ASUC 2011 - The Second International workshop on Ad hoc, sensor & Ubiquitous Computing (ASUC-2011)

The Second International workshop on Ad hoc, sensor & Ubiquitous Computing (ASUC-2011) will provide an excellent international forum for sharing knowledge and results in theory, methodology and applications of Ad Hoc & Ubiquitous computing. Current information age is witnessing a dramatic use of digital and electronic devices in the workplace and beyond. Ubiquitous Computing presents a rather arduous requirement of robustness, reliability and availability to the end user. Ad hoc, Sensor & Ubiquitous computing has received a significant and sustained research interest in terms of designing and deploying large scale and high performance computational applications in real life.
