The aim of the symposium is to stimulate interactions between participants through them. UCS 2007 focuses on the emerging area of ubiquitous computing. This emergence is an outcome of the rapid evolution in smart appliances and devices, as well as tremendous advances in wireless networks and mobile computing. The symposium offers the opportunity for in-depth exploration of the most recent research and development findings in the field of ubiquitous computing. We encourage contributions describing innovative work on ubiquitous computing systems. Areas of interest include, but not limited to: * Enabling Technologies for Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing * Infrastructure for Ubiquitous Computing * Home and Office Appliances * Portable Devices and Wearable Computers * Wireless Networks, Home Network and Ubiquitous Networks * Smart Sensors and Sensor Networks * Passive, Active, and Smart Tags for Ubiquitous Computing * Security and Privacy for Ubiquitous Computing * Social Solutions for Ubiquitous Computing * Software Architecture for Home/Smart Appliances * Location-dependent and Context-aware Computing * Human Computer Interaction in Ubiquitous Computing * Gaming Applications in Ubiquitous Computing Environments * Modeling and Inference * Domestic Environments and Health Care IMPORTANT DATES * Submission deadline: May 6, 2007 * Notification of acceptance: July 31, 2007 * Camera-ready papers: August 23, 2007 IMPORTANT FOR AUTHORS The UCS 2007 proceedings are scheduled to be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Technical papers for UCS2007 must not exceed 16 pages (but we explicitly welcome shorter papers) and include an abstract of 100-150 words. The submitted paper must be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of LNCS, http://www.springer.com/. Authors are invited to submit papers electronically through EDAS Conference Manager, http://edas.info/. Further information will be available on the conference website. POSTER AND DEMONSTRATION SESSIONS Submissions are invited to present recent results in posters and demonstrations.
