WORKSHOP INFORMATION:

Now in its sixth year, CASES (the Intl. Conf. on Compilers,
Architectures,
and Synthesis for Embedded Systems) is expanding to include a full
day of
workshops. In this introductory year, CASES will be hosting two
workshops:
the Workshop on Compilers and Tools for Constrained Embedded
Systems (CTCES),
and the Workshop on Media and Signal Processors for Embedded
Systems and SoCs
(MASES). We are now soliciting papers for these workshops.
Interested
authors should submit papers by September 3, 2003 (there will be
an automatic
one-week extension).

Following are short CFPs for the two workshops. Complete CFPs may
be found
at the CASES conference website,
http://www.casesconference.org/:

CTCES - Workshop on Compilers and Tools for Constrained
Embedded Systems:
Embedded system design tools commonly use generic compiler
tools,
resulting in lower compiler efficiency and requiring
increased
processor speed, power, and memory. Advanced compilers,
software
analysis, and debugging tools can help provide more
resource-efficient
systems, reduce time-to-market, and increase code
maintainability by
leveraging application knowledge to trade off the various
resource
constraints. These tools can also extract and utilize
application
characteristics, providing designers a clear view of the
relevant
application characteristics and freeing them from tedious
manual
analysis.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for
investigating
ways of sharpening currently blunt compilers and software
tools,
enabling them to do precisely what the user needs with
minimal effort.
A related goal is to identify those research challenges
facing
designers of embedded systems (low- through high-end)
which could
benefit from advanced compilation methods and software
tools. To
this end we solicit short or full-length papers from
academia and
industry describing current challenges, whether "grand" or
"bland"
-- solutions are not required.

MASES - Workshop on Media and Signal Processing in Embedded
Sys. and SoCs:
Embedded media, communications, and signal processing
continues to become an increasingly ubiquitious part
of everyday life. However,
the design of such systems is often characterized by low
cost and
high computational complexity and power requirements, as
well as the
growing demand for greater functionality and application
flexibility,
and simpler integration with other embedded systems.
These complex
and often conflicting design goals require significant
advances in
architectures, compilers, and design tools for these
systems.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for
investigating
architectures, compilers, and design tools for future
media,
communications, and signal processing systems. We are
soliciting
short or full-length papers in areas of media and signal
processing
in embedded systems and systems-on-a-chip (SoCs),
including, but not
limited to: computer architectures, compiler technology,
design
tools and methodologies, memory systems, low power,
workload
evaluation, static and dynamic reconfigurability, dynamic
resource
optimization, and case studies.

PAPER SUBMISSION:

Papers should be submitted electronically through the conference
web site
in PDF format. Shortened papers (4-6 pages) may be submitted for
review;
please describe any changes/additions anticipated for the final
version.
Final papers should be no more than 12 single-spaced pages, with 1
inch
margins and 10 pt font. Author affiliations should be included on
the first
page of the paper, along with a 300 word abstract. All accepted
papers will
be presented at the workshop and included in informal proceedings
that will
be distributed at the workshop. In addition, accepted papers will
be made
available on the workshop hom page.


CONFERENCE INFORMATION:

The CASES conference provides a forum for emerging technology in
embedded
computing systems, with an emphasis on compilers and architectures
for
embedded systems. CASES is a common forum for researchers with an
interest
in embedded systems to reach across vertically integrated
communities and
to promote synergies. As evident from the past CASES meetings,
several
emerging applications are critically dependent on these
interactions for
their sustained growth and evolution.

CTCES and MASES will be held in conjunction with CASES in San
Jose, CA
from Oct. 30 - Nov. 1, 2003. Additional details on the
conference, including
workshop paper submission, advance programs, and registration, may
be
found at the conference website:
http://www.casesconference.org/

CASES is generously sponsored by ACM SIGMICRO and IEEE TC uARCH.
