------------------------------------------------------------------------- | CALL FOR PAPERS | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | SIES’2008 | | IEEE Third Symposium on Industrial Embedded Systems | | June 11- 13, 2008 | | Montpellier - La Grande Motte, FRANCE | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| Conference web site: http://www.lirmm.fr/SIES2008/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: IEEE Industrial Electronics Society LIRMM CNRS/University of Montpellier II AIM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia and provide them with a platform to report on recent developments, deployments, technology trends and research results, as well as initiatives related to embedded systems and their applications in a variety of industrial environments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BACKGROUND ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Application domains have had a considerable impact on the evolution of embedded systems, in terms of required methodologies and supporting tools and resulting technologies. SoCs and SoPC are slowly making inroads into the area of industrial automation to implement complex field-area intelligent devices which integrate the intelligent sensor/actuator functionality by providing on-chip signal conversion, data processing, and communication functions. There is a growing tendency to network field-area intelligent devices around industrial type of communication networks. Similar trends appear in the automotive electronic systems where the Electronic Control Units, typically implemented as heterogeneous system-on-chip, are networked by means of one safety-critical communication protocol. The design of this kind of networked embedded systems (this includes also hard real-time industrial control systems) is a challenge in itself due to the distributed nature of processing elements, sharing common communication medium, and safety-critical requirements, to mention some. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topics within the scope of the symposium will include, but are not limited to: -Embedded Systems -System-on-Chip and Network-on-Chip Design & Testing -Networked Embedded Systems -Embedded Applications -Multi-Processors Systems-on-Chips -Sensors networks and ubiquitous computing -Application of Reconfigurable and Adaptive Systems -Automotive / Avionics systems -Fault-tolerant embedded systems and applications ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLICITED PAPERS : ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Long Papers - limited to 8 double column pages. - Industry Practice (IP)– limited to 8 double column pages. - Work-in-Progress (WIP)– limited to 4 double column pages. Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in PDF format, according to the instructions contained in the Symposium web site. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AUTHOR'S SCHEDULE (Deadlines): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deadline for submission of proposals for long papers: Feb 18, 2008 **FINAL DEADLINE EXTENSION** Notification of acceptance for long papers: Apr 1,2008 Final manuscripts for long papers submission: Apr 22,2008 Deadline for WIP and IP papers: Mar 28, 2008 **EXTENDED DEADLINE** Notification of acceptance of WIP and IP papers: Apr 25, 2008 Final manuscripts of WIP & IP papers submission: May 2, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPECIAL SESSION ORGANIZATION : ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To enhance the technical program and focus on specific topics and areas, the SIES'2008 Symposium will include special sessions, in addition to regular ones. Special sessions can cover subjects or cross-subjects belonging to the topics of interest, or novel topics related with the ones identified within the topics of interest. Special sessions can also have the drive from specific R&D projects or clusters of projects, namely EU-sponsored R&D projects. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIES'2008 COMMITTEES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ General Co-Chairs: Luis Gomes, Univ.
