Introduction
============

Embedded and ubiquitous computing is an exciting new paradigm that
provides computing
and communication services all the time and everywhere. Its systems are
now affecting
every aspect of our life to the point that they are hidden inside
various appliances.
This emergence is a natural outcome of research and technological
advances in embedded
systems, pervasive computing and communications, wireless networks,
mobile computing,
distributed computing and agent technologies, etc.

Scope and Interests
===================

The EUC 2008 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 Track:
*Embedded System Software & Optimization
*Embedded System Architecture
*Hardware/Software Co-design & Design Automation
*Real-time & Operating Systems
*Application-specific Processors and Devices
*Power-aware Computing
*Sensor Networks
*System/Network-on-Chip
*Reconfigurable Computing Applications
*Cyber-physical systems
*Others and emerging new topics

*************************************************

Submission Information
======================

Submissions should include abstract, 5-10 keywords, and the e-mail address
of the corresponding author and be in PDF format. Each submission must not
exceed 8 pages in the IEEE 8.5’’ x 11’’ two-column format with 10-12 point
font, including tables and figures. Each submission should be regarded as
an undertaking that, should the submission be accepted, at least one of the
authors must attend the conference to present the work in order that the
accepted paper can be put into digital library. The final version of an
accepted paper will be limited to 8 pages in IEEE proceeding format.
