<DIV>EM-Com 2009 will be held in Jeju, Korea on December 10 - 12, 2009.
<BR>EM-Com 2009 will be the most comprehensive conference focused on the various
aspects of advances in Embedded and Multimedia (EM) Computing. <BR>EM-Com 2009
will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss
the latest issues and progress in the area of EM. <BR>In addition, the
conference will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the
various theories and practical applications in EM. <BR>Furthermore, we expect
that the conference and its publications will be a trigger for further
related research and technology improvements in this important subject. <BR>Each
paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. <BR>The conference
proceedings will be published by Springer as the CCIS information
(Communications in Computer and Information Science) - Pending.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The EM-Com 2009 is the next event in a series of highly successful
International Symposium on Ubiquitous Multimedia Computing (UMC-08, Australia,
Oct. 2008) <BR>and International Workshop on Embedded Software Optimization
(ESO-08, China, Dec. 2008), previously held as UMS-08 (Korea, April, 2008),
<BR>UMS-07(Singapore, Jan. 2007), ESO-07(Taiwan, Dec. 2007), ESO-06(Korea, Aug.
