CALL FOR POSTERS

First Workshop on Resource Awareness and Application Autotuning
in Adaptive and Heterogeneous Computing (ReS4AnT)

http://www.date-conference.com/conference/workshop-w08
res4ant.deib.polimi.it

Co-located with the
Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE)
March 18, 2016, Dresden, Germany

=================================================================

Adaptive and heterogeneous computing platforms are gaining
interest for applications spanning from embedded to high
performance computing due to their promising power/performance
ratio. However, sharing hardware resources creates some
challenges with respect to predictable execution time and
power consumption. In traditional real-time approaches,
resource usage is over dimensioned to achieve worst case
guarantees, whereas in best effort approaches, predictability
remains a challenge. The goal of the workshop is to bring
together researchers from the area of resource awareness and
application autotuning, to discuss their various approaches,
their commonalities and differences, to foster collaboration
between them and to share their most recent research
achievements with the international research community.

TOPIC AREAS
– Architectures: on architectural mechanism for adaptive
and heterogeneous computing.
– Resource awareness: on resource management and awareness
for parallel computing.
– Autotuning:  on application autotuning mechanisms for
parallel computing.
– Applications: on the analysis, development, modification
and integration of applications in the embedded and high
performance computing domains.

14th IEEE CONFERENCE on INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS INDIN’16

18-21 JULY 2016, FUTUROSCOPE-POITIERS, FRANCE

Special Session on “Automotive Communications”

Organized by:
Lucia Lo Bello, University of Catania, Italy, lobello@unict.it
Unmesh Dutta Bordoloi, General Motors, Germany, unmesh.bordoloi@gm.com

Call for Papers

Theme:
The focus of automotive industry is moving from cars that provide various levels of driver assist functions towards fully automated driving. New functionalities that are expected in automated driving impose new demand on the in-vehicle communication infrastructure. These requirements include flexibility, connectivity to cloud, safety, and security apart from high bandwidth.  Not only these requirements are sometimes conflicting, but they must be realized at low-costs as well. In this arena, automotive Ethernet is  going  to  play  a  major  role,  thus  representing  a  significant  paradigm  shift  in automotive  networking. CAN FD is an emerging choice in certain sub-systems in low cost solutions. This Special Session seeks papers describing original research or application aspects or case studies in this area.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

•Automotive Ethernet
•Audio Video Bridging
•Performance assessment of automotive network technologies
•Timing analysis of in-car communication protocols
•Secure automotive communications
•Fault-tolerance and reliability issues in automotive communications
•Techniques for bandwidth optimization or jitter reduction for in-car networks
•Intra and inter-vehicular communications

All submitted papers will undergo a peer-review and accepted papers will be published in IEEE proceedings.

Selected high quality papers will be considered for journal publication.

Submission procedure, deadlines, and author instructions: as in the Conference website.

Deadline for Paper Submission – February 15, 2016

Notification of acceptance – April 15, 2016

Final manuscripts deadline – May 15, 2016

The 22nd IEEE Rea​l-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS 2016) will be held in Vienna, Austria, as part of the Cyber-Physical Systems Week (CPSWeek) in April 2016. The conference includes a Work in Progress (WiP) and Demo session intended for presentation of recent and on-going work, as well as for demonstrations of tools and technology that have the potential to be used in the design and development of real-time systems. In keeping with the spirit of the main symposium, we invite submissions of WiP papers and demos with an emphasis on system and application aspects. Authors of accepted WiP/demo papers are expected to give a brief presentation to the RTAS’16 audience followed by a poster/demo presentation at the reception held on April 12, 2016.

Web site: http://2016.rtas.org/

WORK IN PROGRESS SESSION

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
—————————————-

This year, every author is required to submit two separate documents:

1. An abstract that will appear in the main proceedings. These abstracts must include a conventional header with the title of the WiP/demo paper and the names and affiliations of the authors. The header must be followed by approximately 300 words (i.e. about half a page) that summarize in one or two paragraphs the research context and the specificity of the solution that will be presented/demonstrated. To avoid doubling up the references and skewing the citation count, it is extremely important to note that these abstracts must *not* contain references nor acknowledgments! All references and acknowledgements will be removed from the document before its publication in the main proceedings.

2. A short paper that will be made available online and at the conference.

– WiP papers should consist of 2 to 4 pages in the IEEE 10-point, two-column conference format, including all references and appendices. The submitted paper must be original material that has neither been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal, and will not be submitted elsewhere before notification by RTAS 2016. Submissions will be refereed for quality and relevance. Submissions that fail to comply with the formatting requirements will not be reviewed.

– Demo papers should adhere to the IEEE 10-point, two-column conference format, and be 1 to 2 pages long, including all references and appendices. They should repeat and extend the information provided in the abstract. In addition, they must clearly describe what will be demonstrated and how the contributions will be illustrated interactively. If a demonstration requires special arrangements (in addition to a table, power, and wireless connectivity), please describe them clearly in the paper. Submissions will be evaluated based on technical merit and innovation as well as the potential to stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas at the conference.

Abstracts and short papers must be submitted electronically in PDF.

By submitting a paper, the authors agree and confirm that, in case of acceptance, at least one author will register for the conference and present the WiP/demo in person. Instructions for preparing the final version of accepted WiP/demo papers and their presentation will be sent along with the notification.
