Topic: A3 Automotive Systems and Smart Energy Systems 

This topic covers works that describe design experiences for automotive systems, smart energy systems, energy scavenging and harvesting for embedded systems, and related applications. This includes analogue and mixed-signal integrated circuits, micro-electromechanical systems, high voltage structures, integrated sensors and transducers, RF architectures, in-vehicle networks, systems for electric vehicles, networks of systems (including car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure networks), and innovative concepts for power distribution, energy storage, and grid monitoring. Furthermore, this topic also includes design methods including models and tools, design of hardware and software components, architecture analysis and optimization, component-oriented design and system-level analysis and validation. Finally, topics of interest are also hardware and software solutions for run-time system management, including self-diagnostics and repair, energy generation, energy saving, novel energy harvesting, battery management, renewable energy subsystems, and optimization of system energy efficiency.
