but present interesting insights or lessons learned. Note that the industry track is not meant for student intern projects, and any such papers will be rejected without consideration. Industry track papers are due in January 2020. See the industry track page for more details.
