About the Conference

Recent advances in the field of wireless networks, data mining and knowledge processing have moved them beyond their traditional areas of application to a much broader scope. Together they form a space where users can access a number of wireless technologies to interact with various services. Similarly, existent and future services form a space providing an unlimited set of possibilities ranging from browsing to interactive video conversations. All these layers form a smart environment that harmonize a number of technologies at each architectural layer to provide the best user experience.
This special session will explore and explain the scope and challenges of smart spaces and ubiquitous solutions. In this regard, the session aims to bring together research professionals from diverse fields including but not limited to wireless communication, ubiquitous networks, data mining, knowledge processing, software development, multimedia, services, and business in both academia and industry. Session proceedings will be included into BCFIC 2011 proceedings to be published in IEEE Xplore.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Wireless technologies for smart spaces
- Heterogeneous communication technologies for smart spaces
- Personal and body networks, wearable computing
- Distributed and pervasive services
- Service discovery and composition in smart environments
- Convergence of technologies for smart space
- Smart environments for home, city, office, shop, persons, transport, car, hospital, etc
- Business models for smart spaces
- Social, and economic aspects and problems of smart space
- Architecture and platforms for smart space
- Tools for modeling smart spaces
- Smart logistics
- Heterogeneous sensor information fusion in smart space
- Decision fusion in smart spaces
- Ubiquitous computing and ubiquitous communication within smart space and with external environment
- Intelligent multi-modal user interface and impact of combined use of various human-computer interface modalities
- Smart space and ambient intelligence
- Learning technologies in smart spaces
- Prototyping of Smart Spaces solutions and Smart-M3 platform
