              LCTES 2011 - FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

              ACM SIGPLAN/SIGBED Conference on
                 Languages, Compilers, Tools,
               and Theory for Embedded Systems

             (In conjunction with CPS Week 2011)
           Chicago, Illinois, USA, April 12-14 2011

*********************************************************

Embedded system design faces many challenges both with respect to 
functional requirements and non-functional requirements, many of which 
are conflicting. They are found in areas such as design and developer 
productivity, verification, validation, maintainability, and meeting 
performance goals and resource constraints. Novel design-time and 
run-time approaches are needed to meet the demand of emerging 
applications and to exploit new hardware paradigms, and in particular to 
scale up to multicores and distributed systems built from
multicores. LCTES 2011 solicits papers presenting original work on 
programming languages, compilers, tools, theory and architectures that 
help in overcoming these challenges. Research papers on innovative 
techniques are welcome, as well as experience papers on insights 
obtained by experimenting with real-world systems and applications.

Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics in 
embedded and cyber-physical systems:

* Programming language challenges, including:
     Domain-specific languages
     Features to exploit multicore, reconfigurable, and other emerging 
architectures
     Features for distributed, adaptive, and real-time control embedded 
systems
     Language capabilities for specification, composition, and 
construction of embedded systems
     Language features and techniques to enhance reliability, 
verifiability, and security
     Virtual machines, concurrency, inter-processor synchronization, and 
memory management

* Compiler challenges, including:
     Interaction between embedded/cyber-physical architectures, 
operating systems, and compilers
     Interpreters, binary translation, just-in-time compilation, and 
split compilation
     Support for enhanced programmer productivity
     Support for enhanced debugging, profiling, and exception/interrupt 
handling
     Optimization for low power/energy, code and data size, and 
best-effort and real-time performance
     Parametrized and structural compiler design space exploration and 
autotuning

* Tools for analysis, specification, design, and implementation, including:
     Hardware, system software, and application software, and their 
interfaces
     Distributed real-time control, media players, and reconfigurable 
architectures
     System integration and testing
     Performance estimation, monitoring, and tuning
     Run-time system support for embedded and cyber-physical systems
     Design space exploration tools
     Support for system security and system-level reliability
     Approaches for cross-layer system optimization

* Theory and foundations of embedded and cyber-physical systems, including:
     Predictability of resource behavior: energy, space, time
     Validation and verification, in particular of concurrent and 
distributed systems
     Formal foundations of model-based design as basis for code 
generation, analysis, and verification
     Mathematical foundations for embedded systems
     Models of computations for embedded applications

* Novel embedded and cyber-physical architectures, including:
     Design and implementation of novel architectures
     Workload analysis and performance evaluation
     Architecture support for new language features, virtualization, 
compiler techniques, and debugging tools

Submission deadline: 8 October 2010.  Page limit, format, blind review 
and other Submission guidelines: see http://lctes2011.elis.ugent.be

The conference proceedings will be published by the ACM. The authors of 
the best papers of the conference will be invited to submit an extended 
version to a special issue on LCTES of ACM Transactions in Embedded 
Computing Systems. The best paper and the best presentation will receive 
an award.
