The advancement of embedded software and systems, such as intelligent vehicles, industrial robots, wearable devices, and Internet-of-Things, has great societal and economic impacts. It is of utmost importance to ensure safety, efficiency, and security of their design and implementation. IEEE International Conference on Embedded Software and Systems (ICESS) is a global forum for researchers and developers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in embedded software and systems. The conference has a broad scope covering the design, implementation, optimization, and validation of embedded software and systems in various domains, with recent focus on cyber-physical systems, Internet-of-Things, embedded security, and autonomous software systems. ICESS 2022 will be held as a hybrid conference, and participants may choose to attend it either on-site or online.

Submissions should contain significant novel ideas and technical results that have not been published or concurrently submitted to any other venue. Submitted manuscripts should be written in English conforming to the IEEE conference proceedings format (8.5" x 11" page size, two- column). All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission website with PDF format: https://edas.info/N29973.

Papers should not be longer than 8 pages in the IEEE conference format. Some papers may be accepted after review as short papers; the camera-ready versions of such papers should normally not exceed 4 pages. Authors of accepted papers (regular-length or short papers) will have the option to pay for up to 2 extra pages at the time of registration.

All accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by EI. Selected papers, after further revisions, that will be considered for publication in Elsevier Journal of Systems Architecture, the Special Issue on Embedded Software and Systems (ICESS2022).
