 Workshop : October 31 or November 1, 2026

This workshop focuses on domain specific system design in both hardware and software aspects and their interaction to improve the availability and efficiency in the emerging real-world applications.
The main theme of this workshop in this year is the HW/SW components for domain specific systems.
Topics of interest

•     Application analysis and workload characterization to design domain specific system for emerging applications, such as autonomous driving, IoT and health care applications.

•     Domain specific processor/system architectures and hardware features for domain specific systems;

•     Low-power, energy-efficient domain specific accelerator/system architectures for on-device AI systems

•     Hardware accelerators for domain specific systems;

•     Storage architectures for domain specific systems;

•     Experiences in domain specific system development;

•     Novel techniques to improve responsiveness by exploiting domain specific systems;

•     Novel techniques to improve performance/energy for domain specific systems;

•     Domain specific systems performance evaluation methodologies;

•     Application benchmarks for domain specific systems;

•     Enabling technologies for domain specific systems (smart edge devices, smart sensors, energy harvesting, sensor networks, sensor fusion etc.);

Submit a 2‐page presentation abstract to a web‐based submission system (https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/DoSSA2026) by September 1, 2026.

Notification of acceptance will be sent out by September 22, 2026. Final paper and presentation material (to be posted on the workshop web site) due October  13, 2026.
