2nd Workshop on Embedded Systems for Real-Time Multimedia

NEW for this Year: Estimedia Proceedings will be published by IEEE (ISBN: 0-7803-8631-0)

September 6-7th, 2004, Stockholm, Sweden

Instructions for Presenters

Workshop organized under IEEE/ACM CODES-ISSS 2004 Conference

Call for papers
Stockholm
 Embedded multimedia systems represent an important segment of today’s electronic industry. While there has been a notable growth in the use and application of these systems, the design process has become a remarkably difficult problem due to the increasing design complexity and shortening time-to-market. Also, mixed hardware/software solutions are increasingly common in multimedia systems so the separation between the hardware engineers and software developers is simply disappearing. This workshop is meant to bring together people from different multimedia-related research communities who have worked separately yet not sufficiently interacted: software, architectures, circuits, real-time, DSP, compilers, multimedia applications, etc. After a very successful debut in 2003, we hope that this second edition will represent a real opportunity for specialists from academia and industry to contribute to defining the design methodologies of future multimedia systems.

Twilight Topics of Interest
•    Specification, modeling, optimization 
•    Low-power design methodologies and design experiences
•    Validation and verification
•    Embedded multimedia architectures
•    Multimedia processors and reconfigurable architectures
•    Software optimization and compiler techniques
•    Emerging trends (Systems-on-Chip, Networks-on-Chip)
•    Timing aspects of media streams
•    Scheduling of media processing
•    Resource and QoS management methods
•    Temporal estimation and protection of media streams
•    Real-time kernels, OS and middleware support


Program
The program of the workshop will include several regular sessions based on contributed papers and posters.  Leading specialists will also be invited by the Program Committee to deliver invited talks.  Copies of the workshop proceedings will be handed out to workshop participants.  Authors of the accepted papers will need to sign the copyright form from IEEE.  Selected papers will also be considered for journal publication in a special issue.
