Embedded systems are closely related to our daily life, which reside
from smart appliances to unmanned trains. As the fastest growing
industry, embedded systems will have great societal and environmental
impacts. Therefore, the design and implementation of safe and
efficient embedded software and systems have utmost importance.

The 6th IEEE International Conferences on Embedded Software and
Systems (ICESS'09) will come back to Hangzhou again after the sequence
of ICESS'04 in Hangzhou, China; ICESS'05 in Xi'an, China; ICESS'06 in
Shanghai, China; and ICESS'07 in Daegu, Korea and ICESS'08 in Chengdu,
China. Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province. The famous
Chinese saying "Above is heaven, below is Hangzhou" pretty well
describes the glamorous city of Hangzhou! With the world famous West
Lake and its amazing scenery and fascinating cultural attractions,
Hangzhou is indeed "Haven on Earth"!

The goal of ICESS09 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers
and researchers to discuss and exchange novel ideas, results,
experiences and work-in-process on all aspects of embedded software
and systems.
