                     ===================================

The Taiwanese-French Conference on Information Technology (TFIT) series 
originated in 2000 as an annual workshop on Multimedia that aimed at 
fostering close  collaborations between Taiwanese and French research 
communities of the field by providing a regular forum for interaction 
between the two sides. While the goal remained the same, areas of 
interest have expanded over the years and the workshop also underwent 
several name changes. In 2004, the annual workshop grew into a 
conference and assumed its present name. The technical program of TFIT 
2008 will consist of invited papers as well as papers selected from 
submissions.

[SCOPE]

Information Technology is a very broad field. To ensure better 
interaction, four areas have been identified as the focus areas of TFIT 
2008: On the other hand, we encourage the papers presented in the 
conference should be understood in a very broad sense.
   - Multimedia
   - Real-Time/Embedded Systems
   - Security
   - Formal Verification

[SUBMISSION GUIDELINES]

Papers reporting research findings in the four focus areas (Multimedia,
Real-Time/Embedded Systems, Security, Formal Verification) are 
solicited. A submitted paper must contain original contributions, 
clearly written in English, and include comparison with related work. 
Submissions should include abstract, 5-10 keywords, the e-mail address 
of thecorresponding author, and must not exceed 12 pages, including 
tables andfigures, with PDF format. Each paper should be submitted 
electronically to the following email addresses:
