Advanced computing and defense technology is a strategic frontier technology in the field of network information technology, which is of great significance to promote economic and social development and national defense security. At the International Summit on Computer Architecture (ISCA) in 2018, Turing Prize winners John Hennessy and David Patterson predicted that information architecture would enter a new golden age of development, in which dedicated architectures and hardware-software co-design, neural network accelerators, architecture-level security, RISC-V and agile development would become the important development directions. Inspired by the phenomenon of "mimicry" in the biological world, Academician Wu Jiangxing of Chinese Academy of Engineering has put forward "structure adaptive application"-mimic computing technology and "structure decides security"- Mimic Defense Technology in recent years, and has made breakthroughs in theory, technology and application in the aspects of computing architecture and security.

The Academic Conference on Advanced Computing and Defense Technology is funded by the innovation research group project of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), "Basic Theoretical Research of Cyberspace Imitative Defense" and the National Key R&D Project "Research on Technical Mechanism of Cyberspace Imitative Defense". It discusses advanced computing technologies such as Mimic Computing and the latest development trend of advanced defense technology such as Mimic Defense. The conference is aimed to show the latest academic research results, which has invited several top experts and scholars to make special reports, provide academic exchange platform for researchers and departments engaged in relevant research in the industry, and accelerate the development of related fields.
