Call for Papers

PDF

Each year, the MEDIAN project Workshops provide an event where ideas are exchanged and discussed, and new cooperations are created as researchers from the academic and industrial domains share their recent findings, theories and on-going scientific and practical works in the dependable system designs and their applications. Constant advances in manufacturing yield and field reliability are important ena­bling factors for electronic devices pervading our lives, from medical to consumer electronics, from railways to the automotive and avionics scenarios. At the same time, both technology and architectures are today at a turning point.

In year 2015 the workshop will provide an open forum for presentations and will challenge the participants to think and discuss hot research topics. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit their work regarding the following topics (but not limited to):

• How to address test, fault tolerance and lifetime extension in heterogeneous low-power multicore systems?
• How to tackle cross-layer optimizations for design, test and reliability of multicore systems at nanoscale?
• How to test and verify reliable embedded systems without time and effort explosions?

A wider scope of topics relevant to the workshop includes the following:

• Methodologies/techniques for manufacturing reliable nanoscale devices
• System level design, on-line testing/fault tolerance
• Dependability Evaluation and Validation/Debug Methodologies
• Fault tolerance for space applications
• Fault tolerance for transportation systems
• Fault tolerance for medical devices

Important dates:

• Contribution registration:   November 6, 2014
• PDF submission deadline:   November 11, 2014 (extended, firm)
• Notification of acceptance: December 1, 2014
• Camera-ready deadline:      January 30, 2015
• Registration deadline:          February 10, 2015

Paper submissions: Submissions can be made in form of an abstract 2-4 pages long, prepared according to the IEEE format via EasyCair conference management system. The templates (DOC, LaTeX) are available here. Please use A4 page size.

Submit Paper

Accepted abstracts will be published as informal proceedings online on the web page of the MEDIAN workshop. Extended versions of the accepted abstracts are also eligible to undergo a second round of reviews for possible publication in a special issue of an archival journal.

Workshop location: The MEDIAN 2015 Workshop is organised as a DATE 2015 Friday Workshop. All information about location as well as travel and accommodation can be found at the DATE conference web page.

Other information for authors: Based on to the availability of COST Action IC1103 Median funding, authors of accepted contributions will be eligible for travel reimbursement. In case of limited budget availability, the selection of beneficiaries will be based on the following criteria, in priority order: 1) Young researchers (Master thesis/Ph.D students); 2) Balance of allocation among different Working Groups; and 3) First come first serve. More details.
