LCTES 2011 - FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

ACM SIGPLAN/SIGBED Conference on

Languages, Compilers, Tools,

and Theory for Embedded Systems

(In conjunction with CPS Week 2011)

Chicago, Illinois, USA, April 12-14 2011

http://lctes2011.elis.ugent.be

Deadline: 8 October 2010.

Embedded system design faces many challenges both with respect to functional

requirements and non-functional requirements, many of which are

conflicting. They are found in areas such as design and developer productivity,

verification, validation, maintainability, and meeting performance goals and

resource constraints. Novel design-time and run-time approaches are needed to

meet the demand of emerging applications and to exploit new hardware paradigms,

and in particular to scale up to multicores and distributed systems built from

multicores. LCTES 2011 solicits papers presenting original work on programming

languages, compilers, tools, theory and architectures that help in overcoming

these challenges. Research papers on innovative techniques are welcome, as well

as experience papers on insights obtained by experimenting with real-world

systems and applications.

Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics in embedded

and cyber-physical systems:

* Programming language challenges, including:

Domain-specific languages

Features to exploit multicore, reconfigurable, and other emerging architectures

Features for distributed, adaptive, and real-time control embedded systems

Language capabilities for specification, composition, and construction of embedded systems

Language features and techniques to enhance reliability, verifiability, and security

Virtual machines, concurrency, inter-processor synchronization, and memory management

* Compiler challenges, including:

Interaction between embedded/cyber-physical architectures, operating systems, and compilers

Interpreters, binary translation, just-in-time compilation, and split compilation

Support for enhanced programmer productivity

Support for enhanced debugging, profiling, and exception/interrupt handling

Optimization for low power/energy, code and data size, and best-effort and real-time performance

Parametrized and structural compiler design space exploration and autotuning

* Tools for analysis, specification, design, and implementation, including:

Hardware, system software, and application software, and their interfaces

Distributed real-time control, media players, and reconfigurable architectures

System integration and testing

Performance estimation, monitoring, and tuning

Run-time system support for embedded and cyber-physical systems

Design space exploration tools

Support for system security and system-level reliability

Approaches for cross-layer system optimization

* Theory and foundations of embedded and cyber-physical systems, including:

Predictability of resource behavior: energy, space, time

Validation and verification, in particular of concurrent and distributed systems

Formal foundations of model-based design as basis for code generation, analysis, and verification

Mathematical foundations for embedded systems

Models of computations for embedded applications

* Novel embedded and cyber-physical architectures, including:

Design and implementation of novel architectures

Workload analysis and performance evaluation

Architecture support for new language features, virtualization, compiler techniques, and debugging tools

Submission deadline: 8 October 2010. Page limit, format, blind review and other

Submission guidelines: see http://lctes2011.elis.ugent.be. There will also be

a call for posters and work-in-progress presentations.

The conference proceedings will be published by the ACM. The authors of the best

papers of the conference will be invited to submit an extended version to a

special issue on LCTES of ACM Transactions in Embedded Computing Systems. The

best paper and the best presentation will receive an award.
