PSSI-13 Introduction
=====================
Advances in information and communications technology (ICT) have presented a dramatic growth in merging the boundaries between physical space and cyberspace, and go further to improve human beingâ?™s daily life. One typical instance is the use of smartphone. Modern smartphone is equipped with a variety of sensors that are used to collect activities, locations, and situations of its user continuously and provide immediate helps accordingly. Some commercial products (e.g., smart house, etc.) also demonstrate the feasibility of comprehensive supports by deploying a rapidly growing number of sensors (or intelligent objects) into our living environments. These developments are collectively best characterized as ubiquitous service that promises to enhance awareness of the cyber, physical, and social contexts. As such, researchers (and companies as well) tend to provide tailored and precise solutions (e.g., services, supports, etc.) wherever and whenever human beings are active according to individualsâ?™ contexts. Making technology usable by and useful to, via the ubiquitous services and correlated techniques, human beings in ways that were previously unimaginable has become a challenging issue to explore the picture of technology in the next era.
This workshop aims at providing a forum to discuss problems, studies, practices, and issues regarding the emerging trend of pervasive computing. Researchers are encouraged to share achievements, experiments, and ideas with international participants, and furthermore, look forward to map out the research directions and collaboration in the future.

Submissions and Proceedings
============================
Authors should submit a paper with 6~8 pages in length, including all figures, tables, and references. If you want to submit more than page limitation, you can add up to 2 extra pages with the appropriate fee payment. Papers must strictly adhere to page limits - a paper with 8 pages (Max 2 extra pages allowed at additional cost). All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings as one of Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering (LNEE) series published by Springer (indexed by EI & SCOPUS).
