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.
Topics:
The EUC-2015 conference will provide a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government to address all challenges including technical, safety, social, and legal issues related to embedded and ubiquitous computing and to present and discuss their ideas, results, work-in-progress and experience on all aspects of embedded and ubiquitous computing.
