Abstract

Application domains have had a considerable impact on the evolution of embedded systems, in terms of required methodologies and supporting tools and resulting technologies&#046; SoCs are slowly making inroads in to the area of industrial automation to implement complex field&#8211;area intelligent devices which integrate the intelligent sensor/actuator functionality by providing on&#8211;chip signal conversion, data processing, and communication functions&#046; There is a growing tendency to network field&#8211;area intelligent devices around industrial type of communication networks&#046; Similar trends appear in the automotive electronic systems where the Electronic Control Units (ECUs), typically implemented as heterogeneous system&#8211;on&#8211;chip, are networked by means of one of safety&#8211;critical communication protocols such as FlexRay, for instance, for the purpose of controlling one of vehicle functions; electronic engine control, ABS, active suspension, etc&#046; The design of this kind of networked embedded systems (this includes also hard real&#8211;time industrial control systems) is a challenge in itself due to the distributed nature of processing elements, sharing common communication medium, and safety&#8211;critical requirements, to mention some&#046;<br><b>Keywords:</b> Embedded Systems: Design and Validation of Embedded Systems; Real&#8211;Time Issues; Models of Embedded Computation; Design and Verification Languages; Operating Systems and Quasi&#8211;Static Scheduling; Timing and Performance Analysis; Power Aware Embedded Computing; Adaptive Embedded Systems; Security in Embedded Systems<br>System&#8211;on&#8211;Chip and Network&#8211;on&#8211;Chip Design & Testing: Design of Application&#8211;Specific Instruction&#8211;Set Processors; Design and Programming of Embedded Multiprocessors; SoC Communication and Architectures; NoC Communication and Architectures; Design of SoC/NoC; Platform&#8211;Based Design for Embedded Systems; Reconfigurable Platforms; Multiprocessor SoC Platforms and Tools; Testing of Embedded Core&#8211;based Integrated Circuits&#046;<br>Networked Embedded Systems: Design Issues for Networked Embedded; Middleware Design and Implementation for Networked Embedded Systems; Self Adaptive Networked Entity Sensor Networks: Architectures, Energy&#8211;Efficient Medium Access Control, Time Synchronization Issues, Distributed Localization Algorithms, Routing, Distributed Signal Processing, Security&#046;<br>Embedded Applications: Industrial Automation and Controls; Automotive Applications; Industrial Building Automation and Control; Power (sub&#8211;) Station Automation and Control; Intelligent Sensors, etc&#046; – design, maintenance, fault tolerance & dependability, networks, infrastructure, safety and security&#046;<br>
