SMPE-09 2009 - The 3rd International Symposium on Security and Multimodality in Pervasive Environments (SMPE-09)

The 3rd International Symposium on
Security and Multimodality in Pervasive Environments (SMPE-09)

http://www.sersc.org/SMPE2009

University of Bradford, Bradford, UK, May 26-29, 2009.

In conjunction with AINA-09
========================================================

Pervasive computing environments (PE) present specific peculiarities
with respect to aspects like security and multimodality. As a matter
of fact, the accessibility level of a virtual environment can
definitively be improved by natural interfaces and multimodal
interaction systems, which offer users the freedom to select from
multiple modes of interaction with services and permit to break down
barriers about human-computer interaction making communication
intuitive and spontaneous. On the other hand, while enlarging and
easing the ways to access to the environment, security threads arise
and the environment must be properly equipped in order to protect
itself from malicious attacks and/or from wrong actions performed by
inexpert users.

SMPE-09 will be held in conjunction with AINA-09, in University of
Bradford, Bradford, UK, May 26-29, 2009.

SMPE-09 is the next event in a series of highly successful
International Symposium on Security and Multimodality in Pervasive
Environments (SMPE), previously held as SMPE-08 (Trinity College
Dublin, Ireland, July 2008), SMPE-07 (Nice, France, September 2007).
