DSD’2005
8th EUROMICRO 
CONFERENCE ON
DIGITAL SYSTEM 
DESIGN
Architectures, Methods and 
Tools
URL: http://dsd2005.univ-rennes1.fr 
Call for Papers
The Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design 
(DSD) addresses all aspects of (embedded) digital and mixed 
hardware/software system engineering.
It is a discussion forum for researchers and engineers 
working on state-of-the-art investigations, development, and 
applications.
It focuses on advanced system, design, and design 
automation concepts, paradigms, methods and tools, as well as, modern 
implementation technologies that enable effective and efficient development of 
high-quality (embedded) systems for important and demanding applications in 
fields such as (wireless) communication and networking; measurement and 
instrumentation; health-care and medicine; military, space, avionic and 
automotive systems; security; multi-media and ambient 
intelligence.
The main areas of 
interest are the following:
T1: 
Systems-on-a-chip/in-a-package: generic system platforms and platform-based design; 
network on chip; multi-processors; system on re-configurable chip; system FPGAs 
and structured ASICs; rapid prototyping; asynchronous systems; power, energy, timing, predictability and 
other quality issues; intellectual property, virtual components and design 
reuse.
T2: Programmable/re-configurable 
architectures: processor, 
communication, memory and software architectures with focus on 
application specific and/or embedded computing, co-processors; processing 
arrays; programmable fabrics; embedded software; arithmetic, logic and 
special-operator units. 
T3: System, hardware and embedded software 
specification, modeling and validation: design languages; functional, structural and parametric 
specification and modeling; simulation, emulation, prototyping, and testing at 
the system, register-transfer, logic and physical levels; co-simulation and 
co-verification.
T4: System, hardware and embedded software 
synthesis: system, 
hardware/software and embedded software synthesis; behavioral, 
register-transfer, logic and physical circuit synthesis; multi-objective 
optimization observing power, performance, communication, interconnections, 
layout, technology, reliability, robustness, security, testability and other issues; (dynamic) management of computational resources, power, 
energy etc.; design environments 
for embedded systems and re-configurable computing.
T5: Emerging technologies, system paradigms 
and design methodologies: 
optical, bio, nano and quantum technologies and computing; self-organizing and 
self-adapting (wireless) systems; wireless sensor networks; ambient intelligence 
and augmented reality; ubiquitous, wearable and implanted systems; deep 
sub-micron design issues.
T6: Applications of (embedded) digital 
systems with emphasis on demanding and new applications in fields such 
as: (wireless) communication 
and networking; measurement and instrumentation; health-care and medicine; 
military, space, avionic and automotive systems; security; multi-media, 
instrumentation and ambient intelligence; health-care and medicine; military, 
space, avionic and automotive systems; security; multi-media and ambient 
intelligence.
Special Sessions:
Regular Papers: Submissions can be made that describe innovative work 
in the scope of the Conference, and especially, in any of the above main areas 
of interest (please indicate the topic area as: T1 or SS2 etc.). 
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts for review 
electronically trough the following web page (http://dsd2005.irisa.fr/confman/) or by sending the paper to the Program Chair 
via email dsd05-papers@listes.univ-rennes1.fr (only in 
the case of the web access problem) before the deadline for submission. Each 
manuscript should include the complete paper text, all illustrations, and 
references. The manuscript should conform to the required format single-spaced, 
double column, A4/US letter page size, 10-point size Times Roman font, up to 8 
pages. In order to conduct a blind review, no 
indication of the authors' names should appear in the submitted 
manuscript. A separate sheet should be added containing the paper title, 
topic area, the authors’ names and affiliations, and the contact author’s name, 
address and email address.
Case Study and Application 
Papers: Submissions can 
be made which report on state-of-the-art digital systems, design methods and/or 
tools, and (embedded) applications. Papers discussing lessons learned from 
practical experience, demanding or new applications, and experimental research 
are particularly encouraged. Manuscripts may be submitted in the same way as 
regular papers.
Tutorials:  Proposals for panel sessions, 
embedded tutorials are especially welcome. Please contact Program Chair.
The Program Committee will decide if papers 
will be accepted for a long presentation (30 minutes), short presentation (15 
minutes), or as a poster. For long and short presentations, 8 pages will be 
assigned in the published proceedings. A poster presentation will be assigned 4 
pages. Papers exceeding the page limit will be charged 50 Euro per page in 
excess. If the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must pre-register 
and pay the conference fee before the deadline for submitting the camera-ready 
paper. Otherwise the paper will not be published in the 
proceedings.
