CALL FOR PAPER
ICUFN 2009
The First International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks
June 7-9, 2009, Hong Kong, China
http://www.icufn.org

GENERAL INFORMATION
During the last decade, we have witnessed fast developments of various networking technologies,
and many forms of networking are core parts of our daily lives now. With the proliferation of future
wireless technologies and electronic devices, there is a fast growing interest in ubiquitous and future networks. In the days to come, we expect that the ubiquitous communication and networking
technologies will become ubiquitous along with the emergence of many future networking technologies.
The ubiquitous and future network will offer multiservice, multimedia services convergence, mobility,
service ubiquity and context awareness, fixed-mobile convergence, quality of service, variable
connectivity, spontaneous networking, autonomic networking and other capabilities as the norm.
The first International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN) aims at addressing
advances in research on ubiquitous and future networks, covering topics ranging from technology
issues to applications and test-bed developments. ICUFN 2009 solicits original, unpublished contributions
in all aspects of ubiquitous and future networking. Submitted articles must not be concurrently considered
elsewhere for publication. ICUFN 2009 is sponsored by KICS and IEEE (pending).

SUBMISSION GUILDELINES
All submissions must be submitted electronically, in PDF format and uploaded on EDAS. The direct link for paper submission is http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6473&. There are two options for the submissions either a full paper or an extended abstract. We decided to allow the submission of extended abstracts in order to accommodate the most recent research outcomes. The submissions should be formatted with single-spaced, double-column pages using at least 10 pt (or higher) size fonts on A4 or letter pages in IEEE style format. The maximum page numbers are 6 for full papers and 2 for extended abstracts, respectively. The camera-ready version for an accepted paper cannot exceed 6 pages. Detailed formatting and submission instructions will be available on the conference web site (http://www.icufn.org).
