                                CALL FOR RESEARCH PRESENTATIONS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The workshop on Software and Compilers for Embedded Systems (SCOPES) and the 
workshop on Mapping of Applications to MPSoCs (Map2MPSoC) will organize a joint
Map2MPSoC/SCOPES workshop in 2012.

The Map2MPSoC/SCOPES workshop will feature a combination of research papers and 
research presentations (details see below). The research papers will also be 
published in the ACM digital library. The workshop will be held in cooperation 
with ACM SIGBED and EDAA.

AIM AND SCOPE

The influence of embedded systems is constantly growing. Increasingly powerful 
and versatile devices are developed and put on the market at a fast pace. Their
functionality and number of features is increasing, and so are the constraints 
on the systems concerning size, performance, energy dissipation and timing 
predictability. To meet all these constraints, multi-processor systems on a 
chip (MPSoCs) are becoming popular in embedded systems. In order to meet the 
performance and energy constraints of embedded applications, heterogeneous 
architectures incorporating functional units optimized for specific functions 
are commonly employed. This technological trend has dramatic consequences on 
the parallelization, mapping, compiler and design technology used to develop 
these systems. 

The Map2MPSoC/SCOPES workshop focusses on the software generation process for 
modern embedded systems. Topics of interest include all aspects of the 
compilation and mapping process of embedded single and multi-processor systems. 
This includes (but is not limited to):

- models of computation and programming languages;
- performance analysis techniques for models of computation;
- automatic code parallelization techniques;
- mapping and scheduling techniques for for embedded multi-processor systems;
- code generation techniques for embedded single and multi-processor 
  architectures;
- design-space exploration techniques for use in the HW/SW codesign process;
- techniques to exploit the dynamic behavior in embedded applications;
- interactions between operating systems and compilation techniques;
- techniques for compiler aided profiling, measurement, debugging and 
  validation of embedded software.

WORKSHOP STRUCTURE

The workshop structure (presentations followed by intensive discussions) allows
for an interactive atmosphere in which industrial and academic representatives
can exchange new ideas and trends in the area multi-processor mapping and
code generation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VENUE

The workshop will take place in the beautiful “Schloss Rheinfels” hotel at 
St. Goar, Germany. Schloss Rheinfels is a castle at one of the nicest places 
within the Rhine valley, itself a world heritage site. Among a set of hotels 
focusing on wellness, the hotel was voted the #1 hotel within Germany in 2007. 
There is a beautiful view from the hotel onto the river Rhine. See 
http://www.schloss-rheinfels.de for more information about the hotel 
(unfortunately, only in German). 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Map2MPSoC/SCOPES accepts two types of submissions:

* Research papers

<<Deadline for this type of papers has passed>>

* Research presentations

Research presentations should present research results relevant to the topics
addressed by the workshop. These presentations may be based on research results
that have previously been presented in other forums. Research presentations do 
not include a publication in the Map2MPSoC/SCOPES proceedings. Accepted 
research presentations will be scheduled for a presentation during the workshop. 
Authors that are interested in giving a research presentations at the Map2MPSoC/
SCOPES 2012 workshop should submit a 2 page abstract in ACM format 
(single-spaced, 2 columns, 9pt font; for instructions visit the ACM website 
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Abstracts must be 
submitted in PDF format using the Map2MPSoC/SCOPES paper submission website. 
Author names should be included on these abstracts.
