7th Workshop on Intelligent Solutions in Embedded Systems (WISES 09)
Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy
June 25-26, 2009

http://www.wises09.univpm.it/

Embedded systems have an increasing importance in our everyday lives.
The growing complexity of embedded systems and the emerging trend to
interconnections between them lead to new challenges. Intelligent
solutions are necessary to overcome these challenges and to provide
reliable and secure systems to the customer under a strict time and
financial budget. WISES 2009 is a platform for presentation of
innovative approaches that provide intelligent solutions in embedded
systems. The objective of this workshop is to present mature approaches
and to provide a forum for the exchange and discussion of ideas, and
thus, the sharing of experiences among researchers, practitioners, and
application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers
addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of embedded systems
are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and
deployments of embedded systems are particularly welcome. In order to
provide young researchers a forum to exchange their ideas WISES
2009 will include a special session for PhD-Students.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Smart embedded (real-time) systems
- Autonomous embedded systems
- Sensor networks and sensor node hardware/software platforms
- Networking in embedded Systems
- Software for embedded systems
- Topology control and time synchronization
- Power aware embedded systems
- Fault tolerance, security and robustness
- Standardization of embedded software components
- Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination
- Prototypes, applications, field studies and testbed

Special Session:
- Embedded systems for automotive

The workshop is open to other special sections to be proposed to the
General Chairman and Steering Committee.

The working language of the workshop is English. Prospective authors
are invited to submit new original research papers of a maximum length
of 5000 words. Submissions will only be accepted electronically via
WISES homepage in PDF format. All submitted papers are peer-reviewed.
Accepted papers will be published in printed proceedings. The papers
will be made accessible via world-wide web and via IEEE Digital Library
(pending approval). Each paper must must be presented by one of the
authors at the workshop.
