Preliminary Call for Papers

3rd Workshop on High-performance and Real-Time Embedded Systems (HiRES 2015)

http://www.cister.isep.ipp.pt/hires2015

============================================================================

To be held in conjunction with the 10th International Conference on  
High-Performance and Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC 2015)


Goal of the Workshop
--------------------

Increasingly, time is a relevant concern which impacts in all  
application areas and challenges ahead. Real-time requirements can be  
found in applications ranging from large-scale data processing systems  
to deeply embedded devices. Examples include safety-critical systems  
with high-performance requirements, such as collision avoidance and  
autonomous driving in avionics and automotive respectively, in which  
the correct timing behaviour is of paramount importance; consumer  
systems, such as video processing in TV sets and games; or real-time  
complex event processing applications, such as online trading or  
real-time traffic management.

In all these applications, systems are expected to cope with an  
increasing demand of functional and non-functional requirements, with  
the corresponding increase in processing capabilities, paving the way  
for high-performance architectures, of which multi-core and many-core  
systems are becoming pervasive. The capabilities and challenges of  
parallelization as a means to provide higher performance is a  
cross-cutting concern.

This workshop intends to bring together researchers and engineers in  
the confluence of high-performance, embedded systems and real-time  
systems. The goal is to allow for fruitful discussions on the  
challenges and research directions that should be tackled by the  
community. Papers are invited to illustrate current and future work in  
the theory and practice of the design and engineering of  
high-performance real-time embedded systems for a variety of  
application domains.

This is the 3rd workshop in the series. Information on previous  
workshop can be found at:
- HiRES 2013: http://www.cister.isep.ipp.pt/hires2013/
- HiRES 2014: http://www.cister.isep.ipp.pt/hires2014/


Topics of interest
------------------

Topics of interest to this edition of the workshop include but are not  
limited to:

- Runtimes and operating systems combining high-performance and  
predictability requirements;

- Programming models and compiler support for providing real-time  
capabilities to multi- and many-core architectures;

- Models and tools for code generation, system verification and validation;

- Worst-case execution time analysis, parallel/dag-based task models,  
schedulability analysis of multi- and many-core systems;

- Heterogeneous multi-core embedded real-time architectures, many-core  
accelerators;

- Time-predictable multi- and many-core processor architectures;

- Time-aware energy-efficiency.


Paper submission
----------------

Submitted papers should use the LNCS format and should be 12 pages  
maximum. Submissions are handled through easychair at  
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hires2015.

HiRES goals are to allow for interaction and discussion on early  
results. Informal proceedings will be provided to the participants and  
online on the workshop website, but no formal publication will be  
provided.
