Message from the chairs

We would like to welcome you to the eighth IEEE Workshop on Embedded Systems for Real-Time Multimedia (ESTIMedia). Embedded multimedia systems are one of the most representative segments of today´s electronics markets. However, their design complexity is increasing every year due to the convergence of a range of technologies as well as rapidly exploding user demands. Furthermore, their time-to-market is becoming more challenging. For holistic system-wide optimization, hardware and software are tightly coupled and, in turn, separation between hardware and software design is no longer feasible.
