Embedded  systems  have  an  increasing importance in our everyday
lives.  They run our cars and telephones, and production lines and
aircraft.  The  growing  complexity  of  embedded  systems and the
emerging  trend  to  interconnections  between  them  lead  to new
challenges.  Intelligent solutions are necessary to overcome these
challenges  and  to  provide  reliable  and  secure systems to the
customer under a strict time and financial budget.
WISES 2008 is a platform for presentation of innovative approaches
that  provide  intelligent  solutions  in  embedded  systems.  The
objective  of this workshop is to present mature approaches and to
provide  a  forum  for  the  exchange and discussion of ideas, and
thus, the sharing of experiences among researchers, practitioners,
and  application  developers  both  from  industry  and  academia.
Original  papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects
of  embedded  systems  are  solicited. Papers describing prototype
implementations   and   deployments   of   embedded   systems  are
particularly welcome.
In  order  to  provide young researchers a forum to exchange their
ideas  WISES 2008 will include a special session for PhD-Students.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

     * Smart embedded (real-time) systems
     * Autonomous embedded systems
     * Sensor networks and sensor node hardware/software platforms
     * Software for embedded systems
     * Topology control and time synchronization
     * Error tolerance, security and robustness
     * Network protocols and middleware for embedded systems
     * Standardization of embedded software components
     * Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination
     * Prototypes, applications, field studies and test

Important Deadlines and Dates

     * March 14,2008 - Manuscript Submission
     * April  4,2008 - Notification of Acceptance
     * May 2,   2008 - Pre-Registration

     * July 3/4,2008 - Workshop

Submission Instructions

The  working  language  of the conference is English.  Prospective
authors  are  invited to submit  new original research papers of a
maximum  length  of 5000 words.  Submissions will only be accepted
electronically    via    WISES    homepage    in    PDF    format.
Papers  submitted to  this workshop will be  double blind reviewed
by  at least two reviewers.  Acceptance will be based primarily on
originality and contribution.
Accepted  papers  will  be  published in printed proceedings.  The
papers  will  be  made  accessible via world-wide web and via IEEE
Digital Library (pending approval).  Authors of prospective papers
will be invited to submit their work to a special journal issue in
the EURASIP Journal on Embedded Systems.
