Conference on Design and Architectures DASIP 2008
http://www.ecsi.org/dasip
Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium DASIP Conference is sponsored by ECSI, EURASIP and Universite Libre de Bruxelles and technically co-sponsored by IEEE Benelux Section and IEEE France Section Call for Papers The development of complex applications involving signal, image and control processing, is classically divided into three consecutive steps: a theoretical study of the algorithms, a study of the target architecture, and finally the implementation. Such a linear design flow is reaching its limits due to the intense pressure on design cycle and strict performance constraints. The approach, called Algorithm-Architecture-Matching, aims to leverage the design flow by a simultaneous study of both algorithmic and architectural issues, taking into account multiple design constraints, as well as algorithm and architecture optimizations. Introducing new design methodologies is necessary when facing the new emerging applications as for example advanced mobile communication systems or smart sensors based systems. This forms a driving force for the future evolutions of embedded system designs methodologies. The research community in Europe addressing these issues is very active both in academy and industry. The goals of this Conference are to present the latest results in the domain of design and architecture for signal and image processing and to initiate a regular meeting of European researchers addressing this topic. The DASIP Conference will give the opportunity for researchers to exchange the ideas and to build the collaboration on emerging topics and technologies. It also aims to strength the links between the European Information Society Technologies (IST) priorities and the researchers in the domain of design and architecture for signal and image processing. The DASIP Conference results from the success for more than ten years of the French workshop on Algorithm-Architecture-Matching. The first edition called "Workshop on Algorithm Architecture Adequation" was held in Lannion in 1992 (AAA 1992). During eight years a two-year event was organized, AAA 1994 in Grenoble, AAA 1996 in Toulouse, AAA 1998 in Saclay and AAA 2000 in Rocquencourt. In 2002 thanks to its widespread success the workshop was extended to all francophone countries, JFAAA 2002 was held in Monastir and JFAAA 2005 in Dijon. In 2007 the workshop was extended to the Europe in order to reach a wider community. Each edition was a great success gathering more than one hundred of researchers from industry, academia and government organizations. DASIP 2008 will aim to promote and strengthen the links between European researchers further. In the context of the architectures and tools for signal and image processing DASIP 2008 topics include but are not limited to: Methods and tools for Algorithm-Architecture-Matching System level design and hardware/software codesign RTOS for embedded systems Formal models and transformations Algorithm transformations and metrics Communication synthesis Architectural and logic synthesis Design verification, fault tolerance Performance analysis and estimations Rapid system prototyping, embedded software Embedded system security New and emerging architectures and technologies SoC and MPSoC Reconfigurable ASIP FPGA, dynamic reconfigurable systems Asynchronous circuits (self-timed) Analog circuits and mixed-signal circuits Biologically based or biologically inspired systems MEMS, bioMEMS Nano-technologies, quantum computing Smart sensors Vision and audio sensor Fingerprint sensor, biosensor Structurally-embedded sensor Sensing requirements for active control systems Distributed and multiplexed sensors, sensors network Adaptive sensor, evolutionary sensor Sensor for health monitoring Sensor system monitoring Environmental monitoring Applications Embedded systems for automotive Embedded systems for health Embedded platforms for multimedia and telecom Analog mixed-signal design challenge Ambient intelligence, ubiquitous computing Wearable computing Handheld devices (smart cameras, PDAs, GPSs) Security systems, cryptography Object recognition and tracking
Special sessions and demonstrations A number of special sessions are planned during the Conference. We have two special sessions approved so far. If you wish to propose a special session you can still do so by submitting the following via e-mail (in either pdf or plain ascii text form) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Title of the proposed special session If you want to contribute to any of the special sessions approved so far (please see below) you should submit your paper via the online submission link. Papers should conform to the formatting and electronic submission guidelines of a regular DASIP paper. A list of special sessions approved so far: Special Session 1 Organizers: Yves SOREL, National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA), France and Joël GOOSSENS, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Belgium Title: Resource Management Techniques for Real-time Operating Systems in a Co-Design Framework
The session is dedicated to original contributions about resource management techniques for real-time operating systems (RTOS) based on specific and realistic hardware devices in a co-design framework. More precisely, the session will consider research papers which contribute to the techniques (resources management, scheduling, worst case execution time (WCET) characterization, synchronization mechanisms, etc.) used at operating system level but based on realistic, accurate and pragmatic
hardware issues. Examples of such hardware issues include but are not limited to: Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) technologies, multi-core architectures, low-power aware platforms, context-switch sensitive systems, caches memory devices, etc. Papers dealing with the fact that the different abstraction layers impact each other in those techniques are welcome. Special Session 2 Organiser: Ahmet T. Erdogan, The University of Edinburgh, UK Title: Systems and Architectures for Real-time Image Processing Due to rapid advancements in integrated circuit technology, the rich theoretical results that have been developed by the image and video processing research community are now being increasingly applied in practical systems to solve real-world image and video processing problems. Examples of such systems are mobile phones, digital still/video/cell-phone cameras, portable media players, personal digital assistants, high-definition television, video surveillance systems, industrial visual inspection systems, medical imaging devices, vision-guided autonomous robots, and many other real-time embedded systems. In these real-time systems, strict timing requirements demand that results are available within a certain interval of time as imposed by the application. In addition to these strict timing constraints, these systems also involve constraints such as area and power consumption. This special session brings together practitioners and researchers working in all aspects of real-time image and video processing. It will serve as a forum for exchange of novel ideas on corresponding hardware developments, software tools, system solutions, and all types of applications. Topics of interest of this special session include, but are not be restricted to: - Real-time image and video processing algorithms For further information please e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Special Session 3 Organiser: Gareth Howells, University of Kent, UK and Klaus McDonald-Maier, University of Essex, UK Title: "Formal Models, Transformations and Architectures for Reliable Embedded System Design" Due to the increasing complexity and demand for reliability and integrity there is a mounting pressure for design paradigms that facilitate safety and mission critical operation in embedded software and hardware systems, significantly in transport, industrial control and automotive systems. This special session brings together practitioners and researchers working in reliable embedded system design. This session is dedicated to contributions in the general areas of formal models, transformations and architectures with a focus on reliable embedded system design and their application for specific problems of interest. It will serve as a forum for exchange of novel ideas on corresponding hardware developments, software tools, system solutions, and all types of applications. Topics of interest of this special session include, but are not be restricted to: For further information please e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
