K workshop solicits short abstracts for a poster session, open to ac=
ademia and industry. Areas of particular interest for this assembly are res=
earch topics that identify and analyze novel ideas, rather than providing i=
ncremental advances, on the following themes:

* Benchmark and micro-benchmark creation, analysis, and evaluation issues
* Characterization of relevant workloads for embedded systems
* Modeling of application and system behavior
* Tools for analyzing power and energy with different granularities and sco=
pe from hardware (e.g. component, core, system) or software views (e.g. thr=
eads, tasks, processes, etc) or both (end-to-end systems)
* Definition, identification of metrics that determine the suitability of a=
n embedded system for its target applications, and their collection methodo=
logies
* Characterization of current state-of-the art embedded systems in terms of=
 power and performance

Confirmed invited speakers for the workshop include: Joseph Cross (DARPA), =
Jeff Bier (BDTi), Richard Lethin (Reservoir Labs), Jeffrey Smith (BAE Syste=
ms), Sek Chai (SRI International), Markus Levy (EEEMBC), Albert Reuther (MI=
T Lincoln Lab)

Abstract submission guidelines

Submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3Dseak2014

All submissions should be maximum 2 pages in double-column, single-spaced l=
etter format, using 10-point size fonts, with at least one-inch margins on =
each side, including references. The submission can also include a draft of=

<span style=3D"font-family:monospace; font-size:16px">Evaluating, benchmark=
ing and classifying embedded systems are challenging tasks. By definition, =
an embedded system is application specific. Furthermore, an embedded system=
 is designed to fit within certain
 constraints dictated by their target application areas. Aspects such as po=
wer consumption, real time awareness, reliability, accuracy of the computat=
ion, cost, device and physical size are all metrics under which an embedded=
 system can be classified and that
 have a direct influence on the overall system performance. All these contr=
asting metrics define how well an embedded system can address its target ap=
plication. An additional challenge derives from the fact that modern embedd=
ed systems are composed of a multitude
 of heterogeneous processing elements and components. They include general-=
purpose processors, digital signal processors, graphic processors, applicat=
ion specific accelerators, reconfigurable logic and more. These components =
can be either off-the-shelf or custom
 designed. Embedded systems often present disparate types of memory hierarc=
hies. Also the software toolchain, which includes compilers, synthesizers a=
nd optimization tools, may have significant impacts on the metrics.</span><=
