ACM SIGPLAN/SIGBED Conference on Languages, Compilers, and Tools for Embedded Systems

Embedded system design faces many challenges both with respect to functional requirements and nonfunctional requirements. The challenges are in the design process, developer productivity, verification, validation, maintainability, and meeting performance goals and resource constraints of the embedded system. Novel design-time and run-time approaches are needed to meet the demand of emerging applications and to exploit new hardware paradigms, including scaling up to multicores, in-memory computing, involving accelerators in the computing mix, and even distributed systems built using multi-cores.

Topics of Interest
Original contributions are solicited on the topics of interest including, but not limited to:

Programming languages: Domain-specific languages; Features to exploit multicore, reconfigurable, and other emerging architectures; Features for distributed, adaptive, and real-time control embedded systems; Language capabilities for specification, composition, and construction of embedded systems; Language features and techniques to enhance reliability, verifiability, and security; Virtual machines, concurrency, inter-processor synchronization, and memory management.

Compilers: Interaction between embedded architectures, operating systems, and compilers; Interpreters, binary translation, just-in-time compilation, and split compilation; Support for enhanced programmer productivity; Support for enhanced debugging, profiling, and exception/interrupt handling; Optimization for low power/energy, code and data size, and best-effort and real-time performance; Parameterized and structural compiler design space exploration and auto-tuning.

Tools for analysis, specification, design, and implementation: Hardware, system software, application software, and their interfaces; Distributed real-time control, media players, and reconfigurable architectures; System integration and testing; Performance estimation, monitoring, and tuning; Run-time system support for embedded systems; Design space exploration tools; Support for system security and system-level reliability; Approaches for cross-layer system optimization.
