*************** EUC-09 Call for Papers and Workshop Proposals **********

The 7th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on
Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC-09)

http://cse.stfx.ca/~euc09/
Sponsored by IEEE and IFIP
Vancouver, Canada, August 29-31, 2009
************************************************************************

INTRODUCTION
============

Embedded and ubiquitous computing is an exciting paradigm that promises
to provide computing
and communication services to the end users all the time and everywhere.
Its systems are now
invading in every aspect of our daily life and promise to revolutionize
our life much more
profoundly than elevators, electric motors or even personal computer
evolution ever did.
The emergence of this technology is a natural outcome of research and
technological advances
in a variety of areas including embedded systems, pervasive computing
and communications,
wireless networks, mobile computing, distributed computing and agent
technologies.

EUC-09 is the next event, in a series of highly successful International
Conferences on Embedded
and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC), previously held as ICDCS-ECS04 (Tokyo,
Japan, March 2004),
EUC-04 (Aizu, Japan, August 2004), EUC-05 (Nagasaki, Japan, December
2005), EUC-06 (Seoul ,Korea,
August 2006), EUC-07 (Taipei, Taiwan, December 2007) and EUC-08
(Shanghai, China,
December 2008).


TOPICS
======

The EUC-09 conference provides a forum for engineers and scientists in
academia, industry,
and government to address all resulting profound challenges including
technical, safety,
social, legal, political, and economic issues, and to present and
discuss their ideas,
results, work in progress and experience on all aspects of embedded and
ubiquitous computing.

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

EMBEDDED COMPUTING:
* Embedded System Software and Optimization
* Embedded System Architectures
* Hardware/Software Co-design and Design Automation
* Real-Time Systems and Operating Systems
* Application-Specific Processors and Devices
* Power-Aware Computing
* Sensor Networks
* System/Network-on-Chip
* Reconfigurable Computing Systems and Applications
* Cyber-Physical Systems

UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING:
* Pervasive Computing and Communications
* Middleware and Peer-to-Peer Computing
* Internet Computing and Applications
* Multimedia and Data Management
* Human-Computer Interaction
* Network Protocols
* Wireless Communication & Networks
* Mobile Computing
* Agents and Distributed Computing
* Security and Fault Tolerance Applications


IMPORTANT DATES
===============

Workshop Proposal: March 01, 2009
Submission Deadline: April 15, 2009
Authors Notification: May 25, 2009
Final Manuscript Due: June 15, 2009


ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION
=====================

Prepare your paper with free styles not more than 15 pages in PDF file.
Submit your paper(s) at
the EUC-09 submission site: http://cse.stfx.ca/~euc09/sub/

Each submission should be regarded as an undertaking that, if the paper
be accepted, at least
one of the authors must attend the conference to present the work in
order for the paper to be
included in the IEEE Digital Library.

PAPER PUBLICATION
=================

Accepted papers will be published in proceedings of the EUC-09
conference by IEEE Computer
Society. Selected bested papers will be recommended for publication in
special issues of Journal
of Embedded Computing (JEC), International Journal of Embedded Systems
(IJES), International
Journal of Parallel, Emergent and Distributed Systems and several
SCI-indexed journals.

One best paper each in embedded and ubiquitous themes will be selected.


WORKSHOP PROPOSAL
=================

In conjunction with the EUC-09 conference, several workshops will be
held. Please submit a
workshop proposal including call for papers, organizing committee,
important dates, short bio of
the organizers to the EUC-09 workshop chairs before March 01, 2009.
Proceedings of EUC-09
workshops will be published by IEEE CS Press. The workshops with more
than 15 papers will be
granted with a free complimentary registration for the leading workshop
organizer.
