RATIONALE

Recently, demand for high performance embedded computing has experienced an impressive growth. At the same time, embedded software has become more and more complex, posing new challenging issues never faced before in this application field. It is thus clear that nowadays the development of embedded systems must rely, even more than in the recent past, on specific solutions both in the hardware and in the software components. Moreover, the need to timely tackle changes in the market pushes toward the employment of methodologies for shortening the development time and for driving the evolution of existing products. The solutions to new problems emerging in this setting call for a joint effort by 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, 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, software engineering, simulation). 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.

SUBMISSIONS

Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process by at least three referees. The accepted papers will be published in the ACM SAC 2005 proceedings.

Please note that accepted papers must fit within five (5) two column pages, with the option (at additional expenses) to add three (3) more pages.

Submission guidelines must be strictly followed:

- Each paper must be prepare in an electronic format, either PDF (preferred) or postscript. Please note: neither hardcopy nor fax submissions will be accepted. Submissions should be printable on a standard printer on common paperformats like letter and DIN A4. Please use a Postscript previewer such as Ghostview to check the portability of Postscript documents. The acceptable compression format is Zip.

- The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate blind review.

- The body of the paper should not exceed 4,000 words.

- A separate cover sheet (this should be sent separately from the main paper) should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which correspondence should be sent.

- The actual submission procedure will be communicated in the track website as soon as possible.

- All submissions must be received by September 3rd, 2004.
