[TYPES/announce] Call for Papers: WESE 2006 - Embedded Systems Education

[Susanne Graf]

           Workshop on Embedded Systems Education
                      WESE 2006

           October 26, 2006, Seoul, South Korea
               Organized within EMSOFT2006
              part of Embedded Systems Week
           http://www.it.uu.se/conf/EMSOFT06/

It is widely recognized that the embedded system domain is a
multidisciplinary one, requiring a large variety of skills from
control and signal processing theory, electronics, computer
engineering and science, telecommunication, etc., as well as
application domain knowledge. This has motivated a recent but ever
growing interest in the question of educating specialists in this
domain and this has also been recognized as a particularly difficult
problem. After a successful first event in Jersey City, USA (2005),
this second workshop on the subject aims to bring researchers,
educators, and industrial representatives together to assess needs and
share design, research, and experiences in embedded systems education
