UCIESP 2012 - International Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing The Intelligent Environment at the Service of People

International Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing
"The Intelligent Environment at the Service of People"
In conjunction with
The Fourth International Conference on Networked Digital Technologies
(NDT 2012)
April 24-26, 2012
Dubai
Workshop Aim and Scope
The main objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to present new and innovative research results in ubiquitous systems. The workshop will have a special focus on” The Intelligent Environment at the Service of People”. Over the past decade, there has been an increasing trend towards integrating sensing, communication, and computation into the physical world. Recent progress in wireless communications, networking, mobile computing, handheld devices and wearable sensors have led to the evolution of ubiquitous platforms and technologies. Many systems have been developed in many application areas such as intelligent cars, smart homes, healthcare and environment monitoring, thus creating ambient intelligence to improve human experience and quality of life without explicit awareness of the underlying communications and computing technologies.
