COMPUTING, SOFTWARE, INTEGRATING THE DISTRIBUTED WORLDS

1st IEEE International Workshop on Industrial Experience in Embedded Systems Design (IEESD 2008)

THEME OF THE WORKSHOP

The ongoing embedded revolution had actively influenced industrial activities. Automation, distribution, ubiquity are only a few of the modern concerns both in industrial environments, as well as from a user's perspective. There is a strong trend on increasing the level of interoperability, coupling with enterprise applications, multi-domain software design, and of applying hardware/software co-design techniques. Application of new information and communication technologies, validation, protocol definition, horizontal and vertical integration may provide promising and innovative solutions, but also pose significant challenges that need to be addressed.

The aim of IEESD is to promote current practices and solutions in embedded systems design viewed from an industrial perspective. Papers are expected to cover (non-restrictively) one or more of the following topics:

• Wireless communication protocols and their application in industry
• Applications of advanced embedded solutions in industrial automation
• Coupling of devices and enterprise applications
• Programming languages and frameworks
• Architectures, execution models and runtime platforms
• Model-based embedded development
• Software methods and tools
• System validation

LIKELY PARTICIPANTS

Researchers and practitioners in the area of embedded system design, favoring expansion of wireless communication, software development techniques, enterprise applications, and automation.
