The DATE conference is the main European event bringing together designers and design automation users, researchers and vendors as well as specialists in the hardware and software design, test and manufacturing of electronic circuits and systems. DATE puts a strong emphasis on both technology and systems, covering ICs/SoCs, reconfigurable hardware and embedded systems as well as embedded software.

The three-day event consists of a conference with regular papers, late breaking results papers and extended abstracts, complemented by timely keynotes, special days, focus sessions, embedded tutorials, half-day workshops and multi-partner project sessions. The event will also host the Young People Programme and unplugged sessions fostering the networking and the exchange of information on relevant issues, recent research outcomes and career opportunities.

DATE 2024 is the 27^th edition of an event that has always been the place for researchers, young professionals and industrial partners to meet, present their research and discuss the current development and next trends, with high emphasis on social interaction.

DATE 2024 adopts the renewed format that was introduced in 2023. This means that DATE 2024 again uses an intensive three-day format, focussing on interaction as well as further strengthening the community. The vast majority of regular papers will be presented in technical sessions using short flash-presentations, where the emphasis is on poster-supported live interactions (in addition to the common full-length presentation videos available before, during and after the conference). By this, we make sure that the community can actually do what conferences are for: meeting, discussing and exchanging.

The Conference

The conference addresses all aspects of re- search into technologies for electronic and (embedded) systems engineering. It covers the design process, test and tools for design automation of electronic products ranging from integrated circuits to distributed large-scale systems. This includes both hardware and embedded software design issues. The conference scope also includes the elaboration of design requirements and new architectures for challenging application fields such as sustainable computing, Internet of Everything, augmented living, secure systems, healthcare and automotive systems. Engineers, scientists and researchers involved in innovative industrial designs are particularly encouraged to submit papers to foster feedback from design to research.

Special Days on Emerging Topics

The scientific research track is complemented by a set of sessions focussing on emerging topics bringing new challenges to the community, with presentations and interactions on interesting and timely issues.

Special Day "Responsible and Robust AI"

AI models have gained significant prominence across various domains in society, particularly in critical applications such as autonomous vehicles, banking, healthcare, and industry. In order to be practically applicable in embedded systems, designers are required to develop responsible and robust AI. This concept has a profound impact on integrating AI into our everyday products. Firstly, since AI will have control over various functionalities, the models must ensure the system's robustness and security. These requirements are essential to ensure proper operation in the presence of faults or attacks. Secondly, the decisions made by AI can be subject to blame or credit. This aspect necessitates substantial efforts in explainability and fairness, which becomes even more complex when dealing with an embedded systems context, to guarantee the algorithm's expected performance.

Within embedded AI, distributed and dynamic machine learning (ML) algorithms hold great significance for implementation on small devices, introducing additional constraints such as implementation precision and low power consumption. These constraints further contribute to the design of responsible and robust AI.

The objective of this Special Day is to showcase the latest advancements in the design and implementation of new models for responsible AI, considering hardware properties. While there will be a specific focus on "distributed ML", the event may also address societal aspects related to responsible AI.

Special Day "Sustainable Computing"

Energy consumption is a rapidly-increasing concern in the computing ecosystem: as the society relies heavily on computing as a tool for science and engineering, administration, education, and even entertainment, the stark increase in compute-resources demand could make traditional ICT infrastructure unsustainable. Thus, energy efficiency must become a design dimension for computing systems and applications, at all scales. To this end, we must design and deploy sustainable (super)computing systems. Concerted efforts towards sustainable hardware and software systems are the only way to provide energy-efficient algorithms, and thus are mandatory.

Despite the urgency of the problem – also in light of the Europe Green Deal – we lack the methods and tools to build systems that are sustainable by design. We must bring together system designers, tool designers, algorithm designers and domain experts, and policy makers to address the sustainability issues holistically.

 

DATE 2024 will also host a timely Special Initiative on:

Autonomous Systems Design

Fueled by the progress of Artificial Intelligence, autonomous systems are increasingly becoming integral parts of many Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) applications, such as automated driving, robotics, avionics, industrial automation and smart systems in general. Autonomous systems are self-governed and self-adaptive systems that are designed to operate in an open and evolving environment, which is not completely defined at design time. This poses a unique challenge to the design and verification of dependable autonomous systems. The DATE Special Initiative on Autonomous Systems Design will include peer-reviewed papers, special sessions and interactive sessions addressing these challenges.

• Abstract Submission: Saturday, 04 November 2023 AoE
• Full Paper Submission: Saturday, 11 November 2023 AoE
• Acceptance Notification: Sunday, 17 December 2023 AoE

Submission site: https://softconf.com/date24/special_ASD/

More details and a specific call for contributions can be found online: www.date-conference.com/asd and in the the Call for Contributions.

Unplugged Sessions

DATE Unplugged Sessions on The Twinning Paradigm - Come join us for stimulating brainstorm discussions in small groups about the future of digital engineering. Our focus will be on the digital twinning paradigm where virtual instances are created of a system as it is operated, maintained, and repaired (e.g., one evolving virtual instance of each individual car realized from a single design model). You will actively engage with peers in a stimulating exchange to investigate how we can take advantage of this paradigm in engineering systems and what new system engineering approaches and architectures (hardware/software) and design workflows are needed and become possible.
