The MUSIC-13 will be the most comprehensive conference focused on the various aspects of Mobile, Ubiquitous and Intelligent computing. The MUSIC 2013will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of intelligent technologies in mobile and ubiquitous computing environment. In addition, the conference will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories, modeling, and practical applications in MUSIC. Furthermore, we expect that the conference and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject.
The MUSIC-13 is the next edition of the 3rd International Conference on Mobile, Ubiquitous, and Intelligent Computing (MUSIC-12, Vancouver, Canada, 2012) which was the next event in a series of highly successful International Workshop on Multimedia, Communication and Convergence technologies MCC-11 (Crete, Greece, June 2011), MCC-10 (Cebu, Philippines, August 2010).
