Ubiquitous sensors, devices, networks and information are paving the way towards a smart
world in which computational intelligence is distributed throughout the physical environment to
provide reliable and relevant services to people. This ubiquitous intelligence will change the
computing landscape because it will enable new breeds of applications and systems to be
developed and the realm of computing possibilities will be significantly extended. By enhancing
everyday objects with intelligence, many tasks and processes could be simplified, the physical
spaces where people interact like the workplaces and homes, could become more efficient,
safer and more enjoyable. Ubiquitous computing, or pervasive computing, uses these many
¡°smart things/u-things¡± to create smart environments.
A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may be context-aware,
active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated, sentient, perceptual,
cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking. Research on ubiquitous intelligence is an emerging
research field covering many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist to move from the
current level of computing services to the smart world of adaptive and intelligent services.
Started in 2005, the series of UIC conferences has been held in Taipei, Nagasaki, Three Gorges
(China), Hong Kong and Oslo.
