## 📝 Call for Papers Description

**Scope & Objectives**

Conference on Next Generation Arithmetic (CoNGA) is the leading conference on emerging technologies for computer arithmetic. The demands of both AI and HPC have led the community to realize that something better than traditional floating-point arithmetic is needed to reach the speed, accuracy, and energy-efficiency that are needed for today's most challenging workloads. Posit arithmetic is achieving rapid adoption as a non-proprietary format based on the most stringent design principles. CoNGA welcomes papers about any arithmetic format that breaks from the past and shows merit and promise. Papers should present original research and provide sufficient background material to be accessible to the broader community.

**Conference Tracks**

CoNGA'26 invites original contributions on topics related to next generation arithmetic, specifically universal number (unum) and posit arithmetic, including:

* Posit & Valid Arithmetic
* Artificial Intelligence Data Formats
* Energy Efficient Arithmetic
* Right Sizing Precision

**Presentation/Tutorial Topics**

We also invite proposals for short reports and presentations/tutorials on the following topics:

* Posits libraries and other number coding libraries
* Hardware projects
* Exploring new applications
* New and interesting use cases
* Standardization efforts
* Why a mixed precision effort is a dead end
