DSD 2015 - Call for Papers

18th Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design
Funchal, Madeira, Portugal - August 26-28, 2015

SCOPE

The Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design (DSD) addresses all aspects of (embedded, pervasive and high-performance) digital and mixed HW/SW system engineering, covering the whole design trajectory from specification down to micro-architectures, digital circuits and VLSI implementations. It is a forum for researchers and engineers from academia and industry working on advanced investigations, developments and applications.

The conference focuses on today's and future challenges of advanced system architectures for embedded and high-performance SH/SW systems, application analysis and parallelization, design automation for all design levels, as well as, on modern implementation technologies from full custom in nanometer technology nodes, through FPGAs, to multi-core infrastructures. It covers a multitude of highly relevant design aspects from system, hardware and embedded-software specification, modeling, analysis, synthesis and validation, through system adaptability, security, dependability and fault tolerance, to system energy consumption minimization and multi-objective optimization.

Authors are kindly invited to submit their work according (but not limited) to the seven main topics of the conference main track. In addition, eleven Special Sessions (with their own coordinators and subprogram committees) do also welcome contributions in specific themes of particular interest. All papers are reviewed following guidelines, quality requirements and thresholds that are common to all committees.

MAIN TOPICS

- Advanced applications of embedded and cyber-physical systems
- Appl. analysis and parallelization for embedded and high-performance design
- Specification, modeling, verification and test for systems, HW and embedded SW
- Design and synthesis of systems, hardware and embedded software
- Systems-on-a-chip and networks-on-a-chip
- Programmable/re-configurable/adaptable architectures

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts to www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dsd2015. Should an unexpected web access problem be encountered, please contact the Program Chair by email (dsd2015@easychair.org).
Each manuscript should include the complete paper text, all illustrations, and references. The manuscript should conform to the IEEE format: single-spaced, double column, US letter page size, 10-point size Times Roman font, up to 8 pages. In order to conduct a blind review, no indication of the authors' names should appear in the manuscript, references included.

CPS, Conference Publishing Services, publishes the (ISI indexed) DSD Proceedings, available worldwide through the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Extended versions of selected best papers will be published in a special issue of the ISI indexed "Microprocessors and Microsystems: Embedded Hardware Design" Elsevier journal.
