Prof. Castrillon ran the 27th edition of the ACM SIGPLAN/SIGBED International Conference on Languages, Compilers, and Tools for Embedded Systems (LCTES 2026) last week, June 15-16 in Boulder CO, USA! LCTES is a premier conference that provides a link between the programming languages and embedded systems engineering communities, co-located with the prestigious PLDI conference. The program of LCTES included 15 full paper presentations and 4 work-in-progress ones, covering topics such as advanced compiler tuning, binary optimization and system security, reliability and formal methods to verify program execution, specialized hardware and accelerator design, and memory efficiency. The program was rounded up by a keynote by Prof. Aviral Shrivastava from the Arizona State University, USA, on "Practical Quantum Machine Learning: Overcoming the Bottlenecks of Scalability and Stability". Big thanks to the authors for their great contributions, to the LCTES’26 TPC for the timely, fair and insightful reviews, and to Prof. Christian Dietrich as Program Co-Chair and Prof. Jian-Jia Chen as General Chair.
