This symposium will provide a platform for the dissemination of research on topics of interest but not limited to the following: Dataflow architectures Accelerator architectures for DSP Dataflow-based modeling and analysis Methods for assessing and optimizing the productivity, retargetability, and reliability provided by dataflow-based methodologies. Tools for optimized synthesis of hardware and software from high level, dataflow-based application specifications. Advanced dataflow methodologies and architectures that are specialized to specific signal processing application domains, such as biomedical signal processing, cognitive radio, cryptography, compression, multimedia processing, and video coding, and dataflow algorithms in these areas.
