Call for Papers

Agents and Distributed Computing track of the 7th IEEE/IFIP  
International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC-09)
http://cse.stfx.ca/~euc09/
St Francis Xavier University, Vancouver, Canada, August 29-31, 2009

Embedded and ubiquitous computing is an exciting paradigm that  
promises to provide computing and communication services to the end  
users all the time and everywhere. Its systems are now invading in  
every aspect of our daily life and promise to revolutionize our life  
much more profoundly than elevators, electric motors or even personal  
computer evolution ever did. The emergence of this technology is a  
natural outcome of research and technological advances in a variety of  
areas including embedded systems, pervasive computing and  
communications, wireless networks, mobile computing, distributed  
computing and agent technologies.

SCOPE AND INTERESTS

The EUC-09 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:

* Embedded System Software and Optimization
* Embedded System Architectures
* Hardware/Software Co-design and Design Automation
* Real-Time Systems and Operating Systems
* Application-Specific Processors and Devices
* Power-Aware Computing
* Sensor Networks
* System/Network-on-Chip
* Reconfigurable Computing Systems and Applications
* Cyber-Physical Systems

UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING:

* Pervasive Computing and Communications
* Middleware and Peer-to-Peer Computing
* Internet Computing and Applications
* Multimedia and Data Management
* Human-Computer Interaction
* Network Protocols
* Wireless Communication & Networks
* Mobile Computing
* Agents and Distributed Computing
* Security and Fault Tolerance Applications

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper Submission Deadline: April 15 , 2009
Author Notification: May 25 , 2009
Final Manuscript Due: June 15, 2009

ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION

Prepare your paper with free styles not more than 15 pages in PDF  
file. Submit your paper(s) at the EUC-09 submission site: http://cse.stfx.ca/~euc09/sub/ 
  Each submission should be regarded as an undertaking that, if the  
paper be accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the  
conference to present the work in order for the paper to be included  
in the IEEE Digital Library.

PAPER PUBLICATIONS

Accepted papers will be published in proceedings of the EUC-09  
conference by IEEE Computer Society. Selected bested papers will be  
recommended for publication in special issues of Journal of Embedded  
Computing, International Journal of Embedded Systems, International  
Journal of Parallel, Emergent and Distributed Systems and several SCI- 
indexed journals. One best paper in embedded and ubiquitous themes  
will be selected.
