[Jens Knoop]

Final Call for Papers: 
======================

*****************************************************************
5th Workshop on Optimizations for DSP and Embedded Systems (ODES)
***************************************************************** 

http://www.ece.vill.edu/~deepu/odes/odes.html

March 11, 2007
==============

San Jose, CA
in conjunction with IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Code Generation
and Optimization (CGO) http://www.cgo.org/ 
  
New Submission deadline: January 19, 2007 (1 week extension!)
=========================================
 
Call for papers
===============

The performance requirements of digital signal processing and embedded
applications are rapidly increasing, but the power and cost budgets are
decreasing. Optimization plays a very important role in managing the
conflicting demands. The focus of this workshop is similar to its
predecessors - understand the various optimization strategies applicable
to the design of DSP and embedded systems for performance,power, and
cost. 


Topics of Interest
==================

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  Algorithmic transformations and code/software optimization
  Hardware and software optimizations for low-power consumption 
     and/or code density
  Coprocessor and hardware accelerators
  Compiler techniques and code generation for media processing
  Frameworks for profiling and scheduling tasks (multiple/concurrent)
     on various hardware resources (single-core + hardware 
     accelerators, dual-core, system-on-a-chip, etc)
  Hardware/software tradeoffs with ASICs, FPGA's, DSPs, 
     general-purpose processors, microcontrollers, etc as building 
     blocks
  Retargetable compilers and reconfigurable architectures 

Important dates and deadlines
=============================

  Submission: January 19, 2007
  Acceptance: February 22, 2007
  Final version: March 2, 2007 

Submission guidelines
=====================

To encourage participation from both academia and industry, we are
requesting submissions in either of two formats: 

  A full paper, not exceeding 10 pages in length, two-column formatting
  preferred. It is expected that an accepted submission of this type
  will result in a final paper appearing in the workshop's proceedings 

  OR

  A set of slides, along with a brief description (1-2 pages) of the
  main theme of the talk. It is expected that an accepted submission of
  this type will result in a talk abstract and a set of slides
  appearing in the workshop's proceedings 

Include the list of authors and their affiliations, addresses, telephone
and fax numbers, email addresses and the name of the corresponding
author. Please send the submission/s by the deadline to: 

Deepu Talla and Tom Vander Aa via email at deepu at ti.com and
