The CC Chair was quite busy during the Embedded Systems Week (ESWeek) 2024, held in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, in the first week of October. On Sunday, Joao talked about emerging main memory simulation in the tutorial “Disruptive Memory Technologies: A Tutorial and Unified Simulation Framework” organised by Jian-Jia Chen, Joerg Henkel and Lokesh Siddhu. The simulation infrastructure code is publicly available. As program co-chair of the International Conference on Compilers, Architectures, and Synthesis for Embedded Systems (CASES), Prof. Castrillon had the privilege of presenting several awards during the ESWeek (test of time awards and best paper award). On Tuesday, Prof. Castrillon participated in the panel “The Embedded Systems and the Environmental Crisis” organised by Prof. Alex K. Jones and co-panelists Peipei Zhou, Steve Jackson, Daniel Andresen, and Sudeep Pasricha. CASES, and its sister conferences EMSOFT and CODES-ISSS, were a great success, with lively discussions during and between sessions. After closing the conferences, speakers and organisers of the workshop “Time-Centric Reactive Software (TCRS)” met for dinner at a typical BBQ restaurant. The TCRS workshop, co-organized by Prof. Hokeun Kim and Prof. Castrillon, had several interesting talks, including a paper by Shaokhai Lin on “Navigating Time and Energy Trade-offs in Reactive Heterogeneous Systems” and several other members of the CC Chair.
