Introduction
---------------------------------

EmbeddedCom 2014 is to bring together computer scientists, industrial engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange experimental and theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the area of Embedded Computing.

EmbeddedCom 2014 will be held in Dalian,China. The objective of EmbeddedCom 2014 is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and governments to advance the theories and technologies in parallel and distributed computing.EmbeddedCom 2014 will focus on two broad areas of parallel and distributed computing, i.e. architectures, algorithms and networks, and systems and applications. The conference of EmbeddedCom 2014 will be organized by Dalian Maritime University, China - Department of Computer Science.
