CALL FOR PAPER (FIRST DRAFT)
The fifth International Conference of Information and Communication Technology for Em
bedded Systems (IC-ICTES 2014) is established to provide an international forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their new ideas, original research results and practical development experiences from all embedded system-related areas including ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing, embedded system design, development of new HW/SW-related theories and techniques in embedded systems , information and
communication technology for supporting development of embedded systems, and information and communication technology used in embedded systems.

AREAS OF INTEREST
