International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN)

15-17 February 2016, Graz, Austria

Call for Posters and Demos

The International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks
(EWSN) is a highly selective single-track international conference
focusing on premier research results at the intersection of embedded
systems and wireless networking.

Along with full research papers, EWSN solicits submissions of poster
and demo abstracts whose contribution will be publicly presented
during the conference. The poster session at EWSN will provide a forum
for researchers to present their work in progress and to receive
feedback from experts attending the conference. In parallel to the
poster session, the demo session will offer a unique opportunity to
showcase real prototypes, tools, and systems to the conference
attendees.

The areas of interest for both poster and demo abstracts are the same
as for full research papers. Please refer to
www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016 more details.

Submission:

Demo and poster abstracts must not exceed 2 pages. Titles should start
with “Poster: …” or “Demo: …” depending on the case. Pages must
have 8.5″ x 11″ (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on
11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7″ wide x 9″ deep with
an intercolumn spacing of .25″. The page limits include figures,
tables, and references. Submissions may not be anonymous.

A LaTex template is available at www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016 under
Calls -> Posters & Demos. At the same page, you find a link where
to perform the actual submission. As we particularly welcome
contributions from students, the submission system offers an option
to explicitly signal whether the main author is a student.

Both poster and demo abstracts may optionally complement the
submission with a video of at most 2 minutes that
further illustrates the work at hand. If the abstract is accepted, the
video will be made available directly from the conference website.

Poster and demo abstracts will be reviewed by at least three members
of the poster/demo committee to ensure quality and matching to the
goals of the poster/demo session as well as to the conference’s
topics. Accepted poster and demo abstracts will be included in
the conference proceedings that appear in the ACM Digital Library.

Presentation at the conference:

In addition to space given to every accepted abstract during the
poster/demo session, one author of the abstract will be given a slot
in a further “1-minute madness” session within the main program. In
this session, authors will have the opportunity to describe their work
to the entire conference audience with a single slide and a 1-minute
speech. Attendees will be given an online link where to cast a vote
for what they think was the best 1-minute poster or demo teaser. Best
poster and demo awards will be decided based on the outcome of the
vote.

ACM ToDAES special section – Call for Papers
IDEA: Integrating Dataflow, Embedded computing, and Architecture

Special Section Guest Editors:
Twan Basten (Eindhoven University of Technology), Orlando Moreira (Intel), Robert de Groote (Twente University)
contact: acm.todaes.idea@gmail.com

Important Dates:
– January 8, 2016 – Paper submission deadline

Scope:
The dataflow model of computation (with SDF, CSDF, and DDF as primary representatives) offers a powerful perspective on parallel computations that may be conditioned in terms of data dependencies. It dates back to the nineteen sixties and has applications in the design of real-time stream-processing systems, especially in the area of digital signal processing. The dataflow model of computation fits the characteristics of embedded and cyber-physical systems, with a strong emphasis on both the functional and temporal aspects of data processing systems. Dataflow is gaining renewed popularity, stimulated by the trend towards multi-core and multi-processor architectures, with an influx of work ranging from using dataflow as a programming paradigm, for performance analysis, or for design optimization. Topics of interest for the special section include, but are not limited to:

• Dataflow architectures and dataflow as a programming paradigm for multi-core and multi-processor systems, for embedded systems and for cyber-physical systems.
• Tools for compilation, evaluation, optimization or synthesis of applications for heterogeneous and homogeneous multi-processor systems.
• Real-time scheduling, analysis, response time modeling, schedule synthesis. Variants of the dataflow model of computation, capturing e.g. dynamic execution behavior, stochastic dataflow.
• Dataflow theory, relations between dataflow and other models of computation, relations between dataflow variants.
• Dataflow in multi-disciplinary design, applications of dataflow in control, integrating dataflow and control theory.
• Case studies of general interest describing the application of dataflow in embedded computing and cyber-physical systems, ranging from automotive systems, and avionics, to high-tech systems, smart buildings and smart grids.

Submission Guidelines:
Submissions should follow the usual ToDAES guidelines. Submissions go through https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/todaes. When asked “Is this manuscript a candidate for a special issue?”, mark “Yes” to ensure that the paper is allocated to the guest editors of the special section.

IDEA 2016 workshop @ CPS week:
To further stimulate discussion in the dataflow community, we are organizing a workshop at CPS week in Vienna, April 11, 2016. Authors of papers submitted to the IDEA ToDAES special section that successfully pass the first round of reviews are invited to present their work at the workshop. Participation in the workshop will increase the visibility of the presented work and increase quality through the discussion at the workshop. See http://caes.ewi.utwente.nl/idea2016 for more information about the workshop, including information on how to express interest to present the submitted work. Presentation and discussion at the workshop is optional and will not in any way influence acceptance for the special section.
