The fourth edition of Embedded Systems Week takes place this October in
Atlanta, Georgia, USA.  It brings together three major conferences on 
embedded systems design:

   CASES      - International Conference on Compilers, Architecture and
                Synthesis for Embedded Systems, www.casesconference.org

   CODES+ISSS - International Conference on Hardware/Software Codesign
                and System Synthesis, www.codes-isss.org

   EMSOFT     - International Conference on Embedded Software,
                www.emsoft.org

This year ESWEEK and EMSOFT are honored to host the ACM Turing Award
Lecture of the 2007 winners:


  Edmund M. Clarke

  Allen E. Emerson

  Joseph Sifakis



The session chair will be the 1996 Turing Award winner Amir Pnueli.



ESWEEK is uniquely positioned to offer outstanding technical content for

attendees in the areas of embedded systems design, tools, software,

architecture and compilers. The combined program of the three conferences

will offer 4 tutorials, 3 plenary keynotes, 2 special sessions, 2 panels
and over 100 technical papers. In addition, ESWEEK will host 6 workshops
on dedicated topics.


One conference registration covers all three conferences: registered
attendees to CASES, CODES+ISSS, or EMSOFT will be allowed to attend
sessions of the other conferences as well for free! Tutorials are also
free with conference registration!

For the first time this year, similar to conference registration,
workshop registration covers all six workshops: registered attendees to
any workshop will be allowed to attend sessions of the other workshops
as well for free!
