Embedded software has become a necessity in almost every aspect
of the daily lives of individuals and organizations, from
self-contained applications to those embedded in various devices
and services (mobile phones, vital sign sensors, medication
dispensers, home appliances, engine ignition systems, etc). A
large proportion of these systems are mission/life critical and
performance sensitive.

The 14th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time
Computing Systems and Applications (RTCSA 2008) will bring
together researchers and developers from academia and industry
for advancing the technology of embedded and real-time systems,
and ubiquitous computing applications. The conference has the
following goals: to investigate advances in embedded and
real-time systems and ubiquitous computing applications; to
promote interaction among the areas of embedded computing,
real-time computing and ubiquitous computing; to evaluate the
maturity and directions of embedded and real-time system and
ubiquitous computing technology. RTCSA2008 invites submissions
of papers presenting a high quality original research and
development for the conference tracks: (1) Real-time Systems,
(2) Ubiquitous Computing, and (3) Embedded Systems.

The 14th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time
Computing Systems and Applications (RTCSA 2008) will be held in
Kaohsiung, Taiwan -- The capital of Sea. Similar to earlier
RTCSA conference, there will be three days parallel tracks
program, satellite workshops/tutorials, and panel discussion.
