USST 2012 (The 2012 International Workshop on Ubiquitous Service Systems and Technologies) http://iseco.idv.tw/yphuang/~USST12.html
=========================================================================================================
The 2012 International Workshop on Ubiquitous Service Systems and Technologies (USST 2012) is organized to resolve the problems faced in the areas of ubiquitous services. Ubiquitous intelligence and computing models have been widely investigated for many years. It is time to provide researchers a stage to present their work that is more related to ubiquitous services. This workshop encourages original papers emphasizing ubiquitous services from the theoretical, system design, technological and application aspects. The ubiquitous service systems and technologies domain emerges from the integration among computers, handheld devices, wireless/GSM networks, sensor network technologies, context awareness, context authentication and context sharing across different platforms. The emerging technologies and applications in the areas of ubiquitous services are all within the scope of this workshop. This workshop is targeted on bringing academic and industrial researchers and practitioners to present prospective technologies, models, systems and applications used in current and future ubiquitous service systems and technologies.
