International Symposium on Ubiquitous Computing Systems (UCS 2006)

Organized by u-Korea Forum, Sungkyunkwan Univ., and ETNEWS Sponsored by KISS, KIPS, KICS, NCA, UCN, IPSJ SIGUBI, IEICE URON, and UNF
The Proceedings will be published in LNCS, Springer-Verlag
Purpose and Scope
Ubiquitous computing has emerged as a core terminology in the area of science and engineering as the Internet did a decade ago. It involves all the key IT fields to provide the best service to human and society using the sensors empowered with context awareness and computers allowing seamless connection between various entities. This new paradigm can efficiently support the 5C(Computing, Communication, Connection, Contents, Calm) with 5Any (Anytime, Anywhere, Any-network, Any-device, Any-service) concept. Due to its huge impact on human life and society, numerous related technologies and applications are appearing these days with some early version.
We invite researchers, practitioners, and others interested in ubiquitous computing and networking to participate in the third International Symposium on Ubiquitous Computing Systems (UCS 2006) held in Seoul, Korea, October 11 - 13, 2006.

UCS 2006 focuses on the emerging area of ubiquitous computing. The symposium offers the opportunity for in-depth exploration of the most recent research and development findings in the field of ubiquitous computing with particular emphasis on balancing the theories and their applications.
The city of Seoul is a mega-center of computer and communication academia/industry, and the symposium will attract a variety of participants from all over the world for sharing up-to-date information on ubiquitous computing and their applications. Exhibition is also held to allow the relevant industries to disseminate recent products. We encourage contributions describing innovative work on ubiquitous computing systems. Areas of interest include, but not limited to:
Enabling Technologies for Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing Infrastructure for Ubiquitous Computing Wireless Networks and Home Networks for Ubiquitous Computing Location-dependent and Context-aware Computing Networked Robots for Ubiquitous Computing Smart Sensors and Sensor Networks for Ubiquitous Computing Portable Devices and Wearable Computers Passive, Active, and Smart Tags for Ubiquitous Computing Home and Office Appliances Software Architecture for Home/Smart Appliances Various Middleware for Ubiquitous Computing Gaming Applications in Ubiquitous Computing Environments Modeling and Inference Human Computer Interaction in Ubiquitous Computing Security and Privacy for Ubiquitous Computing Social Solutions for Ubiquitous Computing Domestic Environments and Health Care
