Second Call for Papers:
=======================

As embedded systems increase in number, complexity, and diversity, new
research challenges are encountered in areas such as verification,
validation, meeting performance goals and resource constraints,
creating and exploiting new hardware architectures, and scaling up to
multicores and distributed systems built from multicores.

LCTES 2009 solicits papers presenting original work on programming
languages, compilers, tools, and architectures that help meet these
challenges. Research papers (which propose innovative techniques) and
experience papers (which report experimentation with and lessons
learned from real-world systems and applications) are both welcome.

In addition to its regular sessions, LCTES 2009 will feature special
events such as an industrial panel, keynotes, tutorials and
demonstrations to bring out the latest and more interesting aspects of
embedded systems. Examples include tools for multi-cores, emerging
platforms such as smart phones, multi-player game machines and
autonomous vehicles and embedded supercomputing.

Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, the following aspects of
embedded and cyber physical systems design:

Programming language issues in embedded systems, including

(*)    Language features to exploit multi-core, single-chip SIMD, 
reconfigurable architecture and other emerging architectures
(*)    Language features for distributed real-time control, media 
players, and other complex embedded systems
(*)    Language features to enhance reliability and security
(*)    Virtual machines, concurrency, inter-processor synchronization 
mechanisms, concurrency, memory management techniques

Compiler issues in embedded systems, including

(*)    Interaction between embedded computer architectures, operating 
systems and compilers
(*)    Interpreters, binary translation and just-in-time compilation
(*)    Support for debugging, profiling, exception and interrupt 
handling, for reliability and security
(*)    Optimization for low power, low energy, low code and data size, 
and high (real-time) performance

Tools for analysis, specification, design and implementation of
embedded systems, including

(*)    Hardware, system software, and application, and their interface
(*)    Distributed real-time control, media players, reconfigurable 
architectures and other complex systems
(*)    Validation and verification, system integration and testing
(*)    Timing analysis, timing predictability, WCET analysis and 
real-time scheduling analysis
(*)    Performance monitoring and tuning
(*)    Runtime system support for embedded systems

Novel embedded architectures

(*)    Design and implementation of novel embedded architectures
(*)    Workload analysis and performance evaluation
(*)    Architecture support for new language features, new compiler 
techniques and debugging tools
