RTCSA 2012 - The 18th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications

RTCSA 2012
The 18th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and
Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications
http://rtcsa.konkuk.ac.kr/
August 20 - 22, 2012
Seoul, Korea
SUBMISSION DEADLINE : Apr 16, 2012, 12:00 (noon) GMT+9
Embedded software has become a necessity in almost every aspect of the daily lives of individuals and organizations, from self-contained applications to those embedded in various devices and services (mobile phones, vital sign sensors, medication dispensers, home appliances, engine ignition systems, etc). A large proportion of these systems are mission/life critical and performance sensitive.
The 18th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications (RTCSA 2012) will bring together researchers and developers from academia and industry for advancing the technology of embedded and real-time systems, and ubiquitous computing applications. The conference has the following goals: to investigate advances in embedded and real-time systems and ubiquitous computing applications; to promote interaction among the areas of embedded computing, real-time computing and ubiquitous computing; to evaluate the maturity and directions of embedded and real-time system and ubiquitous computing technology. RTCSA 2012 invites submissions of papers presenting a high quality original research and development for the conference tracks: (1) Embedded Systems, (2) Real-time Systems, and (3) Ubiquitous Computing/Cyber-physical Systems.
SCOPES: Following the tradition of RTCSA, the conference has three tracks: embedded systems, real-time systems, and ubiquitous computing. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Regular Paper Submission:
The submitted manuscript must describe original work not previously published and not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Submissions should be no more than 10 pages in IEEE conference proceedings format (two-column, single-space, 10pt). The prospective authors should submit their papers on RTCSA 2012 paper submission site: http://rtcsa.konkuk.ac.kr/ (in preparation for now)
Work-in-Progress Session:
This session provides an opportunity for researchers attending RTCSA to present and discuss their research. This one hour event will feature concurrent short presentations by all participants organized in poster formats. More detailed information is available on the web.
