SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Today, the integration of many cores is common - and the end of the
road is not in sight. These many-core architectures bring up
unprecedented capabilities, opportunities, as well as challenges. The
more transistors are integrated on a chip and the more cores are
introduced, the more faults can be asserted. These faults arise
either during fabrication or operation. As the fabrication costs are
continuously rising, it is most important to increase the output of a
fab by software, architectural, or physical means. This workshop
addresses issues and solutions through dependable soft- or hardware
design of many-core systems.

The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
* Dependable Many-Core Architectures
* Power-Aware Many-Core Design
* Dependable & Secure Many-Core Designs
* Many-Core Development and Design Tools
* Simulation Techniques
* System-Level Many-Core Implementation
* Many-Core Interconnect Technology
* Many-Core System-On-Chip Development
* Reconfigurable Computing and FPGAs
* Design for Testing
* Hardware and Software Debug Facilities
* Many-Core Programming and Optimization
* Application Partitioning and Load Balancing
* Hypervisors and Virtual Machine Technology
* Trusted and Untrusted Environments
* Virtualization for Dependability
* Dependability through Multi-Threading
* Fault Detection on the Physical Layer
* Fault-Tolerant Software Design
* Fault-Tolerant Hardware Design
* Fault-Tolerant HW/SW Co-Design

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously
submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with
authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and
authors email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding
author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list of topics and
an abstract of no more than 450 words. The full manuscript should be
at most 7 pages using the two-column IEEE format. Additional pages
will be charged additional fee. Please include page numbers on all
preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide
helpful comments. Paper submission is handled through the Easychair
conference system at:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dmcc2012

Only PDF files will be accepted. Each paper will receive a minimum of
three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality,
relevance, technical clarity and presentation. Authors of accepted
papers must guarantee that their papers will be registered and
presented at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the
conference proceedings which will be made available at the time of the
meeting.

If you have any questions about paper submission or the workshop,
please contact the organizers.
