IIES 2012 - Workshop on Isolation and Integration in Embedded Systems

Embedded systems developers are confronted with a large variety of challenges. Among these are novel requirements like the integration of applications or oper- ating systems on a single platform, the isolation of hardware and software components to restrict error propagation, improve fault-tolerance, and to provide protection against intruders, and the adaptation of technologies like virtualiza- tion and emulation.
IIES intends to cover these current topics in embedded systems isolation and integration from hardware- to application-level. Of special interest are the chal- lenges posed by future hardware and software technologies.
This IIES workshop aims to bring together researchers and developers from all areas of embedded systems to discuss the impact of these new challenges and present their current research. We intend to inspire a lively discussion of the novel approaches in integration and isolation of embedded systems and the associated challenges and prospects.
Suggested topics for papers and discussion include, but are not restricted to:
- Support for temporal and spatial isolation of system and application code
- System- and language-based isolation and integration techniques
- Isolation mechanisms for dependability
- Isolation mechanisms and resource constraints - memory, energy, performance
- Interaction and resource sharing between isolated components
- Lightweight address space models for isolation
- Platform integration of embedded systems
- Virtualization in embedded systems
- Integration of legacy embedded systems in new designs
- Experience reports and details on performance, energy and cost evaluations
