Call for PhD Forum Papers: 13th IEEE/IFIP International Conferences on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC-2015)
13th IEEE/IFIP International Conferences on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC-2015)
Porto, Portugal | October 21-23, 2015. | http://www.fe.up.pt/euc2015
EUC's PhD Forum welcomes two types of submissions. First, the forum is intended to be a venue for PhD students to present their innovative (but still preliminary) work and receive early feedback from other researchers. Second, it is intended to provide PhD students in the final stages of their work with an opportunity to give a broad overview of their work and draw more attention to it from the academic and industrial worlds.
PhD Forum authors are invited to submit 4 to 6-page papers in IEEE double column format.
We strongly suggest that those papers include clear descriptions of key thesis criteria, such as motivation, objectives, problem definition, addressed solutions, current status, and planned work. Contributions to the forum based on preliminary results or work in progress are particularly encouraged. Papers accepted to the PhD Forum (4 to 6 pages) will be published in the conference proceedings and presented at a special session during the conference.

Overview:
Embedded and ubiquitous computing is an exciting paradigm that promises to provide computing and communication services to the end users all the time and everywhere. Its systems are now invading every aspect of our daily life and promise to revolutionize our life much more profoundly than electric motors or even personal computer evolution ever did. The emergence of this technology is a natural outcome of research and technological advances in a variety of areas including embedded systems, pervasive computing and communications, wireless networks, mobile computing, distributed computing and agent technologies.
The 13th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC-2015) is the next event, in a series of highly successful international conferences on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing. EUC 2015 will take place in Porto, Portugal. The conference will be held from 21 to 23 October, 2015.
