=============================================================

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.
UIC-09 will include a highly selective program of technical papers,
accompanied by workshops, panel discussions and keynote speeches.
Established as a premier venue in the area of ubiquitous intelligence and
computing, UIC-09 will offer a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and
experiences in developing intelligent/smart objects, environments and
systems.

The UIC-09 topics include but are not limited to the following:
1. Ubiquitous Intelligence/Smart Systems
* Sensor, Ad Hoc & Mesh Networks
* Peer-to-peer Networks
* Mobile Social Networking
* Knowledge Representation and Ontology
* Wearable, Personal and Body Area Systems

* Smart Building, Library, School, Campus
* Smart Shop, Hospital and City, etc.
* Vehicle, Road, Traffic & Transportation
* Healthcare and Elder Care Services
* Pervasive Learning, Games, Entertainment
* Other Intelligent/Smart Applications

3.Personal/Social/Physical Aspects
* Real/Cyber World Modeling and Semantics
* User/Object Identity and Activity Recognition
* Adaptive User Interfaces
* Security, Privacy, Safety and Legal Issues
* Emotional, Ethical and Psychological Factors
* Implication and Impact of Ubiquitous Intelligence
* Relations between Real and Cyber Worlds

4. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Objects
* Electronic Labels, Cards, E-Tags and RFID
* Embedded Chips, Sensors & Actuators
* MEMS, NEMS, Micro & Biometric Devices
* Smart Appliances and Wearable Devices
* Material, Textile, Cloth, Furniture, etc.

== PAPER PUBLICATION ==
Accepted main conference papers will be published by Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS, EI indexed). At least one author of each accepted
paper is required to register and present their work at the conference,
otherwise the paper will not be included in the proceedings. Selected
papers, after extension and further revisions, will be published in special
issues of prestigious journals, including a special issue on "Multimedia
Intelligent Services and Technologies" of the ACM/Springer Multimedia
Systems Journal.
The length of submitted papers should not exceed 15 pages in the LNCS
format. The information on how to submit papers is provided on the
conference webpage: http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~uic09/
