This has motivated a recent but ever growing interest in the question of educating specialists in this domain and this has also been recognized as a particularly difficult problem. This first workshop on the subject aims to bring researchers, educators, and industrial representatives together to assess needs and share design, research, and education experiences in embedded systems. Topics and Focus ---------------- Particular topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Industrial needs regarding embedded systems education - Embedded systems curricular design and implementation - Control and signal processing issues - Computer science issues - Real-time computing issues - Distributed systems issues - Extra-functional properties evaluation and optimization - Architecture and design issues - Hardware/software co-design - Hands-on experiences and labs - Teaching embedded systems Format ------ The workshop will involve: - invited presentations by: - Alberto SanGiovanni-Vincentelli (Berkeley, USA) - Martin Grimheden (KTH, Sweden) - presentations of accepted papers - poster sessions for accepted papers (as necessary) - a roundtable discussion involving a panel of embedded-systems experts Contributions ------------- Interested authors should submit an extended abstract (not to exceed 4 pages) or a full paper (not to exceed 8 pages, with a minimum font size of 10 points) to Dr. Jeff Jackson 317 Houser Hall The University of Alabama Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0286 Phone: (205) 348-2919 Email: jjackson@eng.ua.edu Electronic submission is required, preferably as a PDF attachment to an e-mail message. Publication of the proceedings of the workshop in Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS, Elsevier) is under discussion. Important Dates and Procedures ------------------------------ Submission deadline: July 27, 2005 Notification of results: August 15, 2005 Final copy due: September 9, 2005 Organizers ---------- Chairs: Jeff Jackson (University of Alabama, USA), jjackson@eng.ua.edu Paul Caspi (Verimag-CNRS, France), caspi@imag.fr Program Committee ----------------- - Moon Hae Kim (Konkuk University, Korea) - Bruce Krogh (Carnegie-Mellon University,USA) - Yann-Hang Lee (Arizone State University, USA) - Giuseppe Lipari (Scuola Superiore S.Anna, Italy) - Gregory Peterson (University of Tennessee, USA) - Kenneth Ricks (University of Alabama, USA) Web page: http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~caspi/WESE/wese-cfp.html -------- Industry Participation ---------------------- We encourage participation by book publishers, computer manufacturers, software vendors, or companies which develop or market products used in the delivery of embedded systems or embedded systems education.
