CASES 2003 Call For Papers (San Jose CA, Oct/Nov 03)

                                                              CASES 2003
                                                              ----------
      Int. Conf. on Compilers, Architecture and Synthesis for Embedded Systems
                                                    FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
                                          http://www.casesconference.org
                                    Doubletree Hotel, San Jose, California
                                              October 30 - November 1, 2003
                                        Submission deadline: June 20, 2003




Demand for high performance embedded computing and increases in complexity
of embedded software require leveraging diverse architecture,
microarchitecture and compiler research. Application-specific solutions
are needed in embedded areas, such as digital audio/video, imaging, game
consoles, graphics, mobile and web appliances, and automotive systems.
There are new challenges for embedded systems, such as time-to-market,
cost, code size, weight, power, and real-time behavior.


The CASES conference provides a forum for emerging technology in embedded
computing systems, with an emphasis on compilers and architectures for
embedded systems. CASES is a common forum for researchers with an interest
in embedded systems to reach across vertically integrated communities and
to promote synergies. As evident from the past CASES meetings, several
emerging applications are critically dependent on these interactions for
their sustained growth and evolution.


This year, the sixth in the CASES series, the conference will focus on the
complexity of system-level design and its associated challenges and
requirements for compilers and architectures.
