CASES: CALL FOR PAPERS

CASES is a premier forum, where researchers, developers, and practitioners exchange information on the latest advances in design, optimization, validation, and applications of embedded systems, Internet of Things (IoT), and the emergent trend of integrating Artificial Intelligence into IoT (AIoT). The conference has a long tradition of showcasing cutting-edge research in these broad areas, covering topics including, but not limited to, hardware-software co-design and co-validation, edge AI, embedded architecture, memory/storage technology, security/reliability, energy-efficiency of embedded systems, and domain-specific hardware accelerators. We solicit submission of original research articles on these topics divided into five technical tracks. Each submission needs to specify one primary and one secondary track relevant to the paper’s technical content.

CASES 2024 solicits the submission of original research articles for full-length research papers that will be published in the IEEE Transactions Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (TCAD). CASES solicits submissions on the following topics divided into five technical tracks. Each submission needs to specify one primary and one secondary track based on the relevance of the paper’s technical content to the tracks. Page length and formatting details are available on the author information page.
