The IEEE/ACM International Conference on Codesign of Embedded Systems (CODES) is the premier conference in system-level design, hardware/software co-design, modeling, analysis, and implementation of modern Embedded Systems, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Internet-of-Things, from system-level specification and optimization to synthesis of system-on-chip hardware/software implementations. CODES is part of Embedded Systems Week (ESWEEK), the premier event covering all aspects of hardware and software design for smart, intelligent, and connected computing systems.
Late-Breaking (LB) Result papers provide a venue for quick dissemination of research ideas to the embedded systems community and are expected to represent complete and mature works written in a condensed form. Details are available on the author information page.
