Embedded processors are being used in numerous applications like automotive
systems, hand-held devices, set-top boxes, wireless communications etc. Due
to the nature of these applications, processors must satisfy low power
requirements, low price, small memory and yet high computational power.
Traditionally these processors had application specific instruction set
architectures and were programmed in assembly languages. The complexity of
developing, maintaining and time to market considerations of applications
based on these processors is causing a significant effort being devoted to
the development of software tools. This track is a forum for researchers to
present their ideas about these tools for embedded systems specifically on
processor designs, optimizing compilers, debuggers, profilers, development
environments, simulators, verification systems etc. Topics of interest, but
not limited to, for this minitrack are:


      * Software Patterns for embedded applications
      * Programming languages for embedded applications
      * Formal specification and verification of embedded systems
      * Real-Time Operating systems for Embedded Processors
      * Language extensions to exploit architectural features of embedded
          processors
      * Optimizations to reduce code size, increase execution efficiency and
          power consumption
      * Compiler techniques to exploit the instruction level and task level
          parallelism in embedded applications
      * Architectural Innovations for producing optimizing compilers for
          embedded applications
      * Profiling and performance evaluation of embedded applications
      * Debugging of embedded applications
      * Formal techniques to predict the performance of embedded applications
      * Testing techniques for embedded applications
      * Project management techniques for embedded software
      * Hardware/software co-design for embedded systems
      * Simulation of embedded processors
      * Program development environments for embedded systems

Instructions for Authors


Submit a 300-word abstract to one of the minitrack coordinators by March
15, 1999. The preferred mode of submission is via email. Feedback on the
appropriateness of the abstract will be sent to you by April 15, 1999.
Submit eight (8) copies of the full manuscript by June 1, 1999. Manuscripts
should have an abstract and be 22-25 typewritten, double-spaced pages in
length. Papers must not have been previously presented or published, nor
currently submitted for journal publication. Each manuscript will be
subjected to a rigorous refereeing process involving at least five
reviewers.
