Workshop
on Constraint-Aware Embedded Software
During the 24th IEEE Int'l.
Real-Time Systems Symposium
December 2, 2003
Cancun, Mexico
The importance of design constraints on embedded systems has long been
recognized, but techniques that effectively manage several constraints
at once and in an integrated fashion are still lacking at the software
level. There is a need for effective solutions that can balance many
constraints at once, including memory, storage, performance, power, and
timeliness from within embedded software. This workshop solicits
papers that report new results on the unique challenges faced by
managing multiple constraints at the software layer. The topics of
interest include but are not limited to:
- Application-level management of system resources and constraints,
- Operating system policies for holistically managing multiple
resources simultaneously,
- Approaches to increasing application and system software synergy
to meet the challenges of multiple constraints,
- Compiler techniques that make effective trade-offs of one
constraint for another,
- Tools and design environments for exploring the interplay of
different constraints,
- Real experiences with balancing constraints in embedded software
Accepted papers will be published in a digest of papers to be
distributed at the workshop. Electronic (email) submission of papers is
required. The
deadline for submissions is October 31, 2003.
Papers should be at most 6 pages in 10-point type and two columns.
Papers must be formatted in US Letter page size (8.5 x 11.0"). Adobe
PDF is preferred for submission; however, Postscript is acceptable.
Papers must be viewable with Adobe Acrobat 3.0 or Ghostscript. Please
be sure that all necessary fonts are embedded in the PDF or postscript
file.
