The Fourth International Symposium on Ubiquitous Applications & Security Services (UASS-09) January 11-13, 2009, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA http://www.sersc.org/UASS2009 (In Conjunction with CCNC-09) http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/   Click here to download CFP ( PDF, DOC, TXT ) 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 are needed. Our symposium 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-09 is a successor of the 1st International Workshop on Ubiquitous Applications & Security Services (UASS-06) (Glasgow, Scotland, UK, May 8-11, 2006), UASS-07 (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, August 26-29, 2007), UASS-08 (GinoWan, Okinawa, Japan, March 25-28, 2008). Topics (included, but are not limited to) * Ubiquitous Applications - Home-network applications - Ubiquitous Intelligent Service - U-business and other applications - Context awareness Model for Ubiquitous Service - Intelligent User Interface - Ubiquitous Sensor Network(USN) / RFID - Issue - Multimedia Service in U (Ubiquitous)-environment - U Space (Home, Building, Office) * Ubiquitous Security - USN / RFID security - Ubiquitous Multimedia Security (DRM, IPMP) - Key management and authentication in U-Environment - Network security issues and protocols in U-Environment - Access Control in U-Environment - Security in U-commerce - Commercial and industrial security - IPv6, Forensics for U-Environment - Others and emerging new topics - Trusted Computing * Ubiquitous Embedded Hardware and Sofrware - Embedded Hardware Support for Ubiquitous - Embedded Software for Ubiquitous - Embedded System Architecture for Ubiquitous - Real-time OS for Ubiquitous - Smart and Personal devices for Ubiquitous - Power-Aware computing for Ubiquitous - Middleware for Ubiquitous - Specification, Validation and Verification of Embedded System and Software - New Technologies and Devices for Ubiquitous Organization Steering Co-Chairs Jong Hyuk Park (Kyungnam University, Korea) Laurence T.
