[apologies for cross-postings] 27th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing Trento, Italy, March 25-29 2012 http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2012 CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE "EMBS" TRACK: *------------------------------------------* EMBEDDED SYSTEMS Across Hardware and Software http://www.ing.unipi.it/sac12 *------------------------------------------* Embedded computing has recently reached particularly high performance = levels, becoming more and more present in appliances used in everyday = life. A wide variety of applications, from consumer electronics to = biomedical systems, requires building up powerful yet cheap embedded = devices. In this context, embedded software has turned out to be more = and more complex, posing new challenging issues: the adoption of further = flexible programming paradigms/architectures is becoming almost = mandatory. Nonetheless, even nowadays the development of embedded = systems must rely on a tight coupling of hardware and software = components. Moreover, the market pressure calls for the employment of = new methodologies for shortening the development time and for driving = the evolution of existing products. New efficient solutions to problems = emerging in this setting can be put into action by means of a joint = effort of academia and industry. Design of embedded systems must take into account a wide variety of = constraints: performance, code size, power consumption, presence of = real-time tasks, maintainability, security and possibly scalability: the = more convenient trade-off has to be found, often operating on a large = number of different parameters. In this scenario, solutions can be = proposed at different levels of abstraction, making use of an assortment = of tools and methodologies: researchers and practitioners have a chance = to propose new ideas and to compare experimentations. The focus of this conference track is on the application of both novel = and well-known techniques to the embedded systems development. = Particular attention is paid to solutions that require expertise in = different fields (e.g. computer architecture, OS, compilers, security, = software engineering, simulation). The track will benefit also from = direct experiences in the employment of embedded devices in = "unconventional" application areas, so to show up new challenges in the = system design/development process. In this setting, researchers and = practitioners from academia and industry will get a chance to keep in = touch with problems, open issues and future directions in the field of = development of dedicated applications for embedded systems. *------------------------------------------* This year, the EMBS track will be part of a coordinated effort within = ACM SAC to group up topics involving "computing systems as a whole", = i.e. taking into account the different components at the hardware and = software levels that build up actual devices. The involved tracks are = the following: Operating Systems (OS) Embedded Systems (EMBS) In ACM SAC, sessions for these tracks will be scheduled to let attendees = follow all presentations on such closely related topics. *------------------------------------------* Topics of Interest *------------------------------------------* * Methodologies and tools for design-space exploration=20 * System-level design and simulation techniques for Embedded Systems=20 * Power-aware design and computing=20 * Testing, debugging, profiling and performance analysis of Embedded = Systems=20 * Networked sensor devices and systems=20 * Multicore and SoC-based embedded systems and applications=20 * Middleware and virtual machines in Embedded Systems=20 * Multithreading in Embedded Systems design and development * Java embedded computing=20 * Software architectures and SOA for Embedded Systems=20 * Embedded Systems exploitation within Information Systems=20 * Multimedia management in Embedded Systems=20 * Security and dependability support within Embedded Systems=20 * OS & RTOS for Embedded Systems=20 * Safety-critical Embedded Systems * Hardware/software support for real-time applications=20 * Compilation strategies, code transformation and parallelization for = Embedded Systems=20 * Special-purpose appliances and applications=20 * Case studies=20 *------------------------------------------* Important dates *------------------------------------------* * August 31st, 2011: Paper Submission * October 12th, 2011: Author Notification * November 2nd, 2011: Camera-Ready Copies *------------------------------------------* Submissions *------------------------------------------* Only papers based on original, unpublished work and addressing the = listed topics of interest will be considered. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review = process. Please note that submission of the same paper to multiple tracks is not = allowed. The accepted papers will be published in the ACM SAC 2012 proceedings. Further details and conditions are available on the online CFP at the = track home pageathttp://www.ing.unipi.it/sac12and at the conference home = page at http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2012/. Questions can be directed to the Track Chairs (please check on the track = home page). *------------------------------------------* Track Chairs & Program Committee *------------------------------------------* Chairs: Alessio Bechini - Univ. of Pisa - Italy Cosimo Antonio Prete - Univ. of Pisa - Italy Program Committee: Peter Altenbernd - University of Applied Sciences, Darmstadt - Germany Erik Altman - IBM T.J.
