CALL FOR PAPERS

About the Conference

Recent advances in the field of wireless networks have moved them beyond
their traditional areas of application to a much broader scope. 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 can harmonize a number of technologies at each
architectural layer to provide the best user experience.

This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges of
smart spaces. In this regard, the conference aims to bring together
research professionals from diverse fields including but not limited to
wireless communication, ubiquitous networks, software development,
multimedia, services, and business in both academia and industry.

The 1st Russian Conference on Smart Spaces ruSMART 2008 will take place
on September 5th, 2008. It will be co-located with the 8th International
