----------------------------------------------------------------------

SAMOS is a premier and well-established symposium on embedded systems
organized annually since 2001. The symposium brings together researchers
from academia and industry on the quiet and inspiring northern
mountainside of the Mediterranean island of Samos. It provides an
environment where collaboration rather than competition is fostered.

The symposium comprises two co-located events:

* International Conference on Embedded Computer Systems:
  Architectures, Modeling, and Simulation (IC-SAMOS)

  The conference considers new state-of-the-art mature research
  papers on all aspects of embedded processor hardware/software
  design and integration. The IC-SAMOS is an IEEE co-sponsored
  conference and the conference proceedings will be published in the
  IEEE series.

* International Workshop on Systems, Architectures, Modeling, and
  Simulation (SAMOS Workshop)

  The workshop considers state-of-the-art research papers as well as
  papers on ongoing work with promising preliminary results.
  Positional and in-depth review papers are also considered.
  Furthermore, the workshop covers additional topics compared to
  IC-SAMOS that are complementary to processing and necessary to build
  embedded systems, e.g., sensor systems. The workshop proceedings
  will be published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series (pending).

The IC-SAMOS topics of interest are: (but not limited to)

* Application-specific/Domain-specific Embedded Systems
* Profiling, Measurement and Analysis Techniques for Embedded Systems
* Hardware/Software Co-design
* Design Space Exploration
* System-Level Design, Simulation, and Verification
* Embedded Reconfigurable Processors
* Multimedia and Graphics Architectures
* Energy-Aware and Low-Power Processors
* Embedded Parallel Systems
* Application Specifications and Modeling for Embedded Systems
* Memory Management, Smart Caches, and Compiler Controlled Memories
* Design, Specification and Synthesis of Embedded Systems
* Compilers and Mapping Technologies
* Multi-threaded Processors
* Computer Aided Design
* Specification Languages and Models
* Processor Simulation Technologies
* Novel Architectures and Micro-architectures for Embedded Systems
* Network-on-Chip Platforms
* Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip
* Digital Signal Processors

Within the SAMOS 2008 Workshop, two special sessions will be organized on:
1) System Level Design for Heterogeneous Signal Processing Systems
focusing on additional topics related to areas of system level modeling,
rapid implementation and design space exploration of heterogeneous DSP
systems, and dataflow modeling principles.
2) High-Speed Interconnects for On- and Off-Chip Networks focusing on
additional topics related to switching and interconnection networks, fault
tolerance, and quality of service.
