International Conference on Embedded Computer Systems: Architectures, Modeling and Simulation (SAMOS XXIV)

Date: Jun 29, 2024 6:00 am – Jul 04, 2024 4:00 pm
Location: Pythagorion, Samos Island, Greece

SAMOS is a unique conference. It deals with embedded systems (sort of) but that is not what makes it different. It brings together every year researchers from both academia and industry on the quiet and inspiring northern mountainside of the Mediterranean island of Samos, which in itself is different. But more importantly, it really fosters collaboration rather than competition. Formal and intensive technical sessions are only held in the mornings. A lively panel or distinguished keynote speaker ends the formal part of the day, and leads nicely into the afternoons and evenings — reserved for informal discussions, good food, and the inviting Aegean Sea. The conference papers will be published by Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science – LNCS and will be included in the DBLP Database, among other databases. Authors are invited to submit technical papers in accordance with the author’s instructions describing original work in either one of the Conference Tracks or one of the Special Sessions.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to contribute to a special issue of the International Journal of Parallel Programming (IJPP). This issue will accept papers from all the topics of the SAMOS conference. The length of the papers is limited to 16 pages in LNCS format (see submission guidelines). You can submit your paper here. Information about the conference hotel can be found here.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): 

 - Novel Architectures for Accelerators in High Performance Embedded Systems;
 - Application-specific and Domain-specific Embedded Heterogeneous Multicore Systems;
 - Embedded Reconfigurable Processors;
 - Software tools, Compilation techniques and optimizations, and Code generation for Reconfigurable Architectures;
