The ACM has just started a new Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS).

For information on how to submit to TECS, see the TECS web site.

There will be a Special Issue based on the theme of CASES2001.

 


Time-to-market has become a crucial objective to embedded system designers in the context of enabling technologies such as compilation, novel architectures, synthesis, reconfigurable hardware and others. In these contexts, much of the successful research so far has been performed in increasingly specialized research areas localized into "communities'' working in vertically integrated fields. This working conference, the fourth in the CASES series, will provide a common forum for researchers from the computer engineering and science disciplines with an interest in embedded systems to reach across such vertically integrated communities and to promote potential synergies. As evident from the past CASES meetings, several of the emerging application areas are critically dependent on these interactions for their sustained growth and evolution. Application areas that embody application-specific embedded computing include set-top boxes, hand-held games, mobile and web appliances, advanced automotive systems, high-performance networking and others. For these areas to thrive, new technologies must address constraints on cost, code size, weight, power consumption and real-time response as well as performance. Concerns of time-to-market are a dominant but not exclusive theme of the conference.
