  All papers must be written in English and submitted electronically through  http://icess2008.comp.polyu.edu.hk. A submission should include an abstract,5-10 keywords,the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 15 pages, including tables and figures, with PDF format. The material must not be published or under submission  elsewhere. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper  be accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the conference to present the work in  order that the accepted papers can be put into the digital library of IEEE CS (indexed by EI  Compendex). The selected best papers will be published in special issues of Journal of  Embedded Computing (JEC), International Journal of Embedded Systems, International Journal  of High Performance Computing and Networking and Journal of System-on-Chip.
