Special Session 1: Embedded Systems & IoT

Organizers:

Description:

Since the use of embedded systems is becoming more and more widespread (IoT, Smart cities, Transport, Smart Manufacturing Systems, etc.), the design and verification of these software dominated systems become a complex task. To tackle this complexity, there is an urgent need to review co-design flow and related performance evaluation and optimisation techniques.
On the other hand, due to the heterogeneity of their components and their interdependencies, it is quasi impossible to guarantee they are failure-free permanently. Hence, developing advanced monitoring facilities and alternative solutions becomes essential.
The aim of this session is to expose recent works on issues related to design, monitoring and verification of embedded systems used in IoT and smart cities, developing and using models for performance, security and safety purposes.


Track Topics:

  • Co-Design

  • IoT

  • Performance

  • Verification & validation

  • Formal methods

  • Monitoring/diagnosis

  • Transportation systems

  • Security

  • Specification

  • Reconfiguration

  • Embedded OS

  • Embedded Systems

  • Smart Sensors

Qualifications of the organizers

Pr Abderrazak JEMAI received an Engineer degree from the University of Tunis (ENSI), Tunisia in 1988 and the DEA and “Doctor” degrees from the University of Grenoble (ENSIMAG-INPG), France, in 1989 and 1992, respectively, and he received his Habilitation Degree in 2012, all in computer science. Since 1993, his interests are focused on high level synthesis and simulation at behavioral and system levels within AMICAL and COSMOS at TIMA Laboratory in Grenoble.

He is also the principal investigator for the “Performance evaluation of MPSoC: Time & Energy consumption” project in LIP2/FST Laboratory in Tunis. Since 2013, he became an associate professor in ICT at INSAT University. From 2014 to August 2015, Abderrazak JEMAI became the General Director of the National Center of Informatics in Tunisia (CNI).

Pr Mohamed GHAZEL is a senior researcher with COSYS/ESTAS research team (Evaluation and Safety of Automated Transport Systems) at the IFSTTAR institute (The French Institute of Science and Technology for Transport, Development and Networks). He is member of the IFAC technical committee TC 7.4 on Transportation systems. He obtained in 2001 the engineering diploma in Productics from the ENSAIT de Roubaix (France), the Masters degree in automatic control and industrial computer sciences from Ecole Centrale de Lille/University of Lille (France) in 2002, and the the Ph.D in automatic control and industrial computer sciences from the same university in 2002.

In 2014, he received the Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) from the University of Lille.

Dr. Ghazel specializes in safety and security of transportation systems and develops methods of behavioral modeling, state estimation, verification & validation, fault detection and diagnosis, while using formal discrete event notations (Petri Nets, State Finite Automata, Temporal Logic, etc.) and semi-formal (UML, etc.) models. The main applications of his research are in transportation and critical systems, with a special interest in guided transportation systems (improvement of safety and interoperability in railways, ERTMS, etc.). He has been involved in several national and European research projects dealing with safety and security of guided transportation systems and critical infrastructures.

Dr. Ghazel teaches software engineering with various applications to critical systems to engineering and Master’s students. He has supervised several PhD and Master’s theses and is a reviewer for international journals and conferences.

Paper Submission

Papers submitted to this special session should be done through the IDT 2016 EasyChair submission system. The paper types are identical to those of regular submissions.

 


 Special Session 2: Reconfigurable Logic Design and Verification

Organizer: Prof. Ashraf Salem

Description:

The session will cover the new trends in Reconfigurable Logic Design and Verification, including the new techniques of partitioning big deigns on single or multiple FPGAs, the use of the reconfigurable logic to implement complex designs, the use of FPGAs as accelerators, NoC and Security-aware design implementation on FPGA and secure Furthermore, the session will cover design verification using Emulators and FPGA-based prototyping. Finally, it will address the use of the virtual prototyping approach combined with emulation and FPGA verification methodologies
