8th International Workshop on

Software and Compilers for Embedded Systems

SCOPES 2004

Call for Papers

The scope of the workshop is software for embedded systems. The emphasis is on code generation techniques (compilers) for embedded processors which consider their typical characteristics, for instance heterogeneous register files, VLIW parallelism and special architectural features for signal processing or microcontroller applications.

Topics of highest interest include:
  • code generation for embedded processors
  • compilers for reconfigurable architectures
  • retargetable compilation techniques for fast design space exploration
  • compilation for hardware/software co-design
  • application specific programmable core/software development tools co-design
  • profiling and analysis techniques for embedded software
  • optimizations for embedded Java
  • specification and validation techniques for embedded software
  • run-time support and real-time operating systems
  • software synthesis
  • exploitation of memory hierarchies
  • optimization for low-power architectures
  • design of embedded software

SCOPES 2004 solicits in particular papers on compilation and software design for heterogeneous single chip multi-core processors, including the partitioning and debugging of the software  for such processors.

The plan is to have one day of the workshop devoted to compilers for embedded processors and one day on general issues related to embedded software and embedded processor architectures. In addition, there will be a keynote presentation by a well-known speaker.

A key goal of the workshop is to provide an interactive atmosphere. Questions are allowed during all presentations. There will be special discussion sessions. The workshop is open to all interested participants active in the field.
 

Proceedings

The proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Depending on the rating by the program committee, the authors of the best contributions will be invited to submit an extended and reworked full paper for inclusion in a special issue of ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS).

Submitting Papers

Papers should present original, new research results not published or submitted for publication in other forums. Papers should not exceed 15 pages (LNCS format) in postscript, PDF or RTF format. Papers should be submitted using the submission page, which will be opened as of March 15, 2004.

By submitting a paper, the authors agree to prepare the final camera ready version in time and to present the paper in person at the workshop, if accepted. They furthermore agree to prepare an extended full paper for the special issue of ACM TECS, if selected by the program committee.
