Call for Papers
One page call for papers flier in pdf.
Dramatic embedded systems volumes and associated market segments force a reevaluation of the best way to satisfy the possibly conflicting demands placed on processor designs. Domain-specific embedded processors, such as network, automotive, cellular and others, present interesting architectural refinements, albeit at the cost of splintering the embedded processor market. Reprogrammable and/or reconfigurable embedded processors provide an alternative approach, capable of delivering single, fixed-silicon architectures, thus amortizing design and manufacturing costs across large volumes, yet necessitating an answer to the challenge of effective customization of embedded processors. The symposium explores (micro)architectural design approaches and trade-offs and compiler technologies, for both domain-specific and customizable embedded processors. The symposium aims at generating a forum wherein challenges and solutions will be explored, discussed and compared. Major topics include, but are not limited to:
- Domain-specific processors (Network, multimedia, etc.)
- Application-specific hardware accelerators
- Microarchitectural customization techniques
- (Re)configurable architectures (coarse-grained, FPGA, etc.)
- Application-specific processors in System-on-a-chip (SOC)
- Application-specific customizations for low-power
- Compiler technology targeting customizable processors
- Architectural exploration and hardware software codesign
- Application specific MPSoC
- Design Automation for NoCs
- OS and Middleware support for application specific processors
The Program Committee invites authors to submit papers up to 6 pages in length (8 pages also possible, additional fee required), describing original, unpublished work. Papers submitted to SASP must not be under review elsewhere.
Clearly describe the nature of the work, explain its significance, highlight novel features, and describe its current status. Paper submission will be considered evidence that, upon acceptance, the author(s) will present their paper at the symposium.
Proceedings will appear in the IEEE Digital Library; a special issue in a major IEEE journal is also planned for best papers.
Electronic submission through the symposium website is required.
