CASES 2012 - Compilers Architectures and Synthesis for Embedded Systems

when: October 7-12, 2012
where: Tampere, Finland
www: http://esweek.acm.org/cases/

CALL FOR PAPERS

abstract submission deadline: April 4, 2012
paper submission deadline: April 11, 2012
notification date: July 03, 2012

CASES seeks original research papers that focus on increasing the
efficiency and capabilities of embedded systems via creative
approaches that combine compiler, architecture, and synthesis
technologies. CASES uniquely aims to promote synergies across
otherwise vertically integrated communities in embedded systems.
Papers are solicited on but not limited to the following topics:

    models of computation and compilers for heterogeneous systems including GPUs and FPGAs
    heterogeneous system-on-chip
    on-chip communication architectures
    extensible, customizable ASIPs
    run-time and design time reconfigurable processors
    novel nano-based architectures
    3D architectures, integration and synthesis
    domain specific embedded applications
    memory management
    smart caches and compiler controlled memories
    static and dynamic timing analysis
    specification and design of embedded systems
    compilation and/or synthesis for reliability, power, performance
    modeling & management for reliability, power, performance
    validation, verification, & debugging of embedded software
    analysis techniques for embedded system including design space exploration, co-simulation

- Submissions

Submissions must be in ACM proceedings format, 9-point type, and may
not exceed 10 pages (all inclusive). Word and LaTeX templates for this
format are available here. Submissions must be in PDF, printable on US
Letter sized paper. To enable double-blind reviewing, submissions must
adhere to two rules:

   author names and their affiliations must be omitted; and,
   references to related work by the authors should be in the third
person (e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We
build on the work of ...").

Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the
submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult
(e.g., important background references should not be omitted or
anonymized). Papers must describe unpublished work that is not
currently submitted for publication elsewhere as discussed here.
Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign an ACM copyright
release.

- Evaluation

The program committee will evaluate the technical contribution of each
submission as well as its general accessibility to the CASES audience.
Papers will be judged on significance, originality, and clarity. The
paper must be organized so that it is easily understood by an audience
with varied expertise. The paper should clearly identify what has been
accomplished, why it is significant, and how it relates to previous
work. As in the past, the program committee may elect to accept some
papers for poster and/or short paper sessions.
