RATIONALE
Recently, demand for high performance embedded computing has experienced
an impressive growth. At the same time, embedded software has become
more and more complex, posing new challenging issues never faced before
in this application field. It is thus clear that nowadays the
development of embedded systems must rely, even more than in the recent
past, on specific solutions both in the hardware and in the software
components. Moreover, the need to timely tackle changes in the market
pushes toward the employment of methodologies for shortening the
development time and for driving the evolution of existing products. The
solutions to new problems emerging in this setting call for a joint
effort by academia and industry.
Design of embedded systems must take into account a wide variety of
constraints: performance, code size, power consumption, presence of
real-time tasks, maintainability, and possibly scalability: the more
convenient trade-off has to be found, often operating on a large number
of different parameters. In this scenario, solutions can be proposed at
different levels of abstraction, making use of an assortment of tools
and methodologies: researchers and practitioners have a chance to
propose new ideas and to compare experimentations.
The focus of this conference track is on the application of both novel
and well-known techniques to the embedded systems development.
Particular attention is paid to solutions that require expertise in
different fields (e. g. computer architecture, OS, compilers, software
engineering, simulation). In this setting, researchers and practitioners
from academia and industry will get a chance to keep in touch with
problems, open issues and future directions in the field of development
of dedicated applications for embedded systems.

SUBMISSIONS
Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review
process by at least three referees.
The accepted papers will be published in the ACM SAC 2005 proceedings.
Please note that accepted papers must fit within five (5) two column
pages, with the option (at additional expenses) to add three (3) more pages.
Submission guidelines must be strictly followed:
- Each paper must be prepare in an electronic format, either PDF
(preferred) or postscript.
Please note: neither hardcopy nor fax submissions will be accepted.
Submissions should be printable on a standard printer on common
paperformats like letter and DIN A4. Please use a Postscript previewer
such as Ghostview to check the portability of Postscript documents. The
acceptable compression format is Zip.
- The author(s) name(s) and address(es) <b>must not appear in the body
of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is
to facilitate blind review.
- The body of the paper should not exceed 4,000 words.
- A separate cover sheet (this should be sent separately from the main
paper) should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and
affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax)
to which correspondence should be sent.
- The actual submission procedure will be communicated in the track
website as soon as possible.
- All submissions must be received by September 3rd, 2004.
Questions can be directed to the Track Chairs. Additional details are
available at the track home page at
