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:

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: July 20, 2011 (Extended Firm Deadline)
