DESCRIPTION:Prof. David Atienza Alonso\nInaugural Lecture(Conference in En
 glish)Abstract: The evolution of semiconductor process technologies has en
 abled the design of low cost\, compact and high-performance embedded syste
 ms. These new embedded systems are computing platforms with multi-processo
 r system-on-chip (MPSoC) architectures that can be deployed ubiquitously\,
  and provide computing capacity for a better understanding of our environm
 ent in order to continue the progress at our society. However\, the inhere
 nt resource-constrained nature of embedded systems\, coupled with their in
 crease of power and heat density\, can result in degraded performance or a
  global energy crisis. Thus\, I will address how we must change our curren
 t electronic design methodologies to conceive the next generation energy-e
 fficient computing systems. This talk advocates for a system-level approac
 h to synergistically design both hardware and software components\, as wel
 l as capitalizing on a better understanding how living organisms operate\,
  in order to embed more onboard intelligence and dramatically reduce the e
 nergy consumption of future computing systems.Program\n-Introduction by Pr

 o: David Atienza is associate professor of EE and director of the Embedded
  Systems Laboratory (ESL) at EPFL\, Switzerland. He received his MSc and P
 hD degrees in computer science and engineering from UCM\, Spain\, and IMEC
 \, Belgium\, in 2001 and 2005\, respectively. His research interests focus
  on system-level design methodologies for multi-processor Systems-on-Chip 
 (MPSoC) architectures\, including new thermal-aware design for 2D and 3D M
 PSoCs\, low-power design methods for wireless body sensors\, and memory ma
 nagement of embedded systems. In these fields\, he is co-author of more th
 an 200 publications in prestigious journals and international conferences\
 , several book chapters and seven U.S. patents. He has earned several best
  paper awards at top venues in electronic design automation\, and computin
 g system engineering in these areas. He received the IEEE CEDA Early Caree
 r Award in 2013\, the ACM SIGDA Outstanding New Faculty Award in 2012 and 
 a Faculty Award from Sun Labs at Oracle in 2011. He is a Distinguished Lec
 turer (2014-2015) of the IEEE CASS\, and Senior Member of IEEE and ACM.
