Workshop on Compilers and Tools for
Constrained Embedded Systems
Held in conjunction with the 2004 International Conference on Compilers, Architectures, and Synthesis for Embedded Systems (CASES 2004).
Embedded systems differ from general-purpose systems in constraints such as unit and development costs, time-to-market, real-time operation, I/O with the outside world, memory size, power and energy consumption, reliability and maintainability. Existing compilers and tools provide inadequate support for optimizing for these criteria. Advanced compilers and software analysis tools can leverage application knowledge to better meet the constraints. Such tools will reduce the burden on the programmer vs. manually aiming to satisfy the constraints. Advances in debugging, especially in the presence of real-time constraints, will also increase programmer productivity.

Submission of Papers
Initial submitted papers should not exceed 8 pages in 11 point font size. Most papers should represent original work not published or submitted for publication in other forums; but high-quality position papers and surveys will also be considered. Papers should be emailed to Rajeev Barua at barua@eng.umd.edu. Accepted final papers should not be longer than 10 pages (including figures, references and appendices) in 11 point font. All accepted papers will be presented at the workshop; included in informal proceedings that will be distributed at the workshop; and posted on the workshop homepage.
A PDF version of the Call for paper is available here.
