                      Call for Papers: ESTIMedia 2008
     6th IEEE Workshop on Embedded Systems for Real-Time Multimedia
                 October 23-24, 2008, Atlanta, Georgia
IEEE ESTIMedia '08 is organized as part of the Embedded Systems Week 2008
            http://www.science.uva.nl/events/ESTIMedia08/
=========================================================================

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 sixth 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.

A special issue of Springer's Journal of Signal Processing Systems with
the best papers from ESTIMedia '07 will appear this year and a similar
journal special issue is planned for ESTIMedia '08.

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 (SoCs, NoCs, Game applications, etc.)
- 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 Petru Eles (petel@xxxxxxxxxx) and Andy D. Pimentel
(andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
