Embedded software has become a necessity in almost every aspect of our daily life. The types of embedded software range from self-contained applications to those embedded in various devices and services, such as mobile phones, vital sign sensors, medication dispensers, home appliances, engine ignition systems, etc. Many such systems are mission/life-critical and performance-sensitive. The 19th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications (RTCSA 2013) will bring together researchers and developers from academia and industry for the advancing of the technology of embedded and real-time systems, and ubiquitous computing applications. The conference aims at the investigation of the advances in embedded and real-time systems and ubiquitous computing applications, the promoting of interaction among people in the areas of embedded computing, real-time computing and ubiquitous computing, and the evaluating of the maturity and directions of embedded and real-time system and ubiquitous computing technology. RTCSA 2013 invites submissions of papers with a high quality original research and development for the conference tracks: (1) Embedded Systems, (2) Real-time Systems, and (3) Ubiquitous Computing/Cyber-physical Systems.
