*) Abstract of the invited talk:
A Smart Card is a small device with computing power. The card embeds an OS and application software. In this talk, we present the hardware platform and its constraints. The software runs on the card, sometimes in standard enviroments such as JavaCard. Software development must deal with challenging resource constraints and security issues. We discuss the above as well as card interactions with the external word.

**) Advice to all the HotOS speakers (except the invited speaker):
You have 20 minutes for your talk, of which please leave a couple of minutes for a quick question or two. Every session finishes with a general discussion, 20 minutes for a two-paper session, 30 minutes for a three-paper session.

***) The on-line papers are only available to attendees which have been mailed a login and password. The official workshop proceedings will be available from IEEE CS Press.
