1. Keynote talk

   We are happy to announce that Koen de Bosschere will give a keynote talk
   at SCOPES 2008. His talk will be about Memory footprint reduction for
   embedded systems and will take place from 10.30 - 12.00 o'clock on
   Friday, March 14th.

   Koen currently is professor in the PARIS research group of the ELIS
   Department at the Universiteit Gent, Belgium. His current research
   interests include computer architecture, system software and code
   optimization. In addition, he is the coordinator of the ACES research
   network and of the European HiPEAC2 network.

2. Advance programme

   As the outcome of a careful review process, the SCOPES program committee
   has selected eight excellent papers for presentation at SCOPES 2008.

   The technical presentations of this year's SCOPES cover the areas
    - Optimization and code generation for embedded processors
    - Memory- and addressing-aware compilation and
    - Validation and simulation

   The entire advance programme is also available on-line via
   www.scopesconf.org.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Social event

   In 2008, SCOPES will start with a social event taking place in the
evening
   of March 13th. Starting SCOPES with a social event will create a very
   interactive atmosphere right at the beginning of the workshop so that
   attendees can get in contact with each other and can have fruitful
   informal discussions independent of the technical presentations.

   It is foreseen to have a Pre-Workshop Dinner with a hot and cold buffet
as
   social event. We plan to have the dinner at the Bierstueberl part of the
   main restaurant of the ICM conference centre, leading to short ways
within
   ICM for all those SCOPES attendees also attending the DATE conference on
   Thursday, March 13th.

   The SCOPES dinner is free of charge for all registered SCOPES attendees.
   All attendees are invited to join us and to benefit from the informal
   discussions and the casual atmosphere within our community.

   Since not yet all details of the SCOPES social event are fixed, please
stay
   tuned and check the SCOPES website regularly for further information.
