Workshop on Compiler Assisted SoC Assembly
CASA 2013

The Workshop on Compiler-Assisted System-On-Chip Assembly (CASA) is a workshop that brings together top researchers working on compilation and synthesis of systems-on-chip to talks, by invitation only, about their recent research experiences.

CASA is a relatively small workshop, but features excellent presentations from both up and coming and senior researchers. As opposed to regular conference talks, the presentations are not narrow, and proivde a broad base of understanding. They are excellent for young researchers looking for a deeper understanding of the field. The workshop also allows significant time for question and answer sessions, for a much more open and lively discussions.

CASA 2013 is part of Embedded Systems Week (ESWEEK), and will be held October 3rd in Montreal, Quebec. The theme of this year's workshop is: "Cross-layer Resilience."

Registration

You can register for the workshop during your registration for ESWEEK. Early registration ends August 28th.

Hotel

ESWEEK attendees are strongly urged to make hotel reservations at the conference hotel. Please refer to information about the ESWEEK Conference Venue for more details.
