[SCOPES]

The Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design (DSD) addresses all
aspects of (embedded) digital and mixed hardware/software system
engineering.
It is a discussion forum for researchers and engineers working on
state-of-the-art investigations, development, and applications.
It focuses on advanced system, design, and design automation concepts,
paradigms, methods and tools, as well as, modern implementation technologies
that enable effective and efficient development of high-quality (embedded)
systems for important and demanding applications in fields such as
(wireless) communication and networking; measurement and instrumentation;
health-care and medicine; military, space, avionic and automotive systems;
security; multi-media and ambient intelligence.

platform-based design; network on chip; multi-processors; system on
re-configurable chip; system FPGAs and structured ASICs; rapid prototyping;
asynchronous systems; power, energy, timing, predictability and other
quality issues; intellectual property, virtual components and design reuse.

[SPECIAL SESSIONS]

SS1:   Fault Tolerance in Digital System Design: It addresses all aspects
related to concepts, theory, implementations and applications of fault
tolerance principles in digital systems design.
Special Session Organizer: Z. Kotásek, Brno U. of Technology (CZ)

SS2:   Prospective aspects of Networks-on-Chip: It addresses all aspects
related to concepts, implementations and applications of networks-on-chip as
well as related EDA tools. Nonetheless, its focus is on prospective issues
and interdisciplinary topics like reliability, system control, design flow,
application studies and the outlook on future developments in NOC design.
Special Session Organizer: C. Cornelius, Univ. of Rostock (DE)

SS3: Dependability and Testing of Digital Systems: It addresses emerging
issues, hot problems, new solution methods and their hardware and software
implementations in all fields of digital and mixed-signal system
dependability and testing. It it especially focused on the dependability and
testing related to the SoC technology and modern embedded applications.
Special Session Organizer: H. Kubátová, CTU in Prague (CZ)

SS4: Planning and Optimization of Sensor Network Systems: It aims at
contributions regarding both the architectural optimization of wireless
sensor networks and the off-line planning of the overall sensing
infrastructure.
Special Session Organizer: W. Fornaciari, Politecnico Milano (I)

SS5: System-Level Energy Optimization of Embedded Software: It aims at
gathering within the same forum contributions regarding the optimization of
the energy at different abstraction levels: from the design of code up to
the library and task/resource management carried out at the operating system
level.
Special Session Organizer: E. Villar,  Universidad de Cantabria (ES)

SS6: NEWCOM++: Flexible Radio Digital Design: It addresses all aspects
regarding both the architectural concepts and methodologies of
multi-standard, multi-mode flexible radios. Tradeoffs considering
flexibility vs. computational, power consumption parameters are cornerstones
of architecture selection.
Special Session Organizer: D. Noguet, CEA-LETI (FR)
