====================================================================
                   Call for Participation: ESTIMedia 2008
      6th IEEE Workshop on Embedded Systems for Real-Time Multimedia
                  October 23-24, 2008, Atlanta, Georgia
IEEE ESTIMedia '08 is organized as part of the Embedded Systems Week  
2008
             http://www.science.uva.nl/events/ESTIMedia08/
====================================================================

Today, the design process for high-end multimedia systems has become a
crucial bottleneck due to the increasing complexity of both the software
and the underlying hardware, coupled with shortened time-to-market
pressures. While there has been a notable growth in the use and
applications of multimedia systems and in the evolution of system-on- 
chip
design technology, there are still enormous opportunities for improving
design productivity in this domain. Given this backdrop, the aim of this
workshop is to bring together people from different multimedia-related
research communities (e.g, software, architectures, real-time systems,
DSP, compilers, multimedia applications) who have worked separately, but
did not interact sufficiently to address the challenges facing the  
design
of hardware and software for multimedia systems.
