I just received a call for presentations from the folks running Multicore Expo 2010, which will take place in combination with the Embedded System Conference (ESC), the industry’s leading embedded systems event.

Working in conjunction with ESC, the Multicore Expo will provide attendees with three days of dedicated multicore technology training options and an increased number of multicore-related exhibits. The three day Multicore Expo program will include:

• In-depth technical sessions
• Thought-provoking panel discussions
• Sponsored presentations
• An extensive multicore pavilion and networking opportunities
• Attendees will also enjoy the ‘Multicore Technology Headliners’, special presentations delivered by industry luminaries and elite sponsors.

But as I say, the main thing at the moment is the call for presentations (Click Here to submit a proposal). Important deadlines are as follows:

• Submission of titles and abstracts: November 13, 2009
• Notification of acceptance: November 23, 2009

Topic Ideas

• Application-specific implementations (i.e. automotive, consumer, networking, storage, and wireless)
• Multicore and ManyCore architectures and devices
• Multicore interconnect and SoC development
• RTOSs for heterogeneous and/or homogeneous multiprocessing
• Software APIs for inter-process/thread communications
• Multicore debug facilities
• Simulation/modeling
• Multicore benchmarks and performance analysis
• Algorithm/application partitioning
• Compiler interaction and optimizations
• Parallel processing languages
• Load balancing techniques
• Business-oriented technology trends
• Markets/applications enabled by multicore implementations

Tips to Increase your Chances of Being Accepted
Most important: In working with the Embedded Systems Conferences, we must maintain our strong reputation for offering very high quality technical programs. We receive many more qualified submissions than can be selected. Based on this, we are looking for:

• Technically challenging presentations that will provide a better understanding of multicore processes and technologies
• Topics that will appeal to a broad range of attendees
• Practical information that can be immediately put to use back in the work place
• Advanced material for returning attendees
• Topics that stress processes and methodologies rather than products
• How-to classes to ease the development process
• Systems developers with several years of practical development experience
• Engineering managers who are willing to share their experiences about managing embedded projects
• Speakers with strong organizational and speaking skills

Last but not least, all submissions must be original, not published or currently under review for another conference (Click Here to submit a proposal).
