DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: Sunday, April 7, 2008 DEADLINE FOR FULL PAPER SUBMISSION: Sunday, April 14, 2008 All authors must register their paper title, abstract and affiliation by April 7, 2008, in order to be allowed to                   submit a full paper by April 14, 2008. Submissions for all three conferences will be done online on the ESWEEK web site (www.esweek.org). ==========================================================

The Embedded Systems Week (ESWEEK) 2008 is the premier scientific event in design and implementation of embedded systems hardware, software and tools. ESWEEK brings together three major conferences in the embedded systems area, namely, CASES, CODES+ISSS, and EMSOFT, as well as other guest conferences, associated workshops, and tutorials. ESWEEK is sponsored by the ACM and IEEE.

One registration, three conferences: registered attendees to either CASES, CODES+ISSS, or EMSOFT will be allowed to attend sessions in the other conference as well for free. (Guest conferences and associated workshops may require separate registration.)

The three conferences (CASES, CODES+ISSS, EMSOFT) have independent technical committees and technical programs, as well as separate paper submissions and review processes. Authors are encouraged to choose where they want to submit their papers based on the topic of the paper and suitability to each conference. PLEASE SEE BELOW for topic information for each conference.

Proposals for special sessions and panels are also invited. These should be sent to the program chairs of each conference, and should succinctly outline the topic, positioning and likely participants.

============================

The CASES conference provides a forum for emerging technology in embedded computing systems, with an emphasis on compilers and architectures for embedded systems. CASES is a common forum for researchers with an interest in embedded systems to reach across vertically integrated communities and to promote synergies. As evident from the past CASES meetings, several emerging applications are critically dependent on these interactions for their sustained growth and evolution.

IMPORTANT DATES: Please see the top of this call.

C A S E S Areas of Interest

Previously unpublished papers containing significant novel ideas and technical results are solicited. Conference topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas.

1) Nanoscale challenges and embedded computing 2) VLSI and circuit techniques for embedded system design 3) Design, specification, and synthesis of embedded systems 4) Customizable processors and digital signal processors 5) Reconfigurable embedded computing systems 6) Novel architectures and micro-architectures for embedded systems 7) Instruction-level parallelism for embedded, including VLIW, EPIC    and superscalar  8) Multicore for embedded: hardware and software issues 9) Memory management, smart caches and compiler controlled memories 10) Low-power architectures and compilation, power vs. performance tradeoff\ s 11) Compilation techniques that focus on embedded architectures 12) Dynamic compilation and managed runtime environments for embedded syste\ ms 13) Embedded system integration and testing 14) Validation, verification, and debugging techniques for embedded softwar\ e 15) Profiling, measurement, and analysis techniques of embedded application\ s 16) Application-specific and domain-specific embedded systems

Paper Submission

Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format. Submissions should be no more than 5000 words and 18 double-spaced, single-column pages, with 1 inch margins and 11 pt font or larger. Include a 200 word single spaced abstract in the first page of the paper. Please make sure your paper prints satisfactorily on the 8.5"x11" format, this is especially important for countries where A4 paper is standard. Reviewing will be double blind and authors should make reasonable efforts to conceal their identity. Submissions not adhering to these guidelines may be summarily rejected at the discretion of the chair. As it has done in the past, the Program Committee may elect to accept some papers for poster and/or short paper sessions.

=================================

CODES+ISSS is the annual International Conference on Hardware-Software Codesign and System Synthesis. The conference proudly continues the tradition of being a high-quality forum for active discussion on current and innovative topics. The program will bring together the latest in academic and industrial research and development. High-quality original papers will be accepted for oral presentation followed by interactive poster sessions. Selected papers from the conference proceedings will be targeted for journal publication.

IMPORTANT DATES: See top of this call.

C O D E S + I S S S Areas of Interest --

The Conference invites papers on all aspects of the design and architecture of embedded computing systems, from application specific to heterogeneous systems, from custom to FPGA implementations, from handheld to high-performance systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1) High-level, architectural and system-level synthesis 2) Hardware-software co-design 3) Specification languages and models 4) Simulation and verification 5) Power-aware design methodology 6) Embedded systems architecture 7) Embedded software 8) Application-specific design and algorithms 9) Industrial practices, design case studies and emerging techniques 10) Multiprocessors and MPSoC

11) Networks-on-chip

Paper Submission

Papers should represent original work, not published or submitted for publication in other forums. Formal proceedings will be published in hardcopy, CD-ROM and web page forms (copyright by ACM and IEEE). A blind review process will be enforced, thus AUTHORS SHOULD NOT REVEAL AUTHORSHIP DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THROUGH REFERENCES. Papers must be in PDF format and should not exceed 6 pages in ACM two-column format (9pt on 8.5"x11" letter size paper). For formatting instructions and templates, visit www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. Proposals for special sessions and panels are also invited. These should be single page, succinctly outlining the topic, positioning, and likely participants.

=====================

EMSOFT is the annual International Conference on Embedded Software. The purpose of the conference is to bring together researchers and developers from academia, industry, and government to advance the science, engineering, and technology in embedded software development. EMSOFT was started in 2001. The previous conferences were held in Lake Tahoe, USA (2001), Grenoble, France (2002), Philadelphia, USA (2003), Pisa, Italy (2004), Jersey City, USA (2005), Seoul, South Korea (2006), and Salzburg, Austria (2007).

IMPORTANT DATES: See top of this call.
