Call For Participation: SAMOS VIII

International Symposium on Systems, Architectures, MOdeling, and
Simulation (SAMOS VIII) Samos, Greece, July 21-24, 2008

http://ce.et.tudelft.nl/samos/samos_viii/

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

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 technical program is available at the symposium website
http://ce.et.tudelft.nl/samos/samos_viii.  The program includes 67 high
quality papers (selected from 140 submissions) and is organized into 16
sessions: Embedded Parallel Systems, Networks on a Chip, Design Space
Exploration, Applications, Processor Architecture, Multiprocessors,
Reconfigurable Computing, Memory and Caches, Architecture, New
Frontiers, SoC, Application Specific Design, Sensors and Sensor
Networks, System Modeling and Design, Programming Multicores (invited),
and System Level Design on Heterogeneous Systems (invited).


This year SAMOS also features keynotes from Yale Patt (University of
Texas-Austin), Mateo Valero (UPC), and Tor Jeremiassen (TI).


The symposium comprises two co-located events:

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

  The conference includes 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 includes state-of-the-art research papers as well as
  papers on ongoing work with promising preliminary results.
  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.
