A few days remain to propose papers for presentation at the 2005 Embedded Systems Conference, and the Consumer Systems Design Seminar still hopes to add papers on the use of Linux in consumer electronic devices, according Program Chair Rick Merritt.

The ESC 2005 is set for March 7-10 in San Francisco. According to Merrit, abstract applications will probably be cut off at the end of August.

The Consumer Systems Design Seminar's call for abstracts lists the following suggested topics:

• Advanced signal processing and filtering techniques for high quality digital audio/video playback
• Advances in integrated low-power processors, video, audio, and graphics chips for digital audio and video devices
• Advances in LCD, plasma or other display technologies, and the electronic subsystems that drive them
• Hardware requirements for supporting next-generation audio/video codecs, file formats, and digital rights management software
• How to create interoperable home network products capable of handling media streaming with high quality of service
• Implementing next-generation systems interfaces and protocols for transferring and streaming quality digital audio/video
• Issues in incorporating next-generation flash and hard-disk storage in portable and wired consumer electronics devices
• Updates on progress in home networking standards and technologies

In addition to Consumer Systems, ESC 2005 will offer Design Seminars on 3G cellular technology, analog and power, DSP performance, easy paths to silicon, network systems, and wireless networking.

Details about the various Design Seminars, along with abstract submission instructions and forms, can be found here.
