                             Call for Papers
              International Conference on Embedded Software
             October 11 – October 16, 2020, Shanghai, China
=========================================================================

The ACM SIGBED International Conference on Embedded Software (EMSOFT)
brings together researchers and developers from academia, industry, and
government to advance the science, engineering, and technology of
embedded software development. Since 2001, EMSOFT has been the premier
venue for cutting-edge research in the design and analysis of software
that interacts with physical processes, with a long- standing tradition
for results on cyber-physical systems, which compose computation,
networking, and physical dynamics.

Topics of Interests / Tracks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions are invited on all aspects of embedded software systems,
including but not limited to:
• Embedded software design and analysis
• Formal modeling and verification
• Testing, validation, and certification
• Model- and component-based approaches
• Embedded operating systems and middleware
• Embedded distributed, networked systems
• Embedded software on multi- and many-core processors
• Safety-critical and mixed-critical embedded software design
• Time-critical embedded systems
• Scheduling, resource allocation, and execution time analysis
• QoS management and performance analysis
• Energy-efficient embedded software
• Embedded software security
• Embedded software architectures for data-intensive applications and
  signal processing
• Software design for cyber-physical systems
• Robust implementation of control systems
• Hardware and software design for safe autonomy
• Empirical studies and their reproduction
• Application areas including automotive, avionics, energy, health care,
  mobile devices, multimedia, machine learning, and autonomous systems

A special day focusing on the Trustworthy Internet of Things (Trustworthy
IoT) will be organized jointly by all conferences in ESWEEK. Papers
aligned to the topics of interest for EMSOFT, focusing on trust,
security, and privacy for the Internet of Things with an emphasis on
software are encouraged.

Papers should represent original work, not formerly published or
submitted for publication in other forums. A blind review process will
be enforced. Authors should not reveal authorship directly or indirectly
through references.

EMSOFT will follow a two-stage review process, where papers passing the
first stage of reviews will be asked to revise their work based on
reviewer comments within a short time frame of around two weeks. Accepted
papers will participate in the direct journal publication track and
appear in IEEE TCAD (see below).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paper Process
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMSOFT 2020 has a dual publication model where papers will be published
in two tracks: Journal track papers will be published in the IEEE
Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems
(TCAD) and Work-in-Progress track papers will be published in the ESWEEK
Proceedings. More details at http://www.esweek.org/author-information.
