This special session addresses all aspects of monitoring for adaptive parallel systems, such as theory and modeling,
scalable design approach and framework, algorithms, analysis, design techniques and practical implementations.

The Proceedings will be published by IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS), which are available worldwide through the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. An extended version of the best papers will be published in a special issue of the ISI-indexed “Microprocessors and Microsystems: Embedded Hardware Design” journal, printed by Elsevier Ltd.

Papers on any of the following and related topics can be submitted to this special session:

* Design space explorations and tradeoff analysis
* Scalable monitoring architectures
* Formal methods for modeling, design and verification
* Analysis, design and implementation of monitoring communication
* Monitoring for NoCs and SoCs
* Low-power monitors and sensors
* Decision-making algorithms
* Reconfigurable and fault tolerant monitoring approaches
* Monitoring techniques for FPGA based designs
* Applications demonstrating monitoring implementation
* Methods for distributed parallel system monitoring
* Monitoring in Cyber physical systems

Important Dates:

* Submission of papers: March 21, 2011
* Notification of acceptance: April 24th, 2011
* Camera ready papers: May 29th, 2011
