*DSD 2013*

*16th EUROMICRO Conference on Digital System Design*

*Santander, Spain, 4 – 6 September, 2013*

*Scope*

The Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design (DSD) addresses all aspects of (embedded, pervasive and high-performance) digital and mixed hardware/software system engineering, covering the whole design trajectory from requirement specification down to micro-architectures, digital circuits and their VLSI implementations. It is a discussion forum for researchers and engineers from academia and industry working on state-of-the-art investigations, developments and applications.

It focuses on today’s and future challenging applications, advanced system architectures, application analysis and parallelization for embedded and high-performance hardware and software system-level design, design automation methods and tools for all design levels, as well as, on modern implementation technologies from full custom in nanometer technology nodes, through FPGAs, to multi-core infrastructures. It covers a multitude of highly relevant design aspects from system, hardware and embedded-software specification, modeling, analysis, synthesis and validation, through system adaptability, security, dependability and fault tolerance, to system energy consumption minimization and multi-objective optimization.


*Main Topics (Detailed descriptions in the Conference Web Site)*

T1: (APP) Applications of (embedded) digital systems.
T2: (AP-HwSw) Application analysis and parallelization for embedded and high-performance design.
T3: (SMVT) System, hardware and embedded-software specification, modeling, verification and test.
T4: (SHES) System, hardware and embedded software design and automatic synthesis.
T5: (SoC & NoC) Systems-on-a-chip and networks-on-a-chip.
T6: (RC) Programmable/re-configurable/adaptable architectures.
T7: (ET) Important issues introduced by emerging technologies.
