SPECIAL SESSIONS

SS1: (FDR) - Flexible Digital Radio.

Special Session Organizer: D. Noguet, CEA-LETI (FR)

It addresses all aspects regarding both the architectural concepts and methodologies of multi-standard, multi-mode flexible radios. Tradeoffs considering flexibility vs. computational, power consumption parameters are cornerstones of architecture selection.

Call for papers: SS1 FDR CFP

SS2: (MSDA) - Multicore Systems: Design and Applications.

Special Session Organizers: J. Sahuquillo, U. Politecnica de Valencia (ES) and A. Molnos, Delft U. of Technology (NL)

This special session will provide a forum for engineers and scientist to address challenges, and present new ideas in the multicore field, as well as introduce emerging implementations, and tackle related issues with respect to improving system performance and reducing energy consumption for multicore systems, as a whole.

Call for Papers: SS2 MSDA CFP

SS3: (DTDS) - Dependability and Testing of Digital Systems.

Special Session Organizer: H. Kubátová, CTU in Prage (CZ)

It addresses emerging issues, hot problems, new solution methods and their hardware and software implementations in all fields of digital and mixed-signal system dependability and testing. It is especially focused on the dependability and testing related to the SoC technology and modern embedded applications.

Call For Papers: SS3 DTDS CFP

SS4: (FTDSD) - Fault Tolerance in Digital System Design.

Special Session Organizer: Z. Kotásek, Brno Univ. of Technology (CZ)

It addresses all aspects related to concepts, theory, implementations and applications of fault tolerance principles in digital systems design.

Call For Papers: SS4 FTDSD CFP

SS5: (SLEO) - System-Level Energy Optimization of HW/SW Embedded Systems.

Special Session Organizer: E. Villar, U. of Cantabria, (ES)

This special session aims at gathering within the same forum contributions regarding the optimization of the energy at different abstraction levels: from the design of code up to the library and task/resource management carried out at the system level.

Call For Papers: SS5 SLEO CFP

SS6: (WSN) - Wireless Sensor Networks.

Special Session Organizers: J.S. Matos and J. Barros, DEEC – FEUP, U. of Porto, (PT)

It will focus on aspects regarding architectures, design methods, EDA tools, communication protocols, advanced applications for sensor nodes, networks and systems, and the exploitation of trade-offs in sensor node design between computation and communication, both analog and digital.

Call for papers: SS6 WSN CFP
