Call for papers: 5th Workshop on Optimizations for DSP and Embedded Systems (ODES)

ODES: 5^th Workshop on Optimizations for DSP and Embedded Systems

http://www.ece.vill.edu/~deepu/odes/odes.html

March 11, 2007
San Jose, CA
in conjunction with IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO)
http://www.cgo.org/

New Submission deadline: January 19, 2007 (1 week extension!)

Call for papers

The performance requirements of digital signal processing and embedded applications are rapidly increasing, but the power and cost budgets are decreasing. Optimization plays a very important role in managing the conflicting demands. The focus of this workshop is similar to its predecessors - understand the various optimization strategies applicable to the design of DSP and embedded systems for performance, power, and cost.

Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Algorithmic transformations and code/software optimization

Hardware and software optimizations for low-power consumption and/or code density

Coprocessor and hardware accelerators

Compiler techniques and code generation for media processing

Frameworks for profiling and scheduling tasks (multiple/concurrent) on various hardware resources (single-core + hardware accelerators, dual-core, system-on-a-chip, etc)

Hardware/software tradeoffs with ASICs, FPGA's, DSPs, general-purpose processors, microcontrollers, etc as building blocks

Retargetable compilers and reconfigurable architectures

Important dates and deadlines

Submission: January 19, 2007
Acceptance: February 22, 2007
Final version: March 2, 2007

Submission guidelines

To encourage participation from both academia and industry, we are requesting submissions in either of two formats:

A full paper, not exceeding 10 pages in length, two-column formatting preferred. It is expected that an accepted submission of this type will result in a final paper appearing in the workshop's proceedings

OR

A set of slides, along with a brief description (1-2 pages) of the main theme of the talk. It is expected that an accepted submission of this type will result in a talk abstract and a set of slides appearing in the workshop's proceedings

Include the list of authors and their affiliations, addresses, telephone and fax numbers, email addresses and the name of the corresponding author. Please send the submission/s by the deadline to: Deepu Talla and Tom Vander Aa via email at deepu@ti.com and vanderaa@imec.be
