We are now accepting abstracts for the technical conference program for the Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley, to be held March 26 - 29, 2012 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. "Embedded" is now the bulk of the worldwide electronics market, and the interest in our technical content has never been higher. We’re anxious to see your paper proposals for technical sessions.

Slight differences this year:
1. ESC Silicon Valley is in March 2012, earlier than usual. So the timing is tighter.
2. More tracks (see below) are suggested merely to stimulate topical content. We’ll narrow the list down to about 15 after your submittals.
3. Certificate Program sessions are planned as university-like courses.
4. Looking for Fundamentals 101 and Advanced 102 sessions
5. Matching the market trend, we’re also looking for submissions in “hacking” (good and bad) and “modding” embedded systems.
