               Call for Papers: ESTIMedia 2007
5th IEEE Workshop on Embedded Systems for Real-Time Multimedia
             October 4-5, 2007, Salzburg, Austria
     Workshop organized under CODES+ISSS 2007 Conference
            http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/estimedia07/

Today, the design process for high-end multimedia systems has become a
crucial bottleneck due to the increasing complexity of both, the
software and the underlying hardware, coupled with shortened
time-to-market pressures. While there has been a notable growth in the
use and applications of multimedia systems and in the evolution of
system-on-chip design technology, there are still enormous opportunities
for improving design productivity in this domain. Given this backdrop,
the aim of this workshop is to bring together people from different
multimedia-related research communities (e.g, software, architectures,
real-time systems, DSP, compilers, multimedia applications) who have
worked separately, but did not interact sufficiently to address the
challenges facing the design of hardware and software for multimedia
systems.

After a very successful debut in 2003, consolidated in successive years,
we hope that this fifth edition will present a good opportunity for
specialists from academia and industry to contribute to this exciting
research area. The program will bring together original work from both,
academic and industrial research and development. As in the previous
editions, papers will be accepted for 30-min oral presentation followed
by interactive poster sessions.

All accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings to be
published by the IEEE.

Areas of Interest (but not restricted to)
-----------------------------------------
- Specification and modeling of multimedia systems
- Multimedia systems design methodologies and case studies
- Circuits and architectures for embedded multimedia architectures
- Multimedia processors and reconfigurable architectures
- Emerging trends (Systems-on-Chip, Networks-on-Chip, Game applications
- Validation and verification
- Software optimization and compiler techniques
- 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

Paper Submission Guidelines
---------------------------
Both research and application-oriented papers are welcome. Research
papers should describe original research, such as new ideas, promising
approaches and experiences with practical systems. Application-oriented
papers should describe interesting technical aspects of real-life
applications, prototypes, experiences, and standards. All papers should
be submitted electronically via the workshop webpage. Papers must be in
PDF format and should include (1) title, (2) authors and affiliation,
(3) e-mail address of the contact author. Submissions must be limited to
6 pages, single-spaced, double-column IEEE format with 10-point fonts.
Papers deviating significantly from these paper size and font
constraints may be rejected without review. All submitted papers should
have original content that has not been previously published in other
conferences or journals.

Any questions regarding the submission process may be directed to the
TPC Co-Chairs Samarjit Chakraborty (samarjit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) and Petru
Eles (petel@xxxxxxxxxx).
