computing systems, arising from new technologies (e.g.,
nanotechnology), new applications (e.g., ubiquitous computing,
embedded internet tools), new principle (e.g., embedded engineering),
etc.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION:

Go to the conference web site to submit papers.

Submitted papers should represent original, substantive research
results. We will not accept any paper which, at the time of
submission, is under review for or has already been published (or
accepted) for publication in another conference or journal venue.

Submissions should include an abstract with 5-10 keywords, the e-mail
address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 20 pages,
including tables and figures, in PDF format. Submission of a paper
should be regarded as assurance that, should the paper be accepted, at
least one of the authors should attend the conference to present the
work.


Contributions will be reviewed by at least three reviewers from both
Program Committee and external reviewers for relevance and technical
contents on basis of papers. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE
Computer Society Press. Selected papers will be published on a special
issue of Journal of Embedded Computing from IOS Press, The
Netherlands.
