SIES 2008 Call for Papers: **Final Deadline Extension for Long Papers: Feb. 18**

Dear All,

Due to numerous late requests, the SIES'2008 long papers deadline has been
postponed to Feb. 18.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| CALL FOR PAPERS |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| SIES'2008 |
| IEEE Third Symposium on Industrial Embedded Systems |
| June 11- 13, 2008 |
| Montpellier - La Grande Motte, FRANCE |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Conference web site:

http://www.lirmm.fr/SIES2008/

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sponsored by:
IEEE Industrial Electronics Society
LIRMM CNRS/University of Montpellier II


AIM
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers and practitioners
from industry and academia and provide them with a platform to report on
recent developments, deployments, technology trends and research results, as
well as initiatives related to embedded systems and their applications in a
variety of industrial environments.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

BACKGROUND
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Application domains have had a considerable impact on the evolution of
embedded systems, in terms of required methodologies and supporting tools
and resulting technologies. SoCs and SoPC are slowly making inroads into the
area of industrial automation to implement complex field-area intelligent
devices which integrate the intelligent sensor/actuator functionality by
providing on-chip signal conversion, data processing, and communication
functions. There is a growing tendency to network field-area intelligent
devices around industrial type of communication networks. Similar trends
appear in the automotive electronic systems where the Electronic Control
Units, typically implemented as heterogeneous system-on-chip, are networked
by means of one safety-critical communication protocol. The design of this
kind of networked embedded systems (this includes also hard real-time
industrial control systems) is a challenge in itself due to the distributed
nature of processing elements, sharing common communication medium, and
safety-critical requirements, to mention some.
------------------------------------------------------------------------


TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics within the scope of the symposium will include, but are not limited
to:
-Embedded Systems
-System-on-Chip and Network-on-Chip Design & Testing
-Networked Embedded Systems
-Embedded Applications
-Multi-Processors Systems-on-Chips
-Sensors networks and ubiquitous computing
-Application of Reconfigurable and Adaptive Systems
-Automotive / Avionics systems
-Fault-tolerant embedded systems and applications
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOLICITED PAPERS :
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Long Papers - limited to 8 double column pages.
- Industry Practice (IP)– limited to 8 double column pages.
- Work-in-Progress (WIP)– limited to 4 double column pages.

Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in PDF format, according to the
instructions contained in the Symposium web site.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

AUTHOR'S SCHEDULE (Deadlines):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deadline for submission of proposals for long papers: Feb 18, 2008 **FINAL
DEADLINE EXTENSION**
Notification of acceptance for long papers: Apr 1,2008
Final manuscripts for long papers submission: Apr 22,2008

Deadline for WIP and IP papers: Mar 28, 2008
**EXTENDED DEADLINE**

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPECIAL SESSION ORGANIZATION :
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To enhance the technical program and focus on specific topics and areas, the
SIES'2008 Symposium will include special sessions, in addition to regular
ones. Special sessions can cover subjects or cross-subjects belonging to the
topics of interest, or novel topics related with the ones identified within
the topics of interest. Special sessions can also have the drive from
specific R&D projects or clusters of projects, namely EU-sponsored R&D
projects.
