MEMOCODE 2010 Call for Papers

The eighth ACM-IEEE International Conference on Formal Methods and
Models for Codesign (MEMOCODE 2010) will be held
on July 26-28, 2010 in Grenoble, France.

----------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT DATES:

Abstract submission deadline: February 26, 2010
Paper submission deadline: March 5, 2010
Notification of acceptance: April 30, 2010
Poster submission deadline: May 14, 2010
Notification for Posters: May 28, 2010
Final Version for Papers: May 28, 2010

----------------------------------------------------

The eighth MEMOCODE conference will attract researchers and
practitioners who create methods, tools, and architectures for the
design of hardware/software systems. These systems face increasing
design complexity including tighter constraints on timing, power, costs,
and reliability. MEMOCODE seeks submissions that present novel formal
methods and design techniques addressing these issues to create, refine,
and verify hardware/software systems. We also invite
application-oriented papers, and especially encourage submissions that
highlight the design perspective of formal methods and models, including
success stories and demonstrations of hardware/software codesign.
Furthermore, we invite poster presentations describing ongoing work with
promising preliminary results.

Topics of interest for regular submissions include but are not limited to
- system- and transaction-level modeling and verification, abstraction
  and refinement between different modeling levels, formal, semi-formal,
  and specification-driven verification,
- design and verification methods for composition of concurrent systems:
  multi-core platform architectures, systems-on-chip, networks-on-chip,
- formal methods and tools for hardware and software verification
  including theorem proving, decision procedures,
- non-traditional and domain-specific design languages for hardware and
  software, novel models of computation, and new design paradigms that
  unify hardware and software design,
- system-level estimation of performance and power in heterogeneous
  hardware/software architectures,
- applications and demonstrators of formal design methodologies and case
  studies of innovative system-level design flows, and
- modeling and reuse of intellectual property at system-level.

PROCEEDINGS:

Conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.

SUBMISSION:

Submissions of research and experience papers will only be accepted
through the conference web site. Papers must not exceed 10 pages and
must be formatted following IEEE Computer Society guidelines.
Submissions must be written in English, describe original work, and not
substantially overlap papers that have been published or are being
submitted to a journal or another conference with published proceedings.
Poster submissions should consist of an abstract of at most 250 words.
The abstract will be distributed to the conference attendants but will
not be published. Note that the poster deadline is different from the
paper deadline.

DESIGN CONTEST:

MEMOCODE will again have a design contest. The contest will start March
1, 2010. The deadline for submission is 31 March 2010 and the
notification of the results is on May 14, 2010. The conference will
sponsor at least two prize categories, each with a significant cash
award. We awarded a $1000 prize in each of the two categories in 2009.
Each team that submits a complete and working entry will be invited to
submit for review a 2-page abstract for the formal conference
proceedings; winning teams will be invited to contribute a 4-page short
paper. Each team submitting a completed and working entry will also
receive a commemorative plaque with their name and results. Please refer
to the website for more information and updates.

TUTORIALS:

MEMOCODE will feature tutorials related to hardware/software codesign.
Please send your tutorial proposals to ala...@in....

SPONSORS:
IEEE CEDA, IEEE CAS, ACM SIGBED, ACM SIGDA

Memocode 2010 is also supported by ArtistDesign NoE, University
Joseph Fourier Grenoble, CRI PILSI, CNRS, INRIA, and CEA LETI.
