CONFERENCE ORGANIZATION

We are pleased to announce that CASES 2002 is co-located in Grenoble
with EMSOFT (http://www-emsoft02.imag.fr/), the International Workshop
on Embedded Software.  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
