OVERVIEW
==========
Ubiquitous computing is an emerging field of research
for computing paradigms in the 21st century. This emergence is the natural
result of research and technological advances mainly in wireless
communications, mobile computing, embedded computing, autonomic computing and
agent technologies. The goal of ubiquitous computing is to enable the fabrics
of everyday life with seamless and intelligent computers, devices, technologies
and services.
Ubiquitous computing is a post-desktop model of
human-computer interaction in which information processing has been thoroughly
integrated into everyday objects and activities. In the course of ordinary
activities, we use many computational devices and systems simultaneously. This
paradigm is also described as pervasive computing or ambient intelligence. When
primarily concerning the objects involved, it is also physical computing, the
Internet of Things, haptic computing, and things that think.
Ubiquitous computing is the third wave in computing,
starting with mainframes and personal computing. In general, people live
through their practices and tacit knowledge so that the most powerful things
are those that are effectively invisible in use. It is invisible, everywhere
computing that does not live on a personal device of any sort, but is
everywhere.
Ubicomp is an interdisciplinary field that includes
technologies that bridge the digital and physical worlds, systems and
applications that incorporate such technologies, infrastructures that support
them, human activities and experiences these technologies facilitate.
The aim of this symposium is to present the innovative
researches, methods and models for ubiquitous comuting and networking and their
applications.
