5th IFIP Workshop on Software Technologies for Future Embedded & Ubiquitous Systems, Santorini Island, Griechenland

The application domain of both embedded computing and ubiquitous systems have explosive growth over the past few years&#046; Given the advances in these fields, and also those in the areas of distributed computing, sensor networks, middleware, etc&#046;, the area of ubiquitous embedded computing is now being envisioned as the way of the future&#046; The systems and technologies that will arise in support of ubiquitous embedded computing will undoubtedly need to arise a variety of issues, including dependability, real&#8211;time, human&#8211;computer interaction, autonomy, resource constraints, etc&#046; All of these requirements pose a challenge to the research community&#046; The purpose of SEUS 2007 is to bring together researchers and practitioners with an interest in advancing the state&#8211;of&#8211;the&#8211;art and the state&#8211;of&#8211;practice in this emerging field, with the hope of fostering new ideas, collaborations and technologies&#046; <b>Keywords:</b> # Emerging applications, components and services<br># Emerging infrastructural support<br># Software architecture and programming models<br># Communication system architecture<br># Middleware, Operating Systems, Software Engineering, Context Awareness<br># Reports on R&D progress in the field<br># Specification of requirements<br># Emerging tools and trends<br># Emerging standards (or the need for new standards)<br># Practical experiences, particularly from industry<br># Government strategie<br>
