________________________________________________________

High performance embedded computing has recently become more and more
present in devices used in everyday life. A wide variety of applications,
from consumer electronics to biomedical systems, require building up
powerful yet cheap embedded devices. In this context, embedded software has
turned out to be more and more complex, posing new challenging issues. The
adoption of further flexible programming paradigms/architectures is becoming
almost mandatory. Nonetheless, even nowadays the development of embedded
systems must rely on a tight coupling of hardware and software components.

Moreover, the market pressure calls for the employment of new methodologies
for shortening the development time, and for driving the evolution of
existing products. New efficient solutions to problems emerging in this
setting can be put into action by means of a joint effort of academia and
industry.

Design of embedded systems must take into account a wide variety of

constraints: performance, code size, power consumption, presence of
real-time tasks, robustness, maintainability, security, and possibly
scalability. The more convenient trade-off has to be found, often operating
on a large number of different parameters. In this scenario, solutions can
be proposed at different levels of abstraction, making use of an assortment
of tools and methodologies: researchers and practitioners have a chance to
propose new ideas and to compare experimentations.

The focus of this conference track is on the application of both novel and
well-known techniques to the embedded systems development. Particular
attention is paid to solutions that require expertise in different fields
(e.g. computer architecture, OS, compilers, security, software engineering,
simulation). The track will benefit also from direct experiences in the
employment of embedded devices in "unconventional" application areas, so to
show up new challenges in the system design/development process. In this
setting, researchers and practitioners from academia and industry will get a
chance to keep in touch with problems, open issues and future directions in
the field of development of dedicated applications for embedded systems.

    Important dates   (PAPERS & SRC ABSTRACTS)

*-----------------------------------------------*

Full paper submission:    September 15, 2020. September 28, 2020

Author notification:      November  10, 2020.

Camera ready paper:       November  25, 2020.

*-----------------------------------------------*

               Paper Submissions

*-----------------------------------------------*

Submission of Papers: Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in PDF

format, according to the instructions contained in the main Conference web

site. The review process is double blind. Please anonymize the paper

submitted for review. The paper length is 8 pages, with the option to add 2

additional pages at extra charge, up to a maximum of 10 pages. Contributions

must contain original unpublished work. Papers that have been concurrently

submitted to other conferences or journals (double submissions) will be

automatically rejected. All papers must submitted through the main

conference web page.

Paper Acceptance: Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of

the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy

attending ACM SAC MUST present the paper: This is a requirement for the

paper/poster to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of

scheduled papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE

digital library.

*-----------------------------------------------*

     Student Research Competition at ACM SAC

*-----------------------------------------------*

Graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on their

research ideas are invited to submit abstracts of their original unpublished

and in-progress research work in areas of experimental computing and

application development related to SAC Tracks. The Student Research

Competition (SRC) program is designed to provide graduate students the

opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with researcher and practitioners in

their areas of interest.

All research abstract submissions will be reviewed by researchers and

practitioners with expertise in the track focus area to which they are

submitted. Authors of selected abstracts will have the opportunity to give

poster presentations of their work and compete for three top winning places.

The SRC committee will evaluate and select First, Second, and Third place

winners. The winners will receive cash awards and SIGAPP recognition

certificates during the conference banquet dinner. Authors of selected

abstracts are eligible to apply to the SIGAPP Student Travel Award program

for support.

Submission - Graduate students are invited to submit abstracts (minimum of

two pages; maximum of four pages) of their original unpublished and

in-progress research work following the instructions published at SAC

web-site. The submissions must address research work related to a SAC track,

with emphasis on the innovation behind the research idea, including the

problem being investigated, the proposed approach and research methodology,

and sample preliminary results of the work. In addition, the abstract should

reflect on the originality of the work, innovation of the approach, and

applicability of anticipated results to real-world problems. All SRC works

must be submitted through the main conference web page.

Please note SRCs and regular papers must be submitted at different pages of

the START web system. Submitting the same abstract to multiple tracks is not

allowed. It is recommended to refer to the official SRC Information Sheet

for further details.
