From April 18-20 2016, Prof. Axel Sikora (HS Offenburg, Germany) and Prof. Chadlia Jerad organized a “Get-together towards a sustainable collaboration in IoT”. The Chair for Compiler Construction contributed with a presentation on “Programming Heterogeneous Embedded Systems for IoT”, where he discussed dataflow-based programming models and their potential role to handle the challenge of programming the highly heterogeneous and distributed systems in the IoT era.

We welcome Gerald Hempel to the Chair for Compiler Construction. Gerald will play a key role in a collaborative project between the Orchestration Path and the Biological Systems Path in Cfaed, that seeks to apply Bio-inspired algorithms (e.g., from the MOSAIC group) to the problems of Software Synthesis we deal with at the chair. Gerald has a background in Computer Science from the TU Dresden and is about to obtain his PhD from the same institution (under the supervision of Prof. C. Hochberger). During his PhD, Gerald worked on a compiler that automatically generates hardware accelerators for FPGA-SoC architectures. We are glad to have Gerald on board and are looking forward for exciting results in this collaboration!

The Orchestration Path and the Chair for Compiler Construction welcome Dr. Fazal Hameed to the TU Dresden. Fazal has a background in electronic engineering and computer science. He obtained his PhD in department of Computer Science, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Karlsruhe, Germany, at the group of Prof. Jörg Henkel, in February, 2015. Fazal worked on DRAM-aware last level cache policies for multi-core systems and has ample experience with emerging memory technologies. In the Orchestration Path, Fazal will work on system-level integration of components that will be built in the future on top of the technologies under development in the material paths of Cfaed. We are very glad to welcome Fazal to the chair team and the larger Orchestration Team!

Prof. Castrillon co-organized and presented at a tutorial co-located with the prestigious International Conference on Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques (PACT), held on October 18th, 2015 in San Francisco, CA USA. Prof. Castrillon talked about dataflow programming models and how they can be used to program heterogeneous computing systems. In the same week, Prof. Castrillon was invited to give a talk at the “Design of Robotics and Embedded systems, Analysis, and Modeling Seminar” (DREAMS) at UC Berkeley. He talked about “Analysis and software synthesis of KPN applications” and had an hour slot devoted to meet and discuss research directions with PhD students and Postdocs of the same university.

In conjunction with ESWeek the 1st International Workshop on Resiliency in Embedded Electronic Systems was held on 8 October in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. On this occasion Norman Rink presented his work on code generation for resilient software. The workshop drew a wide international audience from both academia and industry. Presentations covered many aspects of hardware faults and resilience across the entire hardware and software stacks. Keynote talks were interspersed with lively and fruitful poster discussions, during one of which the picture was taken.

The Chair for Compiler Construction welcomes Robert Khasanov, a new researcher, to the team. Robert received his bachelor and master degrees on computer science from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. After that, he did an internship at the Scalable Parallel Computing Lab (ETH Zurich). As of September 2015, Robert will work on the HAEC CRC project.

The third edition of the international Workshop on Virtual Prototyping of Parallel and Embedded Systems (ViPES’2015) took place in the beautiful island of Samos, Greece, on the 19th of July. In his role as program chair, Prof. Castrillon, together with Prof. Cristina Silvano from the Politecnico di Milano, put together a technical program with highly interesting presentations and keynotes. The workshop received submissions from 6 different countries (USA, Germany, China, Greece, Tunisia and Brazil) and was attended by above thirty participants. This edition of the workshop was co-located  with the 15th International Conference on Embedded Computer Systems: Architectures, Modeling, and Simulation (SAMOS). Therefore, ViPES profited from both the friendly atmosphere and the in-depth technical discussions that characterize the SAMOS conference, for which ViPES will stay in Samos for at least one more year.
