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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Important Dates: * A 300-word abstract by March 15th, 1999 * Feedback to author on abstract by April 15th, 1999 * Eight copies of the manuscript by June 1st, 1999 * Notification of accepted papers by August 31st, 1999 * Camera-ready copies of accepted manuscripts are due by October 1st, 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Instructions for Referees If you would like to serve as a referee for the minitrack, please send an email message listing your areas of expertise to one of the minitrack coordinators.
