Abstract

SAMOS is a unique conference&#046; It deals with embedded systems (sort of) but that is not what makes it different&#046; It brings together every year researchers from both academia and industry on the quiet and inspiring northern mountainside of the Mediterranean island of Samos, which in itself is different&#046; But more importantly, it really fosters collaboration rather than competition&#046; Formal and intensive technical sessions are only held in the mornings&#046; A lively panel ends the formal part of the day, and leads nicely into the aFernoons and evenings &#8211;&#8211; reserved for informal discussions, good food, and the inviting Aegean Sea&#046; SAMOS has IEEE technical co&#8211;sponsorship by the IEEE CAS Society and the IEEE SSCS Germany Chapter&#046; The conference proceedings will be published in the IEEE Xplore Database&#046; Authors are invited to submit technical papers in accordance to the author&#8242;s instructions describing original work in either one of the Conference Tracks or one of the Special Sessions&#046;<br>APPLICATIONS, SYSTEMS, ARCHITECTURES, AND PROCESSORS:<br>This track focuses on advances in systems efficiency in various domains&#046; Novel micro&#8211;architectural techniques to improve vector, reconfigurable, multimedia, graphics, real&#8211;time, embedded, multithreading, SDR and low power processor architectures by exploiting novel parallel techniques, memory and cache organizations are welcomed&#046; Moreover this track presents advances in efficient application execution and system implementation technologies exploiting novel architectural and micro architectural techniques&#046; Topics of interest include (but<br>are not limited to):<br>&#8211; Novel Architectures and Micro&#8211;architectures for Embedded Systems;<br>&#8211; Application&#8211;specific and Domain&#8211;specific Embedded Systems;<br>&#8211; Embedded Reconfigurable Processors;<br>&#8211; Multimedia and Graphics Architectures and Processors;<br>&#8211; Embedded Hardware Architectures for Industrial Applications;<br>&#8211; Energy&#8211;Aware and Low&#8211;Power Processors;<br>&#8211; Embedded Parallel Systems and Multiprocessor Systems&#8211;On&#8211;Chip;<br>&#8211; Memory Management and Smart Caches;<br>&#8211; Network&#8211;on&#8211;Chip;<br>&#8211; Digital Signal Processors / SoFware Defined Radios&#046;<br>MODELING, DESIGN, AND DESIGN SPACE EXPLORATION:<br>This track focuses on all design processes for embedded systems: specification and modeling languages and simulation, hardware/soFware and system synthesis and compilation strategies; performance and power estimation and analysis; design and design space exploration methodologies&#046; Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):<br>&#8211; Hardware/SoFware and Algorithm/Architecture Co&#8211;design;<br>&#8211; Design Space ExploraDon Strategies, Algorithms and CAD Tools;<br>&#8211; Specification Languages and Models;<br>&#8211; System&#8211;Level Design, Simulation, and Verification;<br>&#8211; Hardware, SoFware and System Synthesis Techniques and CAD Tools;<br>&#8211; MP&#8211;SoC and Platform Based Design Methodologies;<br>&#8211; MP&#8211;SoC Programming, Compilers, Simulation and Mapping Technologies;<br>&#8211; Profiling, Measurement and Analysis Techniques and CAD Tools;<br>&#8211; (Design for) System Adaptivity;<br>&#8211; Testing and Debugging&#046;<br>
