*SCOPE*

As the fastest growing industry, embedded systems have great societal and environmental impacts. Embedded software and systems have been crucial to our daily life, ranging from smart appliances to unmanned trains/vehicles. Therefore, the design and implementation of safe and efficient embedded software and systems have utmost importance. IEEE ICESS is an international forum for researchers and developers from academia, industry and government to present and discuss the science, engineering, technology and emerging ideas and trends of embedded software and systems.

Successful submissions should contain significant novel ideas and technical results, which have not been published or concurrently submitted to any other venue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. Systems, Models and Algorithms (SMA)

• Embedded System Architecture
• Embedded Software Architectures
• Embedded OS, Scheduling and Runtime Support
• Embedded Storage and I/O Systems
• Real-Time Embedded Systems
• Distributed and Networked Embedded Systems
• Fault Tolerant and Trusted Embedded Systems
• Mixed-Critical Embedded Systems
• Heterogeneous SoC and Multicore Embedded Systems
• Power and Thermal Aware Computing
• Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing
• Reconfigurable Embedded Computing

2. Design Methodology and Tools (DMT)

• Design Technologies of Embedded Systems
• Formal Methods for Embedded Systems
• Middleware for Embedded Systems
• IDE and Software Tools
• Hardware/Software Co-Design
• Component-Based Embedded Software Design
• Model-based Design for Embedded Software
• Domain/Application-Specific Design Techniques
• Testing Techniques for Embedded Software/Systems
• Verification and Validation for Embedded Systems
• Compilation and Debug Techniques and Tools
• Performance Evaluation Techniques and Tools

3. Emerging Embedded Applications and Interdisciplinary Topics (EIT)

• Intelligent Embedded Systems
• Robotics and Control Systems
• Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)
• Cyber-Physical Systems
• Embedded Automotive, Medical and Avionics Systems
• Embedded Database & Multimedia Systems
• QoS Support for Embedded Systems
• Embedded Network Protocol and Security

• Consumer Electronics
• Mobile Cloud Computing

Industrial Practices and Case Studies

*PAST HISTORY*

The ICESS-2015 conference is the next event in a series of highly successful international conferences on embedded software and systems, held as ICESS 2014 (Paris, France, August 2014), ICESS 2013 (Sydney, Australia, December 2013), ICESS 2012(Liverpool, England, UK, June 2012), ICESS 2011 (Changsha, China, November 2011), ICESS 2010 (Bradford, UK, July 2010), ICESS 2009 (Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, May 2009), etc.

*SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS*

Submitted manuscripts should be written in English conforming to the IEEE conference proceedings format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column, template available at http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). Manuscripts should not exceed 8 pages, including tables, figures and references. All paper submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through EasyChair at the following web pages https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icess2015.

*PUBLICATIONS*

The accepted papers from this conference will be published by IEEE Computer Society in IEEE proceedings (indexed by EI Compendex). Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be considered for possible publication in several SCI & EI indexed special issues of prestigious international journals. By submitting a paper to the conference, authors assure that if the paper is accepted, at least one author will attend the conference and present the paper.
