SIGBED Viability Review

SIGBED (Special Interest Group on Embedded Systems) focuses on all aspects of embedded computer systems, including hardware/software co-design, embedded control systems, real-time programming and implementation, and networked sensors. We strive to integrate diverse subareas into a community and promote interdisciplinary research and education. We organize conferences and events like Embedded Systems Week to facilitate knowledge exchange and growth opportunities in the field. Help us attract industry professionals and international members to further advance embedded systems.

  1. SIGBED Viability Review Rajeev Alur October 2006

  2. History • Established in May 2003 • Focus: all aspects of embedded computer systems • Challenge: To integrate diverse subareas into a community • Hardware/software co-design • Embedded control systems • Real-time programming and implementation • Networked sensors and actuators Close ties with programming languages, software engineering, operating systems, architecture and compilers, networking, design automation, formal methods,…

  3. Finances • Steady growth in fund balance 2004: (1,377); 2005: (4,034), 2006: 10,007 • Getting the fund balance to required level • Growing membership • Surplus from conferences is showing healthy growth • Embedded systems week

  4. Membership • Growing membership 2004: 289; 2005: 435, 2006: 504 • Stable student numbers: currently 46 • Challenge: Most conferences are cosponsored with other SIGs • Growth Opportunities • Can we attract practicing members from industry? • Industrial liaison on executive board • Attracting international members • Embedded Systems Week 2006: Seoul, Korea • Embedded Systems Week 2007: Salzburg, Austria

  5. Conferences • FY’06 conferences • EMSOFT: Embedded software (100%) • IPSN: Information processing in sensor networks (50%) • LCTES: Languages, compilers, and tools (50%) • CASES: Compilers, architectures and synthesis (33.3%) • CODES/ISSS: Hardware/software codesign and synthesis (20%) • SENSYS: Networked sensor systems (10%) • Embedded Systems Week • Fall event: EMSOFT, CODES/ISSS, CASES, and many workshops • Ongoing efforts • More meetings for ESWEEK (e.g. next year: Formats) • Spring event around IPSN?

  6. Activities • SIGBED Review • Quarterly, electronic only • SIGBED/SIGSOFT Frank Anger Memorial Award • To promote interdisciplinary research among students • First SIGBED winners announced at ESWEEK 2006 • Close cooperation with journals: TECS and TOSN • Education • Standardized embedded systems curriculum? • Education workshop and SIGBED Review special issue • Close cooperation with NSF and EU on funding initiatives
