EMSOFT 2012: International Conference on Embedded Software when: October 7-12, 2012 where: Tampere, Finland www: http://esweek.acm.org/emsoft/ CALL FOR PAPERS abstract submission deadline: April 4, 2012 paper submission deadline: April 11, 2012 notification date: July 03, 2012 The International Conference on Embedded Software (EMSOFT) brings together researchers and developers from academia, industry, and government to advance the science, engineering, and technology of embedded software development. EMSOFT 2012 is part of the Embedded Systems Week. Since 2001, EMSOFT has been the premier venue for cutting-edge research in the design and analysis of software that interacts with physical processes. This focus on all aspects of the development of embedded software makes EMSOFT a premier venue with a long-standing tradition for results on cyber-physical systems, which compose computation, networking, and physical dynamics. TOPICS OF INTEREST Testing and validation, Formal verification Software design and implementation Virtual prototyping and system-level design for embedded software Model- and component-based software design and analysis Programming languages Compiler optimizations Software engineering and programming methodologies Scheduling and execution time analysis Operating systems and middleware QoS management and performance analysis, energy consumption Hardware-dependent software and interfaces Distributed, networked embedded systems and security Embedded control and communication Software for multiprocessor/multicore embedded systems and systems-on-chip Application areas, e.g., automotive, avionics, energy, health care, mobile devices, multimedia, cyber-physical systems Replication, reproduction, and confirmation of empirical results Empirical studies related to embedded systems SUBMISSIONS Papers should represent original work, not published or submitted for publication in other forums. A blind review process will be enforced. Authors should not reveal authorship directly or indirectly through references. Papers must be in PDF format and should not exceed 10' pages in ACM two-column format (9pt on 8.5"x11" letter size paper). For formatting instructions and templates, visit the ACM web site.
