This volume contains the 37 papers presented at the 9th International Confe-
rence on Real-Time and Embedded Computing Systems and Applications (RT-CSA 2003). RTCSA is an international conference organized for scientists and
researchers from both academia and industry to hold intensive discussions on advancing technologies topics on real-time systems, embedded systems, ubiquitous/pervasive computing, and related topics. RTCSA 2003 was held at the
Department of Electrical Engineering of National Cheng Kung University in
Taiwan. Paper submissions were well distributed over the various aspects of
real-time computing and embedded system technologies. There were more than
100 participants from all over the world.
The papers, including 28 regular papers and 9 short papers are grouped into
the categories of scheduling, networking and communication, embedded systems,
pervasive/ubiquitous computing, systems and architectures, resource manage-
ment, file systems and databases, performance analysis, and tools and deve-
lopment. The grouping is basically in accordance with the conference program.
Earlier versions of these papers were published in the conference proceedings.
However, some papers in this volume have been modified or improved by the
authors, in various aspects, based on comments and feedback received at the
conference. It is our sincere hope that researchers and developers will benefit from these papers.
We would like to thank all the authors of the papers for their contribution.
We thank the members of the program committee and the reviewers for their
excellent work in evaluating the submissions. We are also very grateful to all the members of the organizing committees for their help, guidance and support.
There are many other people who worked hard to make RTCSA 2003 a success.
Without their efforts, the conference and this volume would not have been pos-
sible, and we would like to express our sincere gratitude to them. In addition,we would like to thank the National Science Council (NSC), the Ministry of Education (MOE), and the Institute of Information Science (IIS) of Academia Sinica of Taiwan, the Republic of China (ROC) for their generous financial support. We would also like to acknowledge the co-sponsorship by the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ) and the Korea Information Science Society (KISS).
Last, but not least, we would like to thank Dr. Farn Wang who helped in-
itiate contact with the editorial board of LNCS to publish this volume. We also
appreciate the great work and the patience of the editors at Springer-Verlag. We
are truly grateful.
