EUCASS 2012 - The 3rd International Workshop on Enablers for Ubiquitous Computing and Smart Services

The 3rd International Workshop on
Enablers for Ubiquitous Computing and Smart Services
EUCASS 2012 in IEEE/IPSJ SAINT 2012
Sensors, tags and actuators are being networked
and deployed everywhere. Smartphones are also rapidly
becoming popular -- they now provide network services
with sophisticated computing environment anywhere on
the Earth. Cloud computing technologies have enabled
virtualization of these devices, and they powerfully
provide Smart Services over the Internet.
The enablers of Smart X (e.g., Smart City, Smart
Grid, Smart Logistics, ... ) include those sensors,
tags, actuators, phones, ubiquitous computing platforms,
and "Services". They have been also called as M2M
(Machine-to-Machine) communications, and IoT
(Internet-of-Things).
The research topics for the emerging Smart Serivces
are:
- distributed (and stream) processing and management
(over the Internet)
- service platforms, context awareness
- sensor data management architecture
- application-oriented systems (Green, City, Grid, etc.)
- sensor and actuator networks
- RFID tags
- people-centric sensing
- quality of service (QoS) control
- privary protection
- how-to-deploy (feasibility study)
We respect deployable or feasible works especially
inspired by social needs or industrial requirements.
Because the future of smart services should be driven
by those social power.
This workshop is one of the best opportunities
to address this theme in sufficient depth and breadth,
and is intended to share knowledge and exchange ideas
and/or actual field experiences, thereby promoting
new studies and research topics in this area.
We welcome business persons as well as academic
and industrial researchers. Reports and suggestions
on research, advancing technologies, business models,
industrial case studies, implementations are also
welcomed. We also welcome work-in-progress paper
in this workshop.
