   The 14th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time
           Computing Systems and Applications (RTCSA 2008)

                        August 25 to 27, 2008
                          Kaohsiung, Taiwan

      Embedded software has become a necessity in almost every aspect
      of the daily lives of individuals and organizations, from
      self-contained applications to those embedded in various devices
      and services (mobile phones, vital sign sensors, medication
      dispensers, home appliances, engine ignition systems, etc). A
      large proportion of these systems are mission/life critical and
      performance sensitive. 

      The 14th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time
      Computing Systems and Applications (RTCSA 2008) will bring
      together researchers and developers from academia and industry
      for advancing the technology of embedded and real-time systems,
      and ubiquitous computing applications. The conference has the
      following goals: to investigate advances in embedded and
      real-time systems and ubiquitous computing applications; to
      promote interaction among the areas of embedded computing,
      real-time computing and ubiquitous computing; to evaluate the
      maturity and directions of embedded and real-time system and
      ubiquitous computing technology.  RTCSA2008 invites submissions
      of papers presenting a high quality original research and
      development for the conference tracks: (1) Real-time Systems,
      (2) Ubiquitous Computing, and (3) Embedded Systems.

      The 14th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time
      Computing Systems and Applications (RTCSA 2008) will be held in
      Kaohsiung, Taiwan -- The captial of Sea. Similar to earlier
      RTCSA conference, there will be three days parallel tracks
      program, satellite workshops/tutorials, and panel discussion.  

General Information for Kaohsiung, Taiwan: 

      Kaohsiung is situated on southern coast of Taiwan, facing the
      Taiwan Strait to the west and, beyond the southern tip of the
      island, the Bashi Channel to the south. It sits across vital
      sea lanes connecting port facilities. Proximity to the sea gives
      Kaohsiung a warm, sunny climate all year-round. As the second
      largest city in Taiwan and world's sixth-largest container
      harbor in the world, Kaohsiung has developed rapidly in recent
      years and is quickly acquiring the attributes of the modern,
      international metropolis. This bustling harbor city not only has
      a superb location and enchanting natural surroundings, but also
      friendly people who welcome visitors with the utmost warmth and
      hospitality.

Scopes:

      Following the tradition of RTCSA, the conference has three
      tracks: embedded systems, real-time systems, and ubiquitious
      computing.
