ICESS-11

The main conference: The 8th IEEE International Conference on Embedded Software and Systems (IEEE ICESS-11) http://trust.csu.edu.cn/conference/icess2011 2 symposiums/workshops (IWCSEI 2011 and ESA 2011) in conjunction with ICESS 2011: See "Symposiums/Workshops" at: http://trust.csu.edu.cn/conference/icess2011/ Organizers: School of Information Science and Engineering & School of Software, Central South University, China Venue & Dates: Changsha, China, November 16-18, 2011 Introduction Embedded software and 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 8th IEEE International Conference on Embedded Software and Systems (IEEE ICESS-11) will be held in Changsha, China in November 16-18, 2011. It follows the success of IEEE ICESS-10 in Bradford, United Kingdom. The goal of IEEE ICESS-11 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange novel ideas, results, experiences and work-in-progress on all aspects of embedded software and systems. Scope and Interests IEEE ICESS-11 is an international forum for presenting and discussing emerging ideas and trends in embedded software and systems from both the research community as well as the industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Systems, Models and Algorithms Track Chairs: Rodolfo Pellizzoni, University of Waterloo, Canada Hui Wu, The University of New South Wales, Australia (1) Embedded Real-Time Systems (2) Embedded Hardware and Architectures (3) Embedded Software/Agent (4) Power Aware Computing (5) Distributed Embedded Computing (6) Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing (7) Fault Tolerant & Trusted Embedded Systems (8) System on Chip (SoC) and Multicore Systems (9) Embedded Real-Time Operating Systems (10) Mobile Computing (11) Reconfigurable Computing (12) Cyber-Physical Systems Design Methodology and Tools Track Chairs: Dakai Zhu, University of Texas at San Antonio, USA Yongxin Zhu, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China (1) Hardware/Software Co-Design (2) Formal Methods for Embedded Systems (3) Embedded Component Technology (4) Middleware for Embedded Systems (5) Hardware/Software Co-Verification (6) Compilation and Debug Techniques (7) IDE and Software Tools (8) Performance Evaluation Techniques/Tools Embedded Applications and Interdisciplinary Topics Track Chairs: Keqiu Li, Dalian University of Technology, China Salvatore Vitabile, University of Palermo, Italy (1) Intelligent Embedded Systems (2) Image and Graph Processing (3) Network Protocol and Security (4) Emergency and Disaster Management (5) Wireless Sensor Networks (6) Robotics and Control Systems (7) QoS Support for Embedded Systems (8) Embedded Database & Multimedia Systems (9) Consumer Electronics (10) Automotive, Medical and Avionics Systems Submission and Publication Information The accepted papers from this conference will be published by IEEE Computer Society in IEEE proceedings (indexed by EI Compendex and ISTP). Papers should be written in English conforming to the IEEE standard conference format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column). Papers should describe original work not previously published and not currently submitted elsewhere. Papers should be submitted through the paper submission system at the conference website. Each paper is limited to 8 pages (or 12 pages with the over length charge). Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in two special issues: (1) Elsevier's Journal of Systems Architecture (JSA); (2) IEICE's Transactions on Information and Systems, both to be indexed by SCI and EI. The program committee will select two winners for the Best Paper Awards for this conference. Submitting a paper to the conference means that, if the paper is accepted, at least one author should attend the conference and present the paper. For no-show authors, their papers will be removed from the IEEE Computer Society digital library after the conference and their affiliations will be notified. Important Dates (1) Paper submission due: June 30, 2011 (2) Notification of decision: August 30, 2011 (3) Camera-ready papers due: September 30, Honorary Chair Lijian Tao, Vice President of Central South University, China Steering Co-Chairs Laurence T.
