* THEME :

A "ubiquitous networking" is a federated network technology

which supports various enablers such as 3G mobiles, RFID tags,

sensors, actuators, etc. The ubiquitous network has enough

capability to deal with huge number of IP packets generated from

enablers. At the same time, a lot of broadband contents are

requested to be delivered with perfectly controlled QoS. Efficient

and scalabl routing and transport mechanism for supporting such

various traffics are fundamental requirement on the network. On the

ubiquitous networking environments, information is explosively used

for various kinds of purposes.

From a service perspective, a number of context or ambient aware

services are envisaged for "ubiquitous networking. "A service

platform will manage and create new types of services based on the

context. There should be discussions how to collect and generate

user context, how to create or synthesize services efficiently, and

how to develop such systems using emerging software and hardware

technologies. There could be also discussions how to control network

performance based on user policy or service level

agreement. Providing robust security over all ubiquitous networks in

a simple fashion is an important issue associated with service

provisioning to users. Keeping privacy in ubiquitous networks is

also a big issue.

The other important aspect is that the enablers or ubiquitous

objects themselves where users are commonly faced with. What is a

suitable design and implementation of such objects with service

platforms? How they could be connected to a ubiquitous network to

provide contexts or how could they communicate with each other?

This workshop is one of the best opportunities to address this theme

in sufficient depth and breadth, and is intended to share knowledge

and exchange ideas, thereby promoting new studies and research

topics in this area.

We invite not only academic and industrial researchers but also

business persons, all who are interested in "ubiquitous networking."

Advancing technologies, reports on research, reports or suggestions

on business models and so on are welcome.
