Editorial Editorial: Early Career Researchers in Embedded Computing As new professionals enter their independent careers as researchers and engineers in the indus- tries, or as faculty at research universities, they are always confronted with a multitude of choices regarding their career path. Strategies for getting projects funded, count versus depth in publica- tion, and the journal-versus-conference dilemma are quite common. This year at the ACM/IEEE Design Automation conference in San Francisco, Aviral Shrivastava and Andreas Gerstlauer, in- dustry researcher Sherie Taylor, and IEEE CEDA representative Shishpal Rawat, who also spent his career in the industry, organized a very relevant 1-day workshop for new faculty and researchers from industry and government titled “Early Career Workshop.” Even though it was in the context of a design automation career, embedded computing is important in multiple areas, and I feel that it is relevant to dedicate this editorial on the lessons learnt from this workshop. The first panel on “Academic Career Challenges,” chaired by Todd Austin, reflected on the spe- cific career challenges he and four other faculty members faced while working towards establish- ing their careers. The most interesting point made concerned how much to write in the early days of one’s career. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS) Association for Computing Machinery

Abstract

Editorial: Early Career Researchers in Embedded Computing As new professionals enter their independent careers as researchers and engineers in the indus- tries, or as faculty at research universities, they are always confronted with a multitude of choices regarding their career path. Strategies for getting projects funded, count versus depth in publica- tion, and the journal-versus-conference dilemma are quite common. This year at the ACM/IEEE Design Automation conference in San Francisco, Aviral Shrivastava and Andreas Gerstlauer, in- dustry researcher Sherie Taylor, and IEEE CEDA representative Shishpal Rawat, who also spent his career in the industry, organized a very relevant 1-day workshop for new faculty and researchers from industry and government titled “Early Career Workshop.” Even though it was in the context of a design automation career, embedded computing is important in multiple areas, and I feel that it is relevant to dedicate this editorial on the lessons learnt from this workshop. The first panel on “Academic Career Challenges,” chaired by Todd Austin, reflected on the spe- cific career challenges he and four other faculty members faced while working towards establish- ing their careers. The most interesting point made concerned how much to write in the early days of one’s career.
