DSD'2005
8th EUROMICRO CONFERENCE ON
DIGITAL SYSTEM DESIGN
Architectures, Methods and Tools
Porto, Portugal, August August 30th - September 3rd, 2005
URL: http://dsd2005.univ-rennes1.fr <http://dsd2005.univ-rennes1.fr/>
Call for Papers

 The Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design (DSD) addresses all
aspects of (embedded)
digital and mixed hardware/software system engineering.

It is a discussion forum for researchers and engineers working on
state-of-the-art investigations,
development, and applications.

It focuses on advanced system, design, and design automation concepts,
paradigms, methods and tools,
as well as, modern implementation technologies that enable effective and
efficient development of
high-quality (embedded) systems for important and demanding applications
in fields such as (wireless)
communication and networking; measurement and instrumentation;
health-care and medicine; military,
space, avionic and automotive systems; security; multi-media and ambient
intelligence.

The main areas of interest are the following:

1.      Systems-on-a-chip/in-a-package: generic system platforms and
platform-based
design; network on chip; multi-processors; system on re-configurable
chip; system FPGAs
and structured ASICs; rapid prototyping; asynchronous systems; power,
energy, timing,
predictability and other quality issues; intellectual property, virtual
components and design reuse.

2.      Programmable/re-configurable architectures: processor,
communication, memory
and software architectures with focus on application specific and/or
embedded computing,
co-processors; processing arrays; programmable fabrics; embedded
software; arithmetic,
logic and special-operator units.

3.      System, hardware and embedded software specification, modeling
and validation: design languages
; functional, structural and parametric specification and modeling;
simulation, emulation, prototyping,
and testing at the system, register-transfer, logic and physical levels;
co-simulation and co-verification.

4.      System, hardware and embedded software synthesis: system,
hardware/software and embedded
software synthesis; behavioral, register-transfer, logic and physical
circuit synthesis; multi-objective optimization
 observing power, performance, communication, interconnections, layout,
technology, reliability, robustness,
security, testability and other issues; (dynamic) management of
computational resources, power, energy
etc.; design environments for embedded systems and re-configurable
computing.

5.      Emerging technologies, system paradigms and design
methodologies: optical, bio, nano and quantum
technologies and computing; self-organizing and self-adapting (wireless)
systems; wireless sensor networks;
ambient intelligence and augmented reality; ubiquitous, wearable and
implanted systems; deep sub-micron
design issues.

6.      Applications of (embedded) digital systems with emphasis on
demanding and new applications
      in fields such as: (wireless) communication and networking;
measurement and instrumentation;
      health-care and medicine; military, space, avionic and automotive
systems; security; multi-media,
      instrumentation and ambient intelligence; health-care and
medicine; military, space, avionic and
      automotive systems; security; multi-media and ambient intelligence.


SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Regular Papers: Submissions can be made that describe innovative work in
the scope of the Conference, and especially,
in any of the above main areas of interest (please indicate the topic
area). Prospective authors are encouraged to submit their
 manuscripts for review electronically to the Program Chair via email (
[log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ) before the
deadline for submission. Each manuscript should include the complete
paper text, all illustrations, and references. The manuscript should
conform to the required format single-spaced, double column, A4/US
letter page size, 10-point size
Times Roman font, up to 8 pages. In order to conduct a blind review, no
indication of the authors' names should appear
 in the submitted manuscript. A separate sheet should be added
containing the paper title, topic area, the authors' names
and affiliations, and the contact author's name, address and email address.

Case Study and Application Papers: Submissions can be made which report
on state-of-the-art digital systems,
design methods and/or tools, and (embedded) applications. Papers
discussing lessons learned from practical
experience, demanding or new applications, and experimental research are
particularly encouraged. Manuscripts
may be submitted in the same way as regular papers.

Special (Invited) Sessions: Proposals for panel sessions, hot topic
sessions, embedded tutorials and other invited
sessions are especially welcome. The session organizer(s) should discuss
with the Program Chair a single page
abstract outlining the session or tutorial topic, together with a list
of possible contributors, by the deadline for submission.

The Program Committee will decide if papers will be accepted for a long
presentation (30 minutes), short presentation
 (15 minutes), or as a poster. For long and short presentations, 8 pages
will be assigned in the published proceedings.
A poster presentation will be assigned 4 pages. Papers exceeding the
page limit will be charged 50 Euro per page in
excess. If the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must
pre-register and pay the conference fee before the
deadline for submitting the camera-ready paper. Otherwise the paper will
not be published in the proceedings.

The Proceedings of DSD'2005 will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.

Important Dates:

.          Submission of papers: March 1st, 2005
.          Notification of acceptance: May 3rd, 2005
.          Deadline for final version: June 9th, 2005

.          Submission of  Special Sessions: January 15, 2005
.          Acceptance of  Special Sessions: January 31, 2005
