Submitted papers should represent original, substantive research results. We will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under review for or has already been published (or accepted) for publication in another conference or journal venue. Submissions should include an abstract with 5-10 keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 20 pages, including tables and figures, in PDF format. Submission of a paper should be regarded as assurance that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors should attend the conference to present the work. Contributions will be reviewed by at least three reviewers from both Program Committee and external reviewers for relevance and technical contents on basis of papers. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Selected papers will be published on a special issue of Journal of Embedded Computing from IOS Press, The Netherlands.
