| Computing devices are now popularly used by untrained users and are embedded in the environment to provide the best services for human and society using the sensors. However, most modern computing system design including hardware and software aims on trained users and lead to the machine-centric systems. When such systems are used by untrained users, many errors occur. To allow the untrained users to safely operate the system and to compute the work, the design for ubiquitous systems should be designed with users in mind. The new use scenario brings grand challenges to several research communities including embedded system design, computer networks, hardware sensor design, machine-human interactions, security, and software architecture. We invite researchers, practitioners, educators and students, and others interested in ubiquitous computing to participate in the Fifth International Symposium on Ubiquitous Computing Systems (UCS 2009) held in Beijing, China in August, 2009. UCS 2009 is an interdisciplinary field of study that includes pervasive, wireless, embedded, wearable and/or mobile technologies that bridge the gaps between the digital and physical worlds, practical applications that incorporate these technologies, infrastructures that effectively support them, human activities and experiences these technologies facilitate, and conceptual overviews that help us understand or challenge our understanding of the impact of these technologies. The aim of the symposium is to stimulate interactions between participants through them. UCS 2009 focuses on the emerging area of ubiquitous computing. This emergence is an outcome of the rapid evolution in smart appliances and devices, as well as tremendous advances in wireless networks and mobile computing. The symposium offers the opportunity for in-depth exploration of the most recent research and development findings in the field of ubiquitous computing. This time UCS 2009 will be co-located with RTCSA 2009 (IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications). We expect much discussion can be made on the area of embedded system design, hardware sensor design, machine-human interactions as well as security in Ubiquitous computing.
