CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES


Time-to-market has become a crucial objective to embedded system
designers in the context of enabling technologies such as compilation,
novel architectures, synthesis, reconfigurable hardware and others.
In these contexts, much of the successful research so far has been
performed in increasingly specialized research areas localized into
``communities'' working in vertically integrated fields. This working
conference, the fourth in the CASES series, will provide a common
forum for researchers from the computer engineering and science
disciplines with an interest in embedded systems to reach across such
vertically integrated communities and to promote potential synergies.


As evident from the past CASES meetings, several of the emerging
application areas are critically dependent on these interactions for
their sustained growth and evolution. Application areas that embody
application-specific embedded computing include set-top boxes,
hand-held games, mobile and web appliances, advanced automotive
systems, high-performance networking and others. For these areas to
thrive, new technologies must address constraints on cost, code size,
weight, power consumption and real-time response as well as
performance. Concerns of time-to-market are a dominant but not
exclusive theme of the conference.


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.
          * New optimizing compilers for embedded-domain constraints.
          * Automated design and synthesis of application- or domain-
              specific processors.
          * Application- or domain-specific embedded system designs
          * Light-weight languages for temporal specification.
          * Synergy between extant parallel computing technologies, such as
              notations for expressing concurrency, and instruction level
              parallel processing.
          * Reconfigurable or adaptive computing systems.
          * Compiler controlled memory hierarchy management and smart caches.
          * System-on-a-Chip architectures/compilers and embedded software
              including heterogeneous multiprocessor embedded systems.
          * Research infrastructure development for embedded systems.
          * Emerging domains including micro-UAVs and textiles.
