CALL FOR PAPERS
SIES?2008
IEEE Third Symposium on Industrial Embedded Systems
June 11- 13, 2008
Montpellier - La Grande Motte, FRANCE
Conference web site: http://www.lirmm.fr/SIES2008/
Sponsored by:

LIRMM CNRS/University of Montpellier II
AIM
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers and practitioners from industry
and academia and provide them with a platform to report on recent developments, deployments,
technology trends and research results, as well as initiatives related to embedded systems
and their applications in a variety of industrial environments.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BACKGROUND
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Application domains have had a considerable impact on the evolution of embedded systems, in
terms of required methodologies and supporting tools and resulting technologies. SoCs and
SoPC are slowly making inroads into the area of industrial automation to implement complex
field-area intelligent devices which integrate the intelligent sensor/actuator functionality
by providing on-chip signal conversion, data processing, and communication functions. There
is a growing tendency to network field-area intelligent devices around industrial type of
communication networks. Similar trends appear in the automotive electronic systems where the
Electronic Control Units, typically implemented as heterogeneous system-on-chip, are
networked by means of one safety-critical communication protocol. The design of this kind of
networked embedded systems (this includes also hard real-time industrial control systems) is
a challenge in itself due to the distributed nature of processing elements, sharing common
communication medium, and safety-critical requirements, to mention some.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics within the scope of the symposium will include, but are not
limited to:
-Embedded Systems
-System-on-Chip and Network-on-Chip Design & Testing
-Networked Embedded Systems
-Embedded Applications
-Multi-Processors Systems-on-Chips
-Sensors networks and ubiquitous computing
-Application of Reconfigurable and Adaptive Systems
-Automotive / Avionics systems
-Fault-tolerant embedded systems and applications
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Work-in-Progress (WIP)? limited to 4 double column pages.
Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in PDF format,
according to the instructions contained in the Symposium web site.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL SESSION ORGANIZATION :
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To enhance the technical program and focus on specific topics and areas,
the SIES'2008 Symposium will include special sessions, in addition to
regular ones. Special sessions can cover subjects or cross-subjects
belonging to the topics of interest, or novel topics related with the
ones identified within the topics of interest. Special sessions can
also have the drive from specific R&D projects or clusters of projects,
namely EU-sponsored R&D projects.
