EMSOFT 2018
Call for Papers
International Conference on Embedded Software
September 30 – October 5, 2018, Torino, Italy
=========================================================================

The ACM SIGBED International Conference on Embedded Software (EMSOFT)
brings together researchers and developers from academia, industry, and
government to advance the science, engineering, and technology of embedded
software development. Since 2001, EMSOFT has been the premier venue for
cutting-edge research in the design and analysis of software that
interacts with physical processes, with a long-standing tradition for
results on cyber-physical systems, which compose computation, networking,
and physical dynamics.

Timeline
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract Submission:
- March 27, 2018

Full Paper Submission:
-April 3, 2018 (firm deadline)

Conference:
- Sep. 30 – Oct. 5, 2018


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics of Interests / Tracks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions are invited on all aspects of embedded software systems.
These include, but are not limited to:
* Embedded software design and analysis
* Formal modeling and verification
* Testing, validation, and certification
* Model- and component-based approaches
* Operating systems and middleware for embedded systems
* Embedded software for distributed, networked systems
* Embedded software deployment on multi- and many-core processors
* Safety-critical and mixed-critical embedded software design
* Time-critical embedded systems
* Scheduling and execution time analysis
* QoS management and performance analysis
* Energy-efficient embedded software
* Embedded software security
* Embedded software architectures for intensive data- and signal
processing
* Software design for cyber-physical systems
* Robust implementation of control systems
* Empirical studies and their reproduction, and confirmation
* Application areas, e.g., automotive, avionics, energy, health care,
mobile devices, multimedia, machine learning, and autonomous systems

A Special IoT (Internet of Things) Day will be organized jointly by all
conferences in ESWEEK. Papers on IoT with the distinctive EMSOFT angle
are very welcome and should be submitted to EMSOFT.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paper Process
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Papers should represent original work, not formerly published or
submitted for publication in other forums. A blind review process will be
enforced. Authors should not reveal authorship directly or indirectly
through references. EMSOFT will follow a two-stage review process, where
papers passing the first stage of reviews will be asked to revise their
work based on reviewer comments within a short time frame of around two
weeks. Accepted papers will participate in the direct journal publication
track and appear in IEEE TCAD. Formal proceedings will still be published
by ACM and IEEE.
