SCOPES 2014 - 17th International Workshop on Software and Compilers for Embedded Systems

17th International Workshop on
Software and Compilers for Embedded Systems
SCOPES 2014
June 10-11, 2014
Schloss Rheinfels, St. Goar, Germany

CALL FOR PAPERS
A next edition of the workshop on Software and Compilers for Embedded Systems
(SCOPES) will be organized in 2014. The workshop will feature a combination of
research papers and research presentations (details see below). The papers and
presentation abstracts will also be published in the ACM digital library. The
workshop is held in cooperation with ACM SIGBED and EDAA.
AIM AND SCOPE
The influence of embedded systems is constantly growing. Increasingly powerful
and versatile devices are developed and put on the market at a fast pace. Their
functionality and number of features is increasing, and so are the constraints
on the systems concerning size, performance, energy dissipation and timing
predictability. To meet all these constraints, multi-processor systems on a chip
(MPSoCs) are becoming popular in embedded systems. In order to meet the
performance and energy constraints of embedded applications, heterogeneous
architectures incorporating functional units optimized for specific functions
are commonly employed. This technological trend has dramatic consequences on the
parallelization, mapping, compiler and design technology used to develop these
systems.
The SCOPES workshop focuses on the software generation process for modern
embedded systems. Topics of interest include all aspects of the compilation and
mapping process of embedded single and multi-processor systems. This includes
(but is not limited to):
- models of computation and programming languages;
- performance analysis techniques for models of computation;
- automatic code parallelization techniques;
- mapping and scheduling techniques for for embedded multi-processor systems;
- code generation techniques for embedded single and multi-processor
architectures;
- design-space exploration techniques for use in the HW/SW codesign process;
- techniques to exploit the dynamic behavior in embedded applications;
- interactions between operating systems and compilers;
- techniques for compiler aided profiling, measurement, debugging and
validation of embedded software.
WORKSHOP STRUCTURE
The workshop structure (presentations followed by intensive discussions) allows
for an interactive atmosphere in which industrial and academic representatives
can exchange new ideas and trends in the area MPSoC mapping and code generation.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
SCOPES accepts two types of submissions (details can be found on scopesconf.org):
Research papers
Research papers should present original research results not published or
submitted for publication in other forums. Accepted papers will be published via
the ACM digital library and they will be scheduled for a presentation during the
workshop. Authors of accepted long research papers will be given the
opportunity to publish a 10 page paper in the workshop proceedings (available
through ACM digital library).
Research presentations
Research presentations should present research results relevant to the topics
addressed by the workshop. These presentations may be based on research results
that have previously been presented in other forums. Accepted presentations
will be scheduled for a presentation during the workshop. Authors of accepted
research presentations will be given the opportunity to publish a 4 page
abstract in the workshop proceedings (available through ACM digital library).
Publication in the proceedings is optional and the authors may decide not to
do so.
VENUE
The workshop will take place in the beautiful “Schloss Rheinfels” hotel at
St. Goar, Germany. Schloss Rheinfels is a castle at one of the nicest places
within the Rhine valley, itself a world heritage site. Among a set of hotels
focusing on wellness, the hotel is voted yearly as being part of the top 3
conference hotels in Germany. There is a beautiful view from the hotel onto
the river Rhine.
