CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES


          The purpose of this working conference, the third in the series,
is to provide a forum for discussing emerging technology themes in
embedded computing system design.


          Over the past decade, substantial research has gone into the
design of general-purpose microprocessors embodying parallelism at
the instruction-level, as well as aggressive compiler optimization
and analysis techniques for harnessing this parallelism. Growing
demand for high performance in embedded systems is creating new
opportunities to leverage technologies such as instruction-level
parallelism (ILP) or Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC).
Examples of application areas with the need for high performance and
application specific embedded computing include set-top boxes,
hand-held games, mobile and web appliances, and advanced automotive
systems.


          However, several novel challenges have to be overcome in order
to harness the opportunities offered by emerging technologies in the
context of embedded systems. Constraints on cost, code size, weight,
power consumption and real-time requirements place stringent
requirements on processors and the software they execute. In addition,
design time is an important issue because of the growing demand for
rapid time-to-market.


        Technical as well as position papers espousing significant novel
ideas and technical results are solicited. Conference topics include
(but are not limited to) the following:


          * Novel architectures and micro-architectures for embedded
              systems based on ILP.
          * Automated design and synthesis of application or domain
              specific processors.
          * Application or domain specific designs.
          * Light-weight languages for temporal specification.
          * Optimizing compilers for ILP exploitation in the presence of
              novel constraints.
          * Synergy between extant parallel computing technologies, such as
              notations for expressing concurrency, and instruction level
              parallel processing.
          * Harnessing the interaction between the hardware and software
              layers, spurred by innovations in reconfigurable or adaptive
              computing systems.
          * Characterizing the need of research infrastructure development
              for embedded systems based on adaptive technologies.
          * Compiler Controlled Memory Hierarchy Management and Smart Caches.
          * System-on-a-Chip architectures/compilers and embedded software
              including heterogeneous multiprocessor embedded systems.
          * Compiler optimizations and synthesis for improved exploitation of
              power versus performance tradeoffs.




In addition to presentations, the conference will feature


      * Two keynote lectures by experts:


                Amir Pnueli, The Weizmann Institute and New York University


                B. Ramakrishna (Bob) Rau, Hewlett-Packard Labs


      * A panel on the following topic:


                System on a Chip: Hardware Dream or Software Nightmare?
