Scope
The Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design (DSD) addresses all aspects of (embedded, pervasive and high-
performance) digital and mixed HW/SW system engineering, covering the whole design trajectory from specification
down to micro-architectures, digital circuits and VLSI implementations. It is a forum for researchers and engineers from
academia and industry working on advanced investigations, developments and applications.
It focuses on today’s and future challenges of advanced embedded, high-performance and cyber-physical applications;
system and processor architectures for embedded and high-performance HW/SW systems; design methodology and
design automation for all design levels of embedded, high-performance and cyber-physical systems; modern
implementation technologies from full custom in nanometer technology nodes, through FPGAs, to MPSoC
infrastructures.
Authors are kindly invited to submit their work according (but not limited) to the main topics of the conference main
track. In addition, several Special Sessions (with their own coordinators and subprogram committees) do also welcome
contributions in specific themes of particular interest (see CfPs). All papers
are reviewed following guidelines, quality requirements and thresholds that are common to all committees.
The Author's Session selection can be changed according actually sent papers to create a thematically comprehensive DSD conference program.
Extended versions of selected best papers will be published in a special issue of the ISI indexed Euromicro/Elsevier
journal “Microprocessors and Microsystems: Embedded Hardware Design” (MICPRO) having the 2016 Impact Factor
as high as 1.025.
