International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC-04)
August 26-28, 2004, Aizu, Japan

http://oscar.u-aizu.ac.jp/EUC2004

AIM AND SCOPE:

Embedded and Ubiquitous computing are emerging rapidly as exciting new
paradigms and disciples to provide computing and communication services
all the time, everywhere. Its systems are now invading every aspect of
life to the point that they are disappearing inside all sorts of
appliances or can be worn unobtrusively as part of clothing and jewelry
etc.

This emergence is a natural outcome of research and technological
advances in embedded systems, pervasive computing and communications,
wireless networks, mobile computing, distributed computing and agent
technologies, etc. Its explosive impact on academics, industry,
government and daily life can be compared to that of electric motors
over the past century but promises to revolutionize life much more
profoundly than elevators, electric motors or even personal computer
evolution ever did.

The EUC-04 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 Track:
- Embedded Hardware and Software
- Embedded System Architecture
- Hardware/Software Co-design
- Real-time Systems
- Testing and Verification
- Application-specific Processors and Devices
- Power-aware Computing
- System/Network-on-Chip
- Sensor Networks
- Applications

Ubiquitous Computing Track:
- Pervasive Computing and Communications
- Distributed Computing
- Middleware
- Internet Computing and Applications
- Multimedia Systems
- Peer-to-Peer Communication
- Network Protocols
- Wireless Communication and Networks
- Agents and Mobile Computing
- Security and Fault Tolerant Systems
- User Interface Technologies,
- Human-computer Interaction
- Applications


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submissions should include an abstract, 5-10 keywords, the e-mail
address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 25 pages,
including tables and figures, with PDF, PostScript, or MS Word format.
Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should
the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the
conference to present the work.

Submissions to EUC-04 will be conducted electronically to the EUC-04
submission site. Authors unable to access e-mail may send 4 hard copies
of their papers to:

Prof. Laurence T. Yang
Department of Computer Science
St. Francis Xavier University
Antigonish, B2G 2W5, NS, Canada
Email: lyang@stfx.ca

Camera-ready copy:       June 14, 2004
Author registration:     June 21, 2004
Conference: August 26-28, 2004

PUBLICATION

The accepted papers have to be presented orally within 25 minute
included discussion at the conference and will be published in
proceedings of the EUC-04 conference by Springer-Verlag's Lecture Note
in Computer Science (LNCS). The selected best papers will be published
in special issues of Journal of Embedded Computing (JEC) and
Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications (JPCC).

BEST PAPER AWARDS

The program committee will select one winner for the Best Paper Award
(all regular papers are eligible) and one winner for the Best Student
Paper Award (only the regular papers whose first author is a full-time
student are eligible). Each winner will be presented at the conference
with a certificate and US$300.
