LCTES 2019
Sat 22 - Fri 28 June 2019 Phoenix, Arizona, United States
co-located with PLDI 2019

Welcome to the 2019 edition of the International Conference on Languages Compilers, Tools and Theory of Embedded Systems. LCTES provides a link between the programming languages and the embedded systems communities. Researchers and developers in these areas are addressing many similar problems, but with different backgrounds and approaches. LCTES is intended to expose researchers and developers from either area to relevant work and interesting problems in the other area and provide a forum where they can interact.

Paper Categories

  • Full paper: 10 pages presenting original work.
  • Work-In-Progress (WIP) paper: 2-4 page papers presenting original ideas that are likely to trigger interesting discussions.
  • Invited (INV) papers: 2-3 page papers, presenting an overview of the field, and shining light on important research problems. After acceptance, the authors will submit a full (up to) 10-page paper for publication.

Accepted papers in all the categories will appear in the proceedings published by ACM. Selected papers will be invited for a special issue in ACM TECS.

Artifact Evaluation

Authors of accepted papers will be invited to formally submit their supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation process. The Artifact Evaluation process is run by a separate committee whose task is to reproduce (at least some) experiments and how the artifacts support the work described in the papers. This submission is voluntary and will not influence the final decision regarding the papers.

Original contributions are solicited on the topics of interest including, but not limited to:

  • Programming languages
  • Compilers
  • Tools for analysis, specification, design, and implementation
  • Theory and foundations of embedded systems
  • Novel embedded architectures
  • Mobile systems and IoT
  • Industrial case studies
