SESSION CO-CHAIRS: E. Grosspietsch, K. Kloeckner
The 34th EUROMICRO Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications
and
the 11th EUROMICRO Conference on Digital Systems Design
are organizing a common Special Session to present WORK in PROGRESS aimed to
authors that have not yet attained final and complete results in their
research.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)
Digital Systems Design:
- Processor and memory architectures:
arithmetic and logic units; co-processors; pipelining; superscalar
processors; cache memories; memory management units; low-power issues
- Special architectures: DSP; graphics and
image processors; custom computing machines; processing arrays; FPGAs;
reconfigurable computing structures
- Specification and modelling:
(hardware/software) specification and modelling; system and hardware
design languages; component modelling; power and timing issues
- Validation: simulation; emulation;
prototyping and testing at the system, register-transfer and logic levels;
multilevel simulation; hardware/software co-simulation; hardware/software
co-verification
- Synthesis: system, hardware/software,
behavioural, register/transfer, and logic synthesis; design for low power,
speed, and testability; system, hardware/software, and logic partitioning;
design of asynchronous systems
- System-on-chip: platform-based design;
megacell compilation; deep sub-micron design issues; signal integrity;
technology aware high-level design tools; intellectual property; design
reuse
Multimedia and Telecommunications:
- Multimedia systems: Operating systems,
protocols, QoS support, real-time systems, databases, servers, personal
appliances
- Multimedia processing and coding: Hardware
for coding and processing, compression, content analysis, content-based
retrieval, audio/image/video processing, animation, virtual reality,
presentation control
- Telecommunications: Issues with special
emphasis on multimedia support such as: mobility, security, network
management, capacity planning, architectures, middleware, web computing
services guarantees, charging and pricing, legal aspects
- Web computing: Cooperative information
systems, specification and implementation of groupware systems, groupware
and workflow, designing and implementing collaborative applications,
building collaborative applications with JAVA, virtual communities,
- Tools and applications: applications in
consumer electronics, internet services provision, entertainment,
education, health care, biomedicine, telemedicine, manufacturing, command
and control, etc.
Software Process and Product Improvement:
- Software process assessment and improvement
- Organisational and business views to process improvement
- Quantitative models for development
processes and products
- Distributed software development and
virtual organisations
- Process and product improvement for
e-business application engineering
- Use and usefulness of quality standards
for software products and processes
- Approaches for modelling and enacting
software processes
- Lightweight and flexible
approaches
- Processes for component-based software
development
- Verification and validation of software
products
- Approaches improving dependability of
software systems
- Industry best practice experiences and
case studies in above areas
Component-based Software Engineering:
- Component Models
- Marketing Issues
- Component Specification
- Component Certification
- Components and Frameworks
- COTS (Commercial off the shelf)
- Components and Reuse
- Component Development Processes
- Component-based Architecture
- Deployment and Adaptation

Submission of papers: authors intending to participate in the session
should submit an extended abstract (maximum 2 pages, MS Word or PDF file) about
their work to both Session Co-Chairs,
