EMI or Electro Magnetic Interference describes the emmisivity(E) and susceptability(S) of systems.
The emmisivity defines the EMI that your "generates: to the environment and is sub divided into the radiated emmisivity (RE) (that is EMI via radio signals) and the conducted emmisivity (CE) (that is EMI in cables)
The susceptability defines your system's sensitivity to environmental EMI and is sub divided into the radiated susceptability (RS) and conducted susceptability (CS)
Electro magnetic interference (EMI) is noise which produce by other circuit or same ciruit on the operation of the circuit. Generally as the frquency increases ( rise and fall time decreases ) , the EMI effect will be more.

EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) produced by a circuit can be reduced by spread spectrum modulation techniques.This modulation can be periodic or random.Random modulation of clocks is known as dithering whereas in spread spectrum technique, the system opreation frequency is varied around the main freq. and this spreads the EMI power emitted in the harmonic components and brings the average noise curve up, but the peaks down.
Electromagnetic interference (also called EMI, Radio Frequency Interference, and RFI) is electromagnetic radiation which is emitted by electrical circuits carrying rapidly changing signals, as a by-product of their normal operation, and which causes unwanted signals (interference or noise) to be induced in other circuits. This interrupts, obstructs, or otherwise degrades or limits the effective performance of those other circuits. It can be induced intentionally, as in some forms of electronic warfare, or unintentionally, as a result of spurious emissions and responses, intermodulation products, and the like. Electromagnetic intereference can also be emitted by things not normally considered to be electrical circuits, such as the Sun or the Northern Lights. EMI frequently affects the reception of AM radio in urban areas. It can also affect FM radio and television reception, although to a lesser extent.
The most important means of reducing EMI are: use of bypass or "decoupling" capacitors on each active device (connected across the power supply, as close to the device as possible), risetime control of high speed signals using series resistors and VCC filtering. Shielding is usually a last resort after other techniques have failed because of the added expense of RF gaskets and the like.
The efficiency of the radiation is dependent on the height above the ground or power plane (at RF one is as good as the other) and the length of the conductor in relationship to the wavelength of the signal component (fundamental, harmonic or transient (overshoot, undershoot or ringing)). At lower frequencies, such as 133 MHz, radiation is almost exclusively via I/O cables; RF noise gets onto the power planes and is coupled to the line drivers via the VCC and ground pins. The RF is then coupled to the cable through the line driver as common node noise. Since the noise is common mode, shielding has very little effect, even with differential pairs. The RF energy is capacitively coupled from the signal pair to the shield and the shield itself does the radiating. One cure for this is to use a braid-breaker to reduce the common mode signal.
At higher frequencies, usually above 500 MHz, traces get electrically longer and higher above the plane. Two techniques are used at these frequencies: wave shaping with series resistors and embedding the traces between the two planes. If all these measures still leave too much EMI, shielding such as RF gaskets and copper tape can be used. Most digital equipment is designed with metal, or coated plastic, cases.
Switching power supplies can be a source of EMI, but have become less of a problem as design techniques have improved.
Most countries have legal requirements that electronic and electrical hardware must still work correctly when subjected to certain amounts of EMI, and should not emit EMI which could interfere with other equipment (such as radios).

Above answers are giving alot of theoritical ideas ...
I would like to add further that some of the software packages ( structure based ), some are even freely avaible on the web are giving alot idea on this EMI and EMC problems and there respective solutions....
one I know is empire FDTD method .... just attached a brief details in word formate .... I do have complete tutorial but more then 5 MB so not uploading that as of now still u need then please tell me ......
I just attached a word doc for introductry details ...
adding to the above points a way to circumvent radn in ckts with traces is to use high dielectric constant substrates.This would result in less radiative interference as the waves are tightly bound to the media.
emi is the thing where all the designers luks small in this issue..... rally tere are only hundreds of engineers all over the world in this field and i m sure the figure cant cross 1000 even if u count every corner
