These ubiquitous media creates our consumer and brand environment and has been contributing extensively and more closed to our life experience, especially its applications in mobile and other embedded devices. Therefore, the media, embedded and especially their emergence technologies have become the art-to-state research topics and are expected to be the important roles of human life in the future. The 2011 IEEE International Workshop on “Ubiquitous Media and Embedded Systems” (UMES 2011) will address the broad challenges of integrating Ubiquitous Media technologies into everyday objects, devices and activities with ubiquitous computing and embedded systems. ==================== Scopes and Interests ==================== The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Track 1: Ubiquitous Media --- UM Modeling, Simulation and Design --- UM Coding, Processing, Communication, Services and Application --- Network Architecture, Protocols and Management for UM --- UM Device: energy conservation, Size Minimizing, and Hommization --- QoS and Performance’s Measurement and Evaluation in UM --- UM Security: Privacy, Trust, Encryption and Authentication --- Standards and Specification for UM --- Um Development, Fusion and Application in 3G, Sensor Network, IOT (Internet of Things), etc --- UM human-machine Interface and Interaction --- Game and Virtual Reality Technologies --- Media Streams Technology and application --- UM computing and Technologies in Embedded Systems --- New Features, Technologies and Current Challenges in UM Track 2: Embedded Systems --- Embedded System: Architecture, Protocol, Application and Specification --- Real-time Processor, Kernel, OS and Middleware for Embedded System --- Multi-core, Multi-threading, and Virtualization Design methods for Embedded System --- System-on-Chip and Network-on-Chip Design and Implement for Mobile Cellular Systems Future Development, IEEE 802 Systems Evolution, Spectrum policies, Satellite Systems, CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, 3G, etc --- Performance, Power, Reliability Analysis Methods for Embedded Systems --- Embedded Hardware/Software Support and Co-Design --- Resource management and QoS Supports --- Hardware/Software Debugging Technologies and Tools --- Security and Data protection --- Novel Circuits and architectures for embedded multimedia architectures --- Embedded Systems Design for Mobile Multimedia Service: Location Based Services, Tracking and Positioning, etc. --- Emerging New Trends for Embedded Systems and its design for Ubiquitous Multimedia ====================== Submission Guidelines ====================== Submissions must include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages with IEEE proceedings paper format, including tables and figures. All paper submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Submissions Manuscripts should be submitted through email to umes2011@gmail.com in PDF format. And the "Subject field" of the email must contain "UMES2011 Paper - ". ====================== Publications ====================== Every submitted paper will be carefully reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by IEEE. Authors should submit a paper at most 8 pages in length with IEEE CS format by using online systems for review. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, if the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference. ====================== Best Paper Award ====================== One best paper award, selected by the organizing committee, based on referee reviews, will be presented to the author(s) of the best paper submitted to the conference along with other awards presented during the social event. ============================================ Journal Special Issue Information ============================================ Distinguished selected papers accepted and presented in UMES2011, after further extensions, will be published in special issues of the following prestigious Journals: --- IEEE Systems Journal (SCI Indexed) --- Journal of Embedded Computing, IOS Press, the Netherlands --- Journal of Mobile Multimedia, Rinton Press, Princeton, New Jersey --- International Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications, Emerald Publisher, UK ====================== Workshop Organizer ====================== -- Steering Chairs -- Jianhua Ma, Hosei University, Japan Laurence T.
