ACM Transactions in Embedded Computing Systems (TECS)
Special Issue on Languages, Compilers, and Tools for Embedded Systems
Call For Papers
As the complexity of the application domains for the embedded systems increases, new research challenges are encountered for meeting a variety of performance goals, such as speed, real time constraints, code size, power constraints, and scalability. Due to limited resources locally available, embedded systems are increasingly used in a networked (wired, wireless, as well as mobile) environment. In addition, there is a growing trend towards solutions using a combination of hardware and software techniques. The aim of this special issue is to present recent advances and the state-of-the-art in languages, compilers, and tools for embedded systems. Submissions are being solicited by the guest editors (see below) in areas relevant to this theme.
Examples of areas/topics of interest include
· Program optimization for real-time performance and DSPs
· Compilation for hardware/software co-design
· Compilers for reconfigurable architectures
· Optimization for low-power architectures
· Exploitation of memory hierarchies
· Memory management/garbage collection for embedded systems
· Programming languages for embedded applications
· Real-time and embedded Java, real-time UML
· Object-oriented modeling and design
· Design, specification, analysis of embedded systems
· Software Synthesis
· Validation and verification techniques for embedded software
· Embedded system integration and testing
· Standardization for embedded systems
· Programming environment and tools for real-time operating systems
· Real-time scheduling analysis
· Exception and interrupt handling for real-time systems
· Software design for multiprocessor embedded systems
· Concurrent/distributed embedded environments/runtime systems
· Timing analysis: static and dynamic approaches
· Timing predictability of modern architectures
· Support for partitioning, mapping, and compression
· Profiling, measurement, debugging of embedded applications
· Experiences from experimental systems and case studies
A selected number of top papers from LCTES'07 are invited by the guest
editors. Authors of these papers are asked to extend their work for a TECS
journal publication, which is then subjected to a second, rigorous review
process. Notified authors of the top
LCTES papers should submit their journal version at Manuscript Central adhering
to the formatting instructions on the TECS Web page and indicate that you are
submitting to the Special Issue on Languages, Compilers, and Tools for Embedded
Systems.
