WISES 2012 provides an excellent opportunity for discussing research on intelligent methods in embedded systems engineering. Embedded systems require innovative and intelligent solutions in order to satisfy the challenging demands such as increasing functionality, real-time operation and constraints concerning cost, size and power consumption of new emerging application areas such as pervasive computing environments and sensor networks.

The objective of this workshop is to create a forum for exchanging ideas, discuss solutions and share experiences among researchers and developers both from industry and academia. Original papers describing prototype implementations and deployments of embedded systems are particularly welcome. In order to provide young researchers a forum to exchange their ideas WISES 2012 will include a special session for PhD-Students.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Embedded systems architecture, novel hardware platforms

Multicore SoC (e.g. homogeneous, heterogeneous MPSoC)
Memory systems and optimization in embedded systems
On-chip buses and point-to-point networks
Application-specific (e.g. ASIPs, hardware accelerators)
Architectures and tools for reconfigurable computing
Software for single or multi-core embedded systems

Applications and systems software (e.g. drivers, communication libraries)
Real-time operating systems and middleware in embedded systems
Prototype platforms, applications and case studies

Next generation networking and mobile/wireless technology
Sensor networks and related hardware/software platforms
Smart energy applications
Embedded systems with ambient intelligence and pervasiveness
Self-* algorithms for embedded applications
Single and multi-UAV applications
Tools and methodologies for analysis, exploration and validation

Cost-efficient and power-aware embedded system design
Fault tolerance, reliability and security in embedded systems
Real-time embedded systems
Debugging and profiling techniques and tools
Cyber-physical systems
Special sessions

PhD students session
