The historical city of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland and home to some half a million people, will host the 2010 Conference on Design and Architectures for Signal and Image Processing (DASIP) from the 26th to the 28th of October 2010. DASIP provides an inspiring international forum for latest innovations and developments in the field of leading edge embedded signal processing systems. Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts on topics including, but not limited to:

Design methods and tools

* Design verification and fault tolerance
* Embedded system security and security validation
* System-level design and hardware/software co-design
* Communication synthesis, architectural and logic synthesis
* Embedded real-time systems and real-time operating systems
* Rapid system prototyping, performance analysis and estimation
* Formal models, transformations, algorithm transformations and metrics


Development platforms, architectures and technologies

* Embedded platforms for multimedia and telecom
* Many-core and multi-processor systems, SoCs, and NoCs
* Reconfigurable ASIPs, FPGAs, and dynamically reconfigurable systems
* Asynchronous (self-timed) circuits and analog and mixed-signal circuits
* Digital biosignal processing, biologically based and/or inspired systems


Use-cases and applications

* Ambient intelligence, ubiquitous and wearable computing
* Global navigation satellite systems, smart cameras, and PDAs
* Security systems, cryptography, object recognition and tracking
* Embedded systems for automotive, aerospace, and health applications


Smart sensing systems

* Sensor networks, environmental and system monitoring
* Vision, audio, fingerprint, health monitoring, and biosensors
* Structurally-embedded, distributed, and multiplexed sensors
* Sensing for active control systems, adaptive and evolutionary sensors


The conference program will include keynote speeches, contributed paper sessions, and demonstrations. Special sessions, may be on the topics of:

* Reliable multi-processor scheduling and HW/SW resource management
* Reconfigurable (computing) architectures
* The open computing language (OpenCL)
* Reconfigurable video coding (RVC)
* Smart image sensors


Authors should submit their full papers (up to 8 pages, double-column IEEE format) in PDF through the web based submission system. Proceedings of DASIP 2010 will be included in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to the International Journal of Embedded and Real-Time Communication Systems (IJERTCS), in which a special issue on DASIP will be published on the third quarter of 2011.
