SAMOS is a premier and well-established conference on embedded systems
organized annually since 2001. The conference brings together
researchers from academia and industry on the quiet and inspiring
northern mountainside of the Mediterranean island of Samos. It provides
an environment where collaboration rather than competition is fostered.
The conference considers new state-of-the-art mature research papers on
all aspects of embedded processor hardware/software design and
integration. SAMOS X has IEEE technical co-sponsorship (also by the IEEE
CAS Society and the IEEE SSCS Germany Chapter) and the conference
proceedings will be published in the IEEE Xplore. Authors are invited to
submit technical papers in accordance to the author's instructions
describing original work in one of the following tracks:
 
** The Applications, Systems, Architectures, and Processors Track **
focuses on issues related to the efficient execution of code
across many platform domains. Architectures for Instruction Set
Processors including Low Power, Vector, Reconfigurable, Multimedia,
Graphics, Real-time, Embedded, Multithreading, and SDR are targeted.
Contributions are welcome on new microarchitectural techniques to
improve performance and efficiency including parallel execution, memory
hierarchies, cache design. Moreover this Track covers efficient
execution of Applications and System implementations using novel
architectural and microarchitectural techniques. Topics of Interest
include (but are not limited to):
      * Novel Architectures and Micro-architectures for Embedded
        Systems
      * Application-specific and Domain-specific Embedded Systems
      * Embedded Reconfigurable Processors
      * Multimedia and Graphics Architectures and Processors
      * Energy-Aware and Low-Power Processors
      * Embedded Parallel Systems and Multiprocessor Systems-On-Chip
      * Memory Management and Smart Caches
      * Network-on-Chip Interconnects
      * Digital Signal Processors
      * Software Defined Radios
 
** The Modeling, Design, and Design Space Exploration Track **
focuses on all aspects related to the design process of embedded
systems: specification, modeling and simulation approaches, design
methodologies, programming, synthesis and compilation techniques,
performance and power analysis, and design space exploration. Topics of
Interest include (but are not limited to):
      * Hardware/Software Co-design
      * Design Space Exploration
      * System-Level Design, Simulation, and Verification
      * Design, Specification and Synthesis of Embedded Systems
      * Compilers and Mapping Technologies
      * Specification Languages and Models
      * Processor Simulation Technologies
      * MP-SoC Design Methodologies
      * Programming and programming models for MP-SoCs
      * Profiling, Measurement and Analysis Techniques for Embedded
        Systems
      * Computer Aided Design
      * (Design for) System Adaptivity
      * Testing and Debugging
