Abstract
High performance embedded computing has recently become more and more present in devices used in everyday life. A wide variety of applications, from consumer electronics to biomedical systems, require building up powerful yet cheap embedded devices. Embedded software has tumed out to be more and more complex, posing new challenging issues: the adoption of further flexible programming paradigms/architectures is becoming almost mandatory. Nonetheless, embedded systems development nowadays must rely on a tight coupling of hardware and software components. In this scenario, efficient solutions can be proposed at different levels of abstraction, making use of an assortment of tools and methodologies: researchers and practitioners have a chance to propose new ideas and to compare experimentations. The focus of this conference track is on the application of both novel and well-known techniques to the embedded systems development. Particular attention is paid to solutions that require expertise in different fields (e.g. computer architecture, OS, compilers, security, software engineering, simulation). The track benefits also from direct experiences in the employment of embedded devices in unconventional application areas, so to show up new challenges in the system design/development process. In this setting, researchers, and practitioners from academia and industry get a chance to keep in touch with problems, open issues and future directions in the field of development of dedicated applications for embedded systems.
