The goal of this workshop is to convene a limited number of leading engineers and researchers from a wide cross section of academia, industry, and government to discuss critical challenges in developing and deploying embedded intelligence over a wide range of applications. They demand big, bold, maverick thinking. They also demand that we share what we learn by doing, hence the focus on Applications of Embedded Systems. This workshop will be preceded by the Special Workshop on Intelligence at the Network Edge , being held in the same venue on March 20, 2000. We hope the results of this workshop will help clarify and coordinate the research and development agenda in embedded systems, recognizing that, in engineering and science, getting the problem statement right is much of the battle.
Preference is given to students who are speakers.
To apply, see our student stipend web page . The program committee invites submission of an extended abstract, which should describe original work concerning the design, implementation, and real application of embedded systems. We are not looking for tweaks to Linux, or stuffing WinCE palmtops into toys. Rather, we are seeking radical new architectures, exceptionally promising prototypes, and enlightening case studies. The abstract should convince the program committee that a good paper and 20-minute talk will result.
