LCTES 2022

Date: Jun 14, 2022 9:00 am – Jun 14, 2022 8:00 pm
Location: San Diego, CA

23rd ACM SIGPLAN/SIGBED International Conference on Languages, Compilers, and Tools for Embedded Systems (LCTES 2022)

Part of the 43rd ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI 2022) June 13-17, 2022

LCTES provides a link between the programming languages and embedded systems engineering communities. Researchers and developers in these areas are addressing many similar problems, but with different backgrounds and approaches. LCTES is intended to expose researchers and developers from either area to relevant work and interesting problems in the other area and provide a forum where they can interact.

Programming languages, compilers, and tools are important interfaces between embedded systems and emerging applications in the real world. Embedded systems are aggressively adapted for deep neural network applications, autonomous vehicles, robots, healthcare applications, etc. However, these emerging applications impose challenges that conflict with conventional design requirements and increase the complexity of embedded system designs. Furthermore, they exploit new hardware paradigms to scale up multicores (including GPUs and FPGAs) and distributed systems built from many cores. Therefore, programming languages, compilers, and tools are becoming more important to address these issues such as productivity, validation, verification, maintainability, safety, and reliability for meeting both performance goals and resource constraints.

Programming language challenges, including:

Domain-specific languages
Features to exploit multicore, reconfigurable, and other emerging architectures

Virtual machines, concurrency, inter-processor synchronization, and memory management
Compiler challenges, including:

Interaction between embedded architectures, operating systems, and compilers
Interpreters, binary translation, just-in-time compilation, and split compilation
