What's New:
--------------
1. Selected best papers of UIC 2010 will be published in the special issues of:
* Personal and Ubiquitous Computing (Springer, SCI-E)
* International Journal of Information Acquisition (World Scientific)
* International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications
Systems (Inderscience)

2. The paper submisson site for UIC 2010 is now open.

3. Six workshops have been accepted by UIC 2010. Workshop paper
submission deadline is May 30.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 or u-things" to create smart environments, services
and applications.

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, Oslo and Brisbane. UIC 2010 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 2010 will offer a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and
experiences in developing intelligent/smart objects, environments and
systems.
