The CC Chair was busy at this year’s Design, Automation and Test in Europe Conference (DATE) in Verona, Italy. It started on Monday with Tassilo Tanneberger’s presentation on “Macros as Abstractions: Simplifying Code Generation for Lingua Franca” at the Workshop on Reactive Cyber-Physical Systems: Design, Simulation, and Coordination (ReCPS). That same day Prof. Castrillon participated in a panel organised in the context of DATE’s Young People Programme addressing challenges of work-life balance in academia. Also on Monday, investigators of the eCAT project met to kick-off the collaborative project with partners in Germany and France. Prof. Castrillon also gave a talk on “Top-Down Analysis via Integrated Compilers Frameworks” in the workshop on Rapid Design Space Explorations of Novel Hardware Solutions: from Atoms to Applications, and a talk on “Energy Efficiency for edge/cloud optimization” in the EMEC Workshop on Energy and Material Efficiency in Cloud-Edge continuum, where he reported on the tooling status of the MYRTUS project.
