CODES-ISSS MERGED CONFERENCE
----------------------------
The CODES-ISSS Conference is the merger of two major international symposia
on hardware/software codesign and system synthesis, combining the strengths
of these closely related communities in an open forum promoting active
discussion on innovative topics. The program actively seeks industry
participation. High-quality original papers will be accepted for oral
presentation followed by interactive poster sessions. Proceedings are
published by ACM SIGDA, and select papers will be targeted for a special
issue of ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS).


AREAS OF INTEREST
-----------------
The CODES-ISSS Conference invites papers on all aspects of the design and
architecture of semi-custom heterogeneous embedded computing systems --
systems such as medical devices, cell phones, network processors, handheld
computers, and other systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:


1) HIGH-LEVEL, ARCHITECTURAL AND SYSTEM-LEVEL SYNTHESIS: Specification and
      modeling, design representation, synthesis, partitioning, estimation,
      design space exploration, codesign for reliable systems.
2) HARDWARE/SOFTWARE CODESIGN: Codesign methodologies, test and debug
      strategies, interaction between architecture and software design, design
      space exploration beyond traditional hw/sw boundary, theory and algorithms.
3) SPECIFICATION LANGUAGES: System level models and semantics, timing, power,
      formal properties, heterogeneous systems and components.
4) EMBEDDED SYSTEMS SOFTWARE: Compilers, memory management, virtual machines,
      scheduling, concurrent software for SoCs, distributed/resource aware OS,
      OS and middleware support for application specific processors.
5) EMBEDDED SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE: Heterogeneous multiprocessors,
      reconfigurable platforms, memory management support, communication,
      protocols, network-on-chip.
6) APPLICATION-SPECIFIC PROCESSOR ARCHITECTURES AND SYNTHESIS: Network
      processors, media processors, app-specific HW accelerators, reconfigurable
      processors, low power embedded processors, bio/fluidic processors.
7) SYNTHESIS, MODELING AND ANALYSIS: Low power, power-aware, testable,
      reliable, verifiable systems, performance modeling, validation and
      cosimulation, security issues.
8) INDUSTRIAL PRACTICES AND BENCHMARK SUITES: System design, processor design,
      software, tools, case studies, trends, emerging technologies, experience
      maintaining benchmark suites, representation, interchange format, tools,
      copyrights, maintenance, reference implementations, and metrics.
9) CODESIGN AND SYSTEM SYNTHESIS IN EDUCATION: Courses, textbooks, teaching
      tools and methods.
10) NEW TOPICS: New challenges for next generation semi-custom heterogeneous
      computing systems, arising from new technologies (e.g., nanotechnology)
      or new applications (e.g., ubiquitous computing). Studies of how technology
      and applications interact to motivate new solutions and design approaches,
      e.g., on-chip heterogeneous multiprocessing and user-friendly HCI leading
      to new programmer.s views in system-level design and resulting in new
      benchmarks, models, architectures, design tools and methodologies.


PAPER SUBMISSION
----------------
Papers should represent original work not published or submitted for
publication in other forums. Submitted papers should be close to the final
version since there is less than one month between notification of acceptance
and the deadline for the final version. Formal proceedings will be published
by ACM SIGDA in hardcopy, web page, and a CD-ROM. Papers should be submitted
electronically over the web. By March 15, the CODES-ISSS website will open
its paper submission page that will guide the authors through the submission
process. The paper must be in PDF, 6 pages or less, and follow the ACM
two-column proceedings format at a minimum of 9 pt on 8.5"x11", letter-sized
page (no A4 please). For the purpose of anonymous review, DO NOT REVEAL
AUTHORSHIP DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THROUGH REFERENCES. LaTeX users: make sure
your PDF uses vectored fonts, not bitmapped fonts.


By submitting a paper, the authors agree to prepare the final camera ready
version and to present the paper in person at the symposium, if the paper is
accepted.


Proposals for group discussions and special sessions are also invited. These
would generally be single page proposals succinctly outlining the topic,
problem(s) addressed, positioning and likely participants. Attention must be
paid to audience participation in such discussions. While all technical topics
within the areas of interest are welcome, we are especially interested in
emerging technical areas such as opto/bio/electronic and medical embedded
systems, their applications and case studies. Other possibilities include
"devil's advocate" and "what's hot, what's not" sessions.


IMPORTANT DATES
---------------
      * Deadline for submission: Monday, April 7, 2003
      * Notification of acceptance: Friday, June 6, 2003
      * Deadline for final version: Friday, July 4, 2003


Papers submitted after the deadline, exceeding the page limit, or revealing
the authorship, will automatically be rejected.
