(*) The organizing committee is closely monitoring the

situation with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Health

and safety are a primary concern to us and no unnecessary

risks will be imposed on authors.

*************************************************************

 

SAMOS is a unique conference. It deals with embedded systems

(sort of) but that is not what makes it different. It brings

together every year researchers from both academia and

industry on the quiet and inspiring coast of the Mediterranean

island of Samos, which in itself is different.

But more importantly, it really fosters collaboration rather

than competition. Formal and intensive technical sessions are

only held in the mornings. A lively panel or distinguished

keynote speaker ends the formal part of the day, and leads

nicely into the afternoons and evenings -- reserved for

informal discussions, good food, and the inviting Aegean Sea.

The conference papers will be published by Springer's Lecture

Notes in Computer Science - LNCS and will be included in the

DBLP Database. Authors are invited to submit technical papers

in accordance to the author's instructions describing original

work.

 

IMPORTANT DATES

TOPICS OF INTEREST

------------------

 

The SAMOS conference seeks paper contributions in two main areas:

 

1) Applications, Systems, Architectures, and Processors:

 

This topic area focuses on advances in systems efficiency in

various domains. We seek original contributions describing

new architectural and micro architectural techniques aiming

to improve performance (e.g. processing throughput or real-time

latency), energy and power efficiency, reliability and

dependability of embedded systems. We solicit novel architectures

and computing methodologies and solutions for accelerating

applications in various embedded domains such as next generation

life sciences and medicine, next generation automotive and avionics,

next generation (machine) learning systems for surveillance and

recognition, immersive virtual reality.

 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Novel Architectures for Accelerators in High Performance Embedded

  Systems;

- Application-specific and Domain-specific Embedded Heterogeneous

  Multicore Systems;

- Embedded Reconfigurable Processors;

- Software tools, Compilation techniques and optimizations, and

  Code generation for Reconfigurable Architectures;

- Architecture synthesis from Functional Languages Descriptions;

- Virtualization and Energy-aware Secure, Reliable, and High

  Availability Multi-core Architectures;

- Embedded Parallel Systems and Multiprocessor Systems-On-Chip;

- Application level Resource Management of Multi-core Architectures;

- Memory Systems and Management for big data;

- In-/near-memory processing;

- Approximate Computing;

- Network-on-Chip, Software Defined Network-on-Chips.

 

2) Modeling, Design, and Design Space Exploration:

 

This topic area focuses on all design processes for embedded systems

ranging from system-level specification, design languages, modeling

and simulation, performance, power, reliability and thermal estimation

and analysis, hardware/software and system synthesis, design and design

space exploration methodologies down to hardware and software synthesis

and compilation strategies.

 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Hardware/Software and Algorithm/Architecture Co-design;

- Design Space Exploration Strategies, Algorithms and CAD Tools;

- Specification Languages and Models;

- System-Level Design, Simulation, and Verification;

- Hardware, Software and System Synthesis Techniques and CAD Tools;

- MP-SoC and Platform Based Design Methodologies;

- MP-SoC Programming, Compilers, Simulation and Mapping Technologies;

- Profiling, Measurement and Analysis Techniques and CAD Tools;

- (Design for) System Adaptivity;

- Testing and Debugging.

 

 

SPECIAL SESSION ON NEGATIVE RESULTS

-----------------------------------

 

Like in previous editions, SAMOS XXII will again organize a special session

dedicated to the presentation of ideas that lead to negative results.

Contributions are expected to present the original idea, to explain why this

idea was expected to provide good results, to present how and why it failed,

and to discuss the presence (or absence) of solutions to solve encountered issues

 

 

JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE

---------------------

 

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended

version of their work to contribute to a special issue of the Journal of

Parallel Programming (IJPP).
