====================================================================== The 3rd International Symposium on Security and Multimodality in Pervasive Environments (SMPE-09) http://www.sersc.org/SMPE2009 University of Bradford, Bradford, UK, May 26-29, 2009. In conjunction with AINA-09 ====================================================================== Pervasive computing environments (PE) present specific peculiarities with respect to aspects like security and multimodality. As a matter of fact, the accessibility level of a virtual environment can definitively be improved by natural interfaces and multimodal interaction systems, which offer users the freedom to select from multiple modes of interaction with services and permit to break down barriers about human-computer interaction making communication intuitive and spontaneous. On the other hand, while enlarging and easing the ways to access to the environment, security threads arise and the environment must be properly equipped in order to protect itself from malicious attacks and/or from wrong actions performed by inexpert users. SMPE-09 will be held in conjunction with AINA-09, in University of Bradford, Bradford, UK, May 26-29, 2009. SMPE-09 is the next event in a series of highly successful International Symposium on Security and Multimodality in Pervasive Environments (SMPE), previously held as SMPE-08 (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, July 2008), SMPE-07 (Nice, France, September 2007). ==Topic of Interest== - Trust and reputation management in PE - Security applications and services in pervasive computing - Security model for pervasive computing - Intelligent multimedia security services in pervasive computing - Key management and authentication in pervasive computing - Network security issues and protocols in pervasive computing - Access control and privacy protection in pervasive computing - Security Standard for next pervasive computing - Security in Human Centred Environments - Natural interfaces security issues - Advanced multimodal interfaces - Human oriented interfaces - Multimodal mobile and ubiquitous services - Methods for multimodal integration - Middleware services for multimodal and pervasive applications - Context-Awareness in multimodal applications - Multimodal analysis and recognition of contex - Next ubiquitous and immersive environments - Virtual reality and ubiquitous computing - Usability and accessibility in ubiquitous applications - Applications and scenarios - Others: Commercial or Industrial Issue in pervasive computing ==Organization== Steering Chair Jong Hyuk Park, Kyungnam University, Korea General Co-Chairs Mieso Denko, University of GUELPH, Canada Farid Nait-Abdesselam, University of Sciences and Technologies of Lille, France Program Co-Chairs Changhoon Lee, Korea University, Korea Isaac Woungang, Ryerson University, Canada Program Committee See: http://www.sersc.org/SMPE2009/ === Important Dates === Submission Deadline: November 15, 2008 (Extended) Author Notification: December 8, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: December 22, 2008 ==Paper Submission & Publication == Submit a full paper of at most 6 page (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page.
