Software Technologies For Embedded And Ubiquitous Systems

This book includes selected papers of the 6th IFIP WG 10.2 International Workshop on Software Technologies for Future Embedded and Ubiquitous Systems, SEUS 2008, held on Capri, Italy, in October 2008. The 38 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers are organized in topical sections on model-driven development; middleware; real time; quality of service and performance; applications; pervasive and mobile systems: wireless embedded systems; synthesis, verification and protection.

The 8th IFIP Workshop on Software Technologies for Embedded and Ubiq- tous Systems (SEUS 2010) in Waidhofen/Ybbs, Austria, October 13-15, 2010, succeeded the seven previous workshops in Newport Beach, USA (2009); Capri, Italy (2008); Santorini, Greece (2007); Gyeongju, Korea (2006); Seattle, USA (2005); Vienna, Austria (2004); and Hokodate, Japan (2003); installing SEUS as a successfully established workshop in the ?eld of embedded and ubiquitous systems. SEUS 2010 continued the tradition of fostering cross-community scienti?c excellence and establishing strong links between research and industry. SEUS 2010 provided a forum where researchers and practitioners with substantial - periences and serious interests in advancing the state of the art and the state of practice in the ?eld of embedded and ubiquitous computing systems gathered with the goal of fostering new ideas, collaborations, and technologies. The c- tributions in this volume present advances in integrating the ?elds of embedded computing and ubiquitous systems. The call for papers attracted 30 submissions from all around the world. Each submission was assigned to at least four members of the Program Committee for review. The Program Committee decided to accept 21 papers, which were arranged in eight sessions. The accepted papers are from Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Portugal, Taiwan, UK, and USA. Two keynotes complemented the strong technical program.

The 7th IFIP Workshop on Software Technologies for Future Embedded and Ubiquitous Systems (SEUS) followed on the success of six previous editions in Capri, Italy (2008), Santorini, Greece (2007), Gyeongju, Korea (2006), Seattle, USA (2005), Vienna, Austria (2004), and Hokodate, Japan (2003), establishing SEUS as one of the emerging workshops in the ?eld of embedded and ubiq- tous systems. SEUS 2009 continued the tradition of fostering cross-community scienti?c excellence and establishing strong links between researchand industry. The ?elds of both embedded computing and ubiquitous systems have seen considerable growth over the past few years. Given the advances in these ?elds, and also those in the areas of distributed computing, sensor networks, midd- ware, etc. , the area of ubiquitous embedded computing is now being envisioned as the wayof the future. The systems and technologies that will arise in support of ubiquitous embedded computing will undoubtedly need to address a variety of issues, including dependability, real-time, human–computer interaction, - tonomy, resource constraints, etc. All of these requirements pose a challenge to the research community. The purpose of SEUS 2009 was to bring together - searchersand practitioners with an interest in advancing the state of the artand the state of practice in this emerging ?eld, with the hope of fostering new ideas, collaborations and technologies. SEUS 2009 would not have been possible without the e?ort of many people.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 5th IFIP WG 10.2 International Workshop on Software Technologies for Future Embedded and Ubiquitous Systems, SEUS 2007, held in conjunction with ISORC 2007, the 10th IEEE International Symposium on Object/component/service-oriented Real-time Distributed Computing. Coverage includes ubiquitous computing frameworks, validation of embedded and ubiquitous systems, and ubiquitous computing applications.
