This symposium is to bring together computer scientists, industrial engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange experimental or theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the area of embedded computing include all aspects of embedded computing systems with emphasis on algorithms, systems, models, compilers, architectures, tools, design methodologies, test and applications. Scope and Topics Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: #Embedded System Architecture #Embedded Software Development and Optimization #Cyber-Physical Systems #Security and Fault Tolerance #Embedded Hardware Support #Hardware/Software Co-design #Real-time Systems #Power and Energy-aware Computing #Sensor Networks #Pervasive Computing & Communications #Middleware and Peer-to-Peer Computing #Internet Computing and Applications #Multimedia and Data Management #Human-computer Interaction #Mobile Computing #Agents and Distributed Computing #Application-specific Processors and Devices #Industrial Practices and Benchmark Suites #Supporting Technologies: SoC, FPGA, etc. #Embedded & Ubiquitous Applications Development #Emerging New Topics: New challenges for next generation embedded computing systems, arising from new technologies (e.g., nanotechnology), new applications (e.g., ubiquitous computing, embedded internet tools), new principle (e.g., embedded engineering), etc. Submission Guidelines Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for main conference, including tables and figures in IEEE CS format. The template files for LATEX or WORD can be downloaded here. All paper submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work. Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at the EmbeddedCom2011 submission site: http://cse.stfx.ca/~Embedded2011/sub/. Publications Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE Conference Proceedings published by IEEE CS Press. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers will be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE CS and EI after the conference. Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision, will be published in special issues of Journal of Systems Architecture, and other journals.
