Call for Papers 2005 MAPLD International Conference Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center Washington, D.C. September 7-9, 2005 Abstracts Due: April 25, 2005. Late papers will be accepted for the Poster and "Birds of a Feather" Workshop sessions only. The 8th annual Military and Aerospace Programmable Logid Device (MAPLD) International Conference will present papers on programmable logic devices and technologies, digital engineering, and related fields, for military and aerospace applications. Devices, technologies, logic design, verification, flight applications, fault tolerance, reliability, radiation susceptibility, and encryption applications of programmable devices, processors, and adaptive computing systems in military and aerospace systems are topics for papers. For 2005, MAPLD will be expanded to 3 full days and will feature expanded "Birds of a Feather" Workshop Sessions. Full-day seminars will be offered on September 6, 2005. We are planning an exciting program with presentations by Government, industry, academia, and consultants, including talks by distinguished Invited Speakers. This conference is open to US and foreign participation and is unclassified. For related information, please see the NASA Office of Logic Design Web Site (http://klabs.org).

Katz NASA Office of Logic Design mapld2005@klabs.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAMOS V is the fifth meeting of the Embedded Computer Systems: Architectures, MOdeling, and Simulation series. The main focus is on the state-of-the art techniques in the design of embedded systems, including mapping techniques and synthesis, processors design and implementation, architectures, systems on a chip, modeling issues such as specification languages, formal models, and finally simulation, and hardware/software co-design. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * Embedded System Level Design and Simulation * Multimedia, Graphics, and Signal Processors * Hardware/Software Co-design * Design Space Exploration * Reconfigurable Processors * Energy-Aware Processors * Embedded System Simulation * Application Specifications and Modeling for Embedded Systems * Compiler and Mapping Technologies * Embedded Processors and Architectures * Applications of Embedded Computing Systems * System and Network-on-Chip Platforms The SAMOS workshops have established a tradition of not only presenting new results but also bringing to the audience open challenging problems and on-the-stage requests for suggestions for solutions. In addition to considering only new innovative research, submissions of works in progress, positional, and review of the state of the art papers are also encouraged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors information ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submission instructions: The authors are invited to submit a paper in PDF format of maximum 10 pages in LNCS format.
