SAMOS XIV 2014
SAMOS is a unique conference. It deals with embedded systems (sort of)
but that is not what makes it different. It brings together every year
researchers from both academia and industry on the quiet and inspiring
northern mountainside of the Mediterranean island of Samos, which in
itself is different. But more importantly, it really fosters
collaboration rather than competition. Formal and intensive technical
sessions are only held in the mornings. A lively panel ends the formal
part of the day, and leads nicely into the afternoons and evenings
-- reserved for informal discussions, good food, and the inviting
Aegean Sea. SAMOS has IEEE technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE CAS
Society and the IEEE SSCS Germany Chapter. The conference papers will
be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore. Authors are invited to
submit technical papers in accordance to the author's instructions
describing original work in either one of the Conference Tracks or one
of the Special Sessions.
KEYNOTES. The conference keynotes are given by leaders in the field.
This year's keynotes will be given by Todd Austin, University of
Michigan (US) and Bruce Jacob, University of Maryland (US).
** SAMOS SPECIAL SESSION on "Brain-targeted and brain-inspired
computing", organized by C. Strydis, Erasmus Medical Center (NL)
** SAMOS PANEL **
The agenda of the conference will include a panel coordinated by
Trevor Mudge, University of Michigan - Ann Arbor (US) and Yale Patt,
University of Texas at Austin (US). The topic of the panel is "Open
Mic", and often digs deeper into topics presented during the morning
sessions.
** TRAVEL GRANTS **
SAMOS will provide 10 travel grants to authors and participants, who
are students from Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Portugal, and Spain and, in
general, to people with limited support from their organizations.
