It is a great honor for us to introduce the program for the second edition of the Computing Frontiers conference celebrated in Ischia (Italy) on May 4-6, 2005.The conference was created to allow the exploration of those technologies at the very edge of computing which would have the potential to substantially improve existing art. To this end, we have considered papers on theory, methods, technologies, and implementations concerned with innovations in computing paradigms, computational models, architectural paradigms, computer architectures, development environments, compilers, and operating environments.We are very pleased with the collection of papers selected by this year's Program Committee, which includes 43 technical papers covering a wide range of exciting topics, from high performance embedded architectures, to quantum computing, and many other cutting-edge technologies.Computing Frontiers received 106 full paper submissions. The papers were distributed among the track chairs, who selected the best papers with their program committee. In total, we received 381 reviews, an average of 3.5 reviews per paper. Finally, we took into consideration the decisions made by the track chairs to elaborate the final conference program. In spite of the large number of high quality submissions, only 43 papers were accepted for publication this year, a 40% acceptance rate. We want to express our appreciation to the large number of authors who submitted their work to this second edition of Computing Frontiers, and invite them to submit again next year. Their contributions are the primary factor at making this conference a successIn addition to the excellent technical program, we hope you will also enjoy the first workshop on reversible computing by Mike Frank, as special session organized by our chair Giacomo Sechi, celebrated in parallel with the regular conference sessions, which includes technical papers, invited talks, and a panel discussion on a really hot topic that deserves special attention in this edition of Computing Frontiers.
