The Third
International Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing Security
Issues (UCSI'12)
In
conjunction with the
7th International
Conference for Internet Technology and Secured
Transactions (ICITST-2012)
December
10-12, 2012, London, UK
Workshop Summary
================
In the last few
years we have witnessed a significant increase in the use
of computers and mobile devices in Ubiquitous
Computing (Ubicomp)
Systems. While this is a welcoming trend, security
concerns become a major obstacle for adoption of
Ubicomp systems.
Unless deliberate efforts are taken to ensure secure
Ubicomp systems from design to implementation,
most of the
advancements in Ubicomp research may not be realised.
The Ubiquitous
Computing Security Issues (UCSI) workshop will bring
together researchers and industry participants who are
involved in the
design, development, and implementation of novel
applications, architectures and frameworks from the
Ubicomp
research domain.
The UCSI workshop will provide a high profile, leading
edge forum for researchers and engineers alike to present
state-of-the-art
research in the field of security for Ubiquitous
Computing.
The UCSI workshop
invites original, high-quality research contributions. In
particular, contributions that identify the
state-of-the-art in
the design, development, deployment, evaluation and
understanding of security issues for Ubiquitous
Computing systems.
