*/Co-located with DAC!/**//*

*Call for Contributions*

*Extended Submission Deadline - April 14!*

*Chair: Dan Gajski, University of California, Irvine*

Co-Chair & Organization:*Adam Morawiec, ECSI*

Program Co-Chairs:**

*ESLsyn is organized with the technical co-sponsorship of *

*IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA)*

  (pending agreement)

*Workshop Description*

The ever increasing need for enhanced productivity in designing highly 
complex electronic systems drives the evolution of design methods beyond 
the traditional approaches. Virtual prototyping, design space 
exploration and system synthesis with the goal of optimized and 
functionally correct product implementation are needed for designing 
both HW and SW parts.

The system design teams expect newer and more efficient methods and 
tools supporting better management of the design complexity and 
reduction of the design cycle time all together, breaking the trend to 
compromise on the evaluation of various design implementation options. 
Designing at higher levels of abstraction is a viable way to better cope 
with the system design complexity, to verify earlier in the design 
process and to increase code reuse.

The *Electronic System Level Synthesis Conference ESL/syn/* focuses on 
automated system design methods that enable efficient modelling of 
systems to provide the capability to synthesize HW platforms and 
embedded software with particular aspects related to synthesis.

*Target Audience*

**This conference will provide an overview of existing and emerging 
solutions provided by both industrial partners (EDA companies) and 
research institutions in the domain of ESL synthesis. It will give an 
outline of synthesis methods and tools available currently in the market 
and discuss their applicability, performance, strengths and user 
experiences. Finally, the event will create a discussion platform for 
experience exchange between providers of synthesis technology and 
industry users, but also will be a forum to discuss scientific concepts 
and paradigms for the future evolution of synthesis methods.***//*

*Topics*

*Cyber-Physical System/System/Platform:*model-driven synthesis, models 
of computation, virtual prototyping, design space exploration, design 
methodologies, architectures, co-design, interface synthesis, 
partitioning, performance analysis, optimization, modeling refinement, 
transformation, generation, languages, formal specification and 
verification methods, virtualization, target platforms: ASIC, FPGA, GPU, 
many- & multi-core, SOC platforms, HW accelerators, ...

*High-Level Synthesis, Behavioral Synthesis, Architectural Synthesis for 
HW Design:* hierarchical synthesis, algorithmic transformations, loop 
transformations, scheduling & binding techniques, correctness, formal 
verification, reliability, incremental synthesis, control-oriented 
synthesis, low-power synthesis, performance-driven synthesis, 
target-specific synthesis, multiple clock design, input languages & 
subsets, internal representation, interaction with low-level synthesis, 
certification, trade-off analysis, ...

*Embedded Software Synthesis:*programming models (including multi-core, 
GPU programming models), correct-by-construction software synthesis, 
intermediate representations, scheduling techniques, binding, 
communication and synchronization protocols, 
middleware/hardware-dependent software, performance analysis and 
optimization, domain-specific languages and methods (AADL etc.), 
concurrent program synthesis, compilers for multi-/many- cores, time 
triggered vs. event triggered models, synchronous programming models, 
formal methods for embedded software design and verification, ...

The above list is not an exhaustive list of topics addressed by 
*ESL/syn/* ; contributions related to *ESL/syn/* problems in general not 
listed here are highly welcome. Submissions may be theoretical 
scientific papers, research in progress, case studies, tool use cases 
and best practice, as well as industry experiences.*//**//*
