Intelligent solutions in embedded systems have an increasing penetration in many segments of the IT market. Typically, these systems vary from deeply integrated systems with specific support tasks (e.g. multi-media stream processing) up to stand- alone embedded systems (e.g., wireless sensor networks). Embedded systems require new and innovative solutions in order to meet the strong requirements with respect to cost, size, power consumption, real-time compliance, and security at the same time.
Specifically, the role of the embedded software becomes crucial to provide flexible and dynamically reconfigurable systems. Efficient porting of embedded software to different hardware platforms remains a key issue to reuse code and to provide new devices on time. WISES 2007 is a platform to present innovative approaches that provide intelligent solutions in embedded systems. The objective of this workshop is to present mature approaches and to provide a forum to exchange and discuss ideas, and, thus, to share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia.
Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of embedded systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of embedded systems are particularly welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

- Smart embedded (real-time) systems
- Autonomous embedded systems
- Sensor networks and sensor node hardware/software platforms
- Software for embedded systems
- Topology control and time synchronization
- Fault tolerance, security and robustness
- Network protocols and middleware for embedded systems
- Standardisation of embedded software components
- Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination
- Prototypes, applications, field studies, and testbeds
