"New Platforms for Future Cars"
Dresden, Germany, March 23, 2018 | https://www.date-conference.com/conference/workshop-w03
Submission deadline: 14 January 2018
Acceptance notification: 31 January 2018
=====================================
The automotive industry is rapidly moving towards the adoption of new hardware solutions, such as multi- and many-core processors, FPGAs and neural networks in order to comply with the increasingly number of ECUs and the high computational power required by future autonomous cars and advanced vision processing. Moreover, with the emerging trends in autonomous driving such as V2X communication and Internet of Cars, security is also arising as a serious concern for many automotive players. Therefore, new architecture solutions pose numerous challenges such as migrating legacy code, data fusion and processing of a multitude of sensors piling into autonomous cars, mapping affecting processing power demands in new systems architectures, employment of deep learning and other advanced AI techniques, the verification and validation of timing safety and providing secure interfaces to connect the cars to each other and to the outside world. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers as well as practitioners from academia and industry to discuss and investigate cutting-edge methods and tools that will be driving technology innovation in the field of autonomous systems in order to devise highly efficient systems and systems-of-systems for future self-driving cars.
Submission Guidelines
We invite interested contributors to submit to the workshop an extended abstract of a maximum 2-pages in the IEEE double column format. This is expected to cover emerging and future design, verification and test problems including work in progress and identify open problems that deserve innovative future research. Contributions with a strong industrial
focus and applicability are highly recommended. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to,
* Autonomous driving,
* Multicore platforms for automotive applications,
* Hardware/Software co-design of automotive systems,
* Parallelizing legacy code in automotive systems,
* Model-based design for safety and security,
* Predictable models of executions,
* Timing analysis for multicore/manycore architectures,
* Internet of things solutions for connected car systems,
* Security of in-vehicle networks,
Accepted contributions will be published in the form on informal proceedings, distributed to participants of the workshop. Contributions will serve for interactive presentations and will be presented in a face-to-face discussion area. Presenters are required to prepare a poster (up to A0 format) to help the discussion.
Venue
The workshop is organized as a Friday workshop associated to DATE 2018, the conference on Design, Automation and Test in Europe. The workshop will be held in Dresden, Germany, on March 23 rd.
