29th Euromicro Conference Series on
Digital System Design (DSD) 2026

 

Call for Papers

29th Euromicro Conference Series on Digital System Design (DSD) 2026 will be held at the AGH Univeristy of Kraków, Poland, from 2nd to 4th of September 2026.

Scope:

The Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design (DSD) addresses all aspects of (embedded, pervasive and high-performance) digital and mixed HW/SW system development and covers the entire design process from specification to microarchitectures, digital circuits and VLSI implementations. It is a forum for researchers and engineers from academia and industry working on advanced research, development and applications. It focuses on the current and future challenges of: advanced embedded, high-performance and cyber-physical applications; system and processor architectures for embedded and high performance HW/SW systems; design methodology and design automation for all design levels of embedded, high performance and cyber-physical systems; modern implementation technologies ranging from full-custom circuits in nanometer technology nodes to FPGAs and MPSoC infrastructures. Authors are cordially invited to submit their work on (but not limited to) the topics of the main track of the conference. In addition, contributions to various special sessions (with dedicated coordinators and sub-program committees) on specific topics of special interest are welcome. All papers will be reviewed according to common guidelines, quality requirements and acceptance thresholds.

Main Topics

  • Artificial intelligence from edge to cloud: architectures, methods, tools and applications
  • Design and synthesis of systems, hardware and embedded software – specification, modelling, analysis, validation and testing
  • Design automation at system, processor, register-transfer, logic and physical levels
  • Formal methods in system and hardware design
  • IoT, cyber-physical, embedded systems and applications
  • Systems-on-a-chip, networks-on-a-chip and systems-in-a-package
  • High-performance, energy-efficient multi-core and many-core (heterogeneous) processor architectures.
  • Autonomous/adaptable/reconfigurable systems and architectures
  • Security, safety, reliability and multi-objective optimization of embedded and cyber-physical systems
  • Future trends, new applications and new technologies

Special sessions

Submission guidelines

  • Authors are required to submit their manuscripts via the EasyChair web service at the web page https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dsd2026. Should an unexpected web access problem be encountered, please contact the Program Chairs Paolo Burgio and Miguel Figueroa
  • Each manuscript should include the complete paper text, all illustrations, and references. The manuscript should conform to the IEEE format: single-spaced, double-column, US letter page size, 10-point size Times Roman font, up to 8 pages. Papers with at most two extra pages are allowed, subject to mandatory overlength page charges (80 EUR/page) to be purchased at the camera-ready submission of accepted papers. In order to conduct a double-blind review, no indication of the authors’ names should appear in the manuscript, references included. However, but authors should not hide previous work, instead, they need to make self-references in the third person.
  • All papers will be reviewed according to common guidelines, quality requirements, and acceptance thresholds. Program Chairs reserve the possibility to transfer papers between the main track and the special sessions so that each paper is reviewed in the track in which it fits best.

No-Show Policy

Please take note that the conference has a strict policy on no-show. Therefore, if your paper is accepted, one of the authors and their representatives MUST PRESENT their paper at the conference.

Journal Publication

Authors of the selected best papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their research to the ISI indexed Euromicro/Elsevier journal ”Microprocessors and Microsystems: Embedded Hardware Design” (MICPRO) which has a 2024 Impact Factor of 2.6 and Cite Score of 8.2 (Q1).
