PURPOSE AND SCOPE

Embedded system design as a discipline has long been pursued in various industrial application domains including avionics, aerospace, automobile, consumer electronics and industrial control. Within the Asia-Pacific region, the embedded system industry has exhibited year-on-year growth, to the point where it has become an important contributor to many regional economies.

This has resulted in a growing need for highly-trained and skilled manpower to meet the insatiable demands of industry, leading to an emphasis on embedded systems in many Asia-Pacific universities. In addition, several Asia-Pacific nations, so long lagging behind Europe and the Americas, have emerged in recent years as major powerhouses of embedded systems R&D, both in industry and in academia. This backdrop led to the creation, in 2007, of a regional conference dedicated to embedded systems: APESER. In our third annual meeting we now aim to gather the embedded systems community together to discuss issues and challenges in this field. Topics discussed in the conference include, but are not limited to, the following:

Education	Research	Applications
Lab design & training Curriculum design Courseware & platforms Student promotion Teaching methods Teaching projects Collaborative groupware Hands-on approaches	Embedded hardware Embedded Linux Embedded software Low-power systems Systems-on-a-chip Custom designs Reconfigurable devices	Embedding applications Real-time systems System development Embedded tools Avionic systems Automotive systems Medical systems Consumer electronics

ACCEPTED PAPERS

Thank you to the many who contacted us to express your interest in APESER, especially those from the industrial sector. Thanks also to the many authors who submitted papers to APESER this year, giving us a significant increase in the number of papers registered over previous years.

With just two days of presentation sessions (which include keynotes, free tutorials for attendees and hopefully a technical visit), the technical chairs were forced to limit the number of papers for presentation, to a little less than 60% of total submissions. However this has meant that the quality of all the accepted papers is maintained at a good level.

Overall, we can count 15 nationalities represented in our paper authors, stretching right from the East to the West, covering embedded systems education, research and industry.

LATEST INFORMATION

The full list of accepted papers can be seen here.

--

Camera-ready paper submissions will be handled via EDAS, here.

--

[15/11/2009] Registration for attendees will be handled via EDAS, here.
Note: all authors and registered APESER attendees are entitled to attend the tutorials for free. Others can register to attend only the tutorials here (you need to register with EDAS first).

--

[18/11/2009] Full conference programme is now available here.

--

[18/11/2009] Accommodation on campus is provided by the Nanyang Executive Centre.
The NEC is about 10 minutes walking distance from the venue, alternatively a free campus bus takes guests to a stop close to the venue (we will post directions and a map later). Note: We are currently attempting to negotiate a block booking. If you wish to stay on campus and have not yet notified us, please email to mcloughlin-at-ntu.edu.sg to request a reservation.

--

[18/11/2009] Four tutorial sessions are available, free of charge for APESER attendees, but at a small cost to walk-in attendees:
T1: Fast track to embedded Linux with buildroot
     Assoc. Prof. Nicholas Vun Chan Hua, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
T2: Linux/Android power management
     Assoc. Prof. Charles Shiao-Li Tsao, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan
T3: Executive overview of embedded Linux development and IP concerns
     Assoc. Prof. Ian McLoughlin, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
T4: Algorithm-Architecture Co-Design for DSP Applications
     Dr Pramod Meher, Institute for Infocomms Research, Singapore
These four sessions will run on the afternoon of Tuesday 15th December 2009, in two parallel tracks in rooms LT9 and LT10 respectively, and are sponsored by Dreamcatcher Asia Pte. Ltd.
