HiPEAC has been pioneering the journal-first publication model. Journal-first means that the manuscript selection process for the conference is outsourced to a journal (ACM TACO). Manuscripts can be submitted to the journal at any time throughout the year as regular journal submissions. For all manuscripts submitted before June 1, 2021, ACM TACO guarantees that the final decision (including two rounds of revision) will be communicated before November 15.

All authors of original work papers accepted in the journal between November 15, 2020 and November 15, 2021 will get an invitation to present their work during the paper track of the HiPEAC conference. There are no conference proceedings published.
