Introduction

Ubiquitous Computing is emerging rapidly as an exciting new paradigm to provide computing and communication services any time, any where. For realizing ubiquitous computing, UASS is needed. Our Session (UASS) provides a chance for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress in the area of ubiquitous Computing Environment including models and systems, new directions, novel applications associated with the utilization, and acceptance of ubiquitous computing devices and systems.

UASS-08 is a successor of the 1st International Workshop on Ubiquitous Application & Security Service (UASS'06 : 8 - 11 May 2006, Glasgow, Scotland, UK) and the 2nd International Workshop on Ubiquitous Application & Security Service (UASS-07: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 26-29 August, 2007).
