WORKSHOP/TUTORIAL INFORMATION: The MICRO-35 symposium is currently taking Workshop/Tutorial proposals. Information on workshop/tutorial proposals can be found at the Micro-35 web site: MICRO-35 Call For Workshop/Tutorial Proposals Nov 18-19, 2002, Istanbul, Turkey -------------------------------------------- Due the popularity and success of the workshops/tutorials at last years MICRO, this year at MICRO-35 we are planning to expand from 1 day to 2 days of pre-conference workshops and tutorials. They will take place in Istanbul, Turkey on Monday and Tuesday, Nov 18 and 19, 2002 before the main conference on Nov 20-22, 2002. Last year, there were 5 workshops and 4 tutorials: o 4th ACM Workshop on Feedback Directed and Dynamic Optimization o 3rd Workshop on Media and Stream Processors o 5th Workshop on Multithreaded Execution, Architecture and Compilation o 4th Workshop on Workload Characterization o 1st Workshop on EPIC Compilers and Architectures o Tutorials on Liberty, SimpleScalar, Open Research Compiler for Itanium Processor Family, and Network Processing With the expansion to 2 days, we invite proposals from those interested in organizing a new tutorial or workshop to be held in conjunction with the conference. They may be either a half day or a full day. The range of interesting topics includes most areas of computer architecture, microarchitecture, and compilers, but use the MICRO-35 call for papers as a rough guide. While we are especially interested in complementing the existing workshops with new tutorials of interest to the MICRO community, we will also consider proposals for new workshops. Those who are interested in submitting a proposal, please send email to the workshop chair (Erik Altman, ealtman@us.ibm.com) and the tutorial chair (Evelyn Duesterwald, duester@hpl.hp.com). The proposal should include: o Title o Short description or abstract o List of organizers o Contact name, email address, and telephone number o Preferred length (half or full day) Submission deadline is June 14, 2002. Note that there is a limited amount of time/space and we hope to devise a broad program of interest to the MICRO community, so the number of accepted proposals will depend on these issues.

The themes of CASES and EMSOFT are complementary, and collectively cover all aspects of embedded system design. CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES Time-to-market has become a crucial objective to embedded system designers in the context of enabling technologies such as compilation, novel architectures, synthesis, reconfigurable hardware and others. In these contexts, much of the successful research so far has been performed in increasingly specialized research areas localized into ``communities'' working in vertically integrated fields. This working conference, the fifth in the CASES series, will provide a common forum for researchers from the computer engineering and science disciplines with an interest in embedded systems to reach across such vertically integrated communities and to promote potential synergies. As evident from the past CASES meetings, several of the emerging application areas are critically dependent on these interactions for their sustained growth and evolution. Application areas that embody application-specific embedded computing include set-top boxes, hand-held games, mobile and web appliances, advanced automotive systems, high-performance networking and others. For these areas to thrive, new technologies must address constraints on cost, code size, weight, power consumption and real-time response as well as performance. Concerns of time-to-market are a dominant but not exclusive theme of the conference. Technical papers espousing significant novel ideas and technical results are solicited. Conference topics include (but are not limited to) the following topics in four tracks: 1) Compilers and Operating Systems * New optimizing compilers for embedded-domain constraints. * Light-weight languages for temporal specification. * Compiler controlled memory hierarchy management and smart caches. * System-on-a-Chip architectures/compilers and embedded software including heterogeneous multiprocessor embedded systems. 2) Architecture * Novel architectures and micro-architectures. * Synergy between extant parallel computing technologies, such as notations for expressing concurrency, and instruction level parallel processing. * Reconfigurable or adaptive computing systems. 3) Tools and Methodologies * Automated design and synthesis of application- or domain- specific processors. * Application- or domain-specific embedded system designs * Research infrastructure development for embedded systems. 4) Applications * Emerging domains including micro-UAVs and textiles. * Wearable computing and/or mobile computing CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS * KEYNOTE LECTURES * John Rayfield, ARM Ltd. * Giovanni De Micheli, Stanford University INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS Please submit either one electronic copy of the paper in postscript format to the following email address, or FIVE hard copies to the program chair at the address given below. There is no page limit, but the paper must not exceed 4000 words in length. The proceedings will be published by ACM Press. All papers must be submitted in the ACM format as specified at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html Submission web site: http://tima.imag.fr/conferences/CASES2002 Inquiries about the submission process: ahmed.jerraya@imag.fr INFORMATION FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS Proposals are solicited for both embedded and half day tutotials. Embedded tutorial proposals should follow the same format as a regular paper. Half day tutorial proposals should not exceed 4 pages and should describe the topics to be covered as well as intended audience. Interested individuals are invited to submit proposals to the Tutorial Chair, X. Sharon Hu (shu@cse.nd.edu). The deadline is June 15, 2002. ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Steering Committee: Guang R.
