EMSOFT’23 PC Chairs’ Report
Welcome to the report on the 23rd ACM SIGBED International Conference on Embedded Software (EMSOFT’23)! EMSOFT is held as part of Embedded Systems Week (ESWEEK), the annual highlight event of the embedded systems community. ESWEEK also features the International Conference on Compilers, Architectures, and Synthesis for Embedded Systems (CASES) and the International Conference on Hardware/Software Codesign and System Synthesis (CODES+ISSS). For this year, ESWEEK brought together in addition to the three conferences, two symposia (MEMOCODE, NOCS), several workshops, tutorials, and education classes.
The General Chair Sharon Hu and the General co-Chair Alain Girault have organized the in-person edition, for the first time since pandemic situation, in Hamburg, Germany in September 17-22, 2023.
Main Program
EMSOFT 2023 reviewing process was double bind and conducted in two rounds, including extensive online discussions and a 2-day PC meeting, which took place online over Zoom. We received in total 90 journal-track paper submissions. After the first round of reviews, 29 papers were invited to be revised and submitted for a second round of reviews. Out of the revised submissions, 21 excellent papers were finally selected to form the program of EMSOFT 2023 (21% acceptance rate).
Furthermore, our program included 3 Late-Breaking and 8 Work-in-Progress contributions.
Outstanding Papers
For the Best Paper Award, three papers were nominated based on reviews and discussions.
Verified Compilation of Synchronous Dataflow with State Machines. Timothy Bourke, Basile Pesin and Marc Pouzet;
Rectifying Skewed Kernel Page Reclamation in Mobile Devices for Improving User-Perceivable Latency. Yi-Quan Chou, Lin-Wei Shen and Li-Pin Chang
Equation-directed axiomatization of Lustre semantics to enable optimized code validation. Lélio Brun, Christophe Garion, Pierre-Loic Garoche and Xavier Thirioux
Best Paper Award
The best paper award was given to
Equation-directed axiomatization of Lustre semantics to enable optimized code validation. Lélio Brun, Christophe Garion, Pierre-Loic Garoche and Xavier Thirioux
EMSOFT Keynote
Carrying the tradition of past ESWEEK, each day of the three conference days included a keynote, one per conference topic. For EMSOFT, Prof. Lothar Thiele will give a talk on “The quest for resilient embedded systems in the era of machine learning”.
Test-of-time Award
Additionally, the Influential Paper Award, which is given to papers from previous EMSOFT conferences from 2005 to 2007, was awarded to the EMSOFT 2007 paper entitled “Scheduling Multiple Independent Hard-Real-Time Jobs on a Heterogeneous Multiprocessor“. With this paper, Orlando Moreira, Frederico Valente, and Marco Bekooij introduced novel scheduling algorithms and analysis that enable the resource-efficient implementation of complex Hard-Real-Time dataflow workloads upon heterogeneous MPSoC’s.
