targeting power, reliability, and security;
and emerging application domains. Papers that address architectural synthesis
and compiler techniques for heterogeneous and accelerator-rich architectures
are especially encouraged.

CODES+ISSS 2016
CODES+ISSS is the premier event on system-level design, modeling, analysis, and
implementation of modern embedded
and cyberphysical systems, from system-level specification and optimization
to system synthesis of multiprocessor

EMSOFT unites researchers and developers from academia, industry, and
government to advance the science,
engineering, and technology of embedded-software development. Since 2001,
EMSOFT has been the premier venue for
cutting-edge research in the design and
analysis of software that interacts with
physical processes. EMSOFT has a longstanding tradition of delivering results
for cyberphysical systems, which comprise computation, networking, and
physical dynamics.

Recent advances have led to a vision
of a future Internet that connects diverse physical entities, ranging from
commonplace household appliances
to smart city infrastructures. The IoT
brings challenges in several research
areas, including cyberphysical systems, networked sensing, wireless networking, and cloud computing. The IoT
Day is designed as a meeting point for
researchers to exchange examples of
relevant domain challenges and identify new and exciting interdisciplinary
research directions through a combina-

tion of contributed and invited papers,
talks, and panels.

Dan's accomplishments don't end
here. He has written three books and
has published over 30 technical papers
and reports. He has over 40 years of
engineering experience as an electronics hardware engineer. Dan also
has experience designing read/write
circuits, magnetic and optical disk
drives, and ICs. He can also be thanked
for a little tool called "quasi constant

density recording" or "zoned density
recording," which increases the capacity of a disk drive close to 50%.
Dan is one of the fathers of Silicon
Valley, where he has worked for over
25 years. Major corporations such
as Memorex, Control Data, Philips,
Scientific Microsystems, SGS Thomson Microelectronics, Cadence Design
Systems, National semiconductor, and

Synaptics are on his resume. Dan also
served as a section delegate and director of education to the Silicon Valley
Education Council, where he awarded
grants to college students.
Dan-now retired-is now an engineering consultant and remains active
as both an SSCS member and volunteer.
