WORKSHOP SCOPE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Embedded  and  ubiquitous computing  systems  have  considerably 
increased their scope of  application  over the past few  years, 
and they  include nowadays  also mission-  and business-critical 
scenarios. The advances call for a variety of  compelling issues, 
including dependability,  real-time, autonomy, resource constra-
ints, seamless interaction, etc.
SEUS 2008 will be a forum  where researchers  and  practitioners 
with substantial experiences and serious interests in  advancing 
the state-of-the-art  and the  state-of-practice in the field of
future  embedded  and  ubiquitous computing  systems gather  and 
engage in review of  the state-of-the-art,  exchange of signifi-
cant developments,  and  brain-storming on  promising directions 
for future research.
SEUS 2007, the first edition sponsored by IFIP, was held in con-
junction  with  the  IEEE International  Symposium  on  Object-, 
component-,  service-oriented  Real-time  Distributed  Computing 
(ISORC).  SEUS 2008  will be held as a stand-alone event for the 
first time and sponsored by IFIP WG10.2.
Seats  will  be limited to 55.   When a paper  is co-authored by 
professor(s)  and student(s),  the paper  must be presented by a 
professor.
For inclusion in the workshop  program,  contributions that pre-
sent  advances  in integrating the fields  of embedded computing 
and ubiquitous systems  are invited.  Industrial applications in
the emerging field are also encouraged.  Papers can be of a con-
ceptual, theoretical,  application-oriented,  standards-driving,
innovative design or  experimental nature,  and should represent
technological or scientific advances. 

Topics  of  interest  include  (but  are not restricted  to) the 
following: 

* Emerging applications, components and services 
* Emerging infrastructural support 
* Software architecture and programming models 
* Communication system architecture 
* Middleware and Operating Systems
* Software Engineering, Context Awareness 
* Self-Organization and Organic Computing
* Dependability and/or real-time aspects
* Autonomy, resource management
* Human-machine interfaction, seamless interaction
* Embedded software synthesis and verification
* Reports on R&D progress in the field 
* Specification of requirements 
* Emerging tools and trends 
* Emerging standards (or the need for new standards) 
* Practical experiences, particularly from industry 
* Government strategies


GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPTS
----------------------------------------------------------------
The conference proceedings will  be published by Springer Verlag 
in  the   Lecture  Notes  in  Computer  Science   (LNCS)  series 
(www.springer.com/lncs). Regular and short papers should descri-
be original work,  and they should follow Springer Verlag's LNCS 
manuscript guidelines, available at: 
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. 

The page limits of  camera-ready copies are 12 pages for regular 
papers and 6 pages for short papers.

Paper  submissions will  be handled  electronically through  the 
paper submission system available at:
https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/SEUS2008
