Final Call For Papers

EMSOFT 2003
3rd International Conference on Embedded Software
http://www.emsoft.org/

In cooperation with the ACM

Philadelphia, USA
October 13 -- 15, 2003

Aims and Scope:

The purpose of the conference is to bring together researchers and
developers from academia, industry, and government to advance the
science, engineering, and technology in embedded software development.
EMSOFT was started two years ago with focus on principles of embedded
software development and aims at covering all aspects of embedded
software. The first meeting was held as a conference with only invited
speakers, and was sponsored by DARPA and NSF at Lake Tahoe in October
2001. The second meeting held in October 2002 in Grenoble, France, had
a mix of invited and contributed papers with over 150 participants
spanning different areas.

Submissions are invited in all areas of embedded software, including

- System design and integration methodologies
- Programming languages and software engineering
- Operating systems and middleware
- Architectures and compilers
- Models of computation and formal methods
- Scheduling and execution time analysis
- Communication protocols and fault tolerance
- Hardware/software codesign and systems-on-chip
- Applications, such as embedded control, smart sensors, and multimedia

The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer
Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series (see volumes 2211 and 2491
for past proceedings).  Selected papers will be invited after the
meeting to submit an extended version to a special issue of ACM
Transactions on Embedded Computer Systems.

Instructions for Submission:

Submitted papers must present original research which is unpublished
and not submitted elsewhere.  Papers should be prepared using
Springer's LNCS style (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html),
and must be at most 16 pages (including abstract, figures, appendices,
and bibliography).  Instructions for submitting the papers electronically
are on the conference webpage.
