Introduction

============

In the last few years we have witnessed a significant increase in the 
use of computers and mobile devices in Ubiquitous Computing Systems. 
While this is a welcome trend, security concerns are becoming one of 
the major problems. It is affecting the adoption rate and usage of 
these systems. Unless deliberate efforts are taken to secure these 
systems from design to implementation most of the development achieved 
to date may not be realised and rolled out to the real world.



The Ubiquitous Computing Security Issues (UCSI) workshop will bring 
together researchers and industry participants who are involved with 
the design, development, and implementation of novel applications and 
frameworks in the domain of Ubiquitous Computing. 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. 





Format and Duration

===================

The workshop is intended to take half a day. It will comprise of short 
presentations on the key security issues. These issues will then be 
open for review and discussion. At the end of the workshop a panel 
session will be held to sum up the major findings and contributions 
made during the workshop.





Topics of interest include but not limited to:

==============================================



    * Security Challenges in Ubiquitous Computing Systems

    * Design Principles of Secure Ubiquitous Computing Systems

    * Issues and Challenges of Ubiquitous Computing in e-Healthcare

    * Security and Privacy Concerns in Ubiquitous Computing Systems

    * Security Concerns in Positioning and Tracking Technologies

    * Privacy Concerns in Context-Aware Systems and Smart Environments

    * Techniques and Challenges for Implementing Secure Smart 
Environments

    * Legal and Ethical Issues relating to Ubiquitous Computing Systems

    



Important Dates

===============

Paper submission deadline: May 31, 2010 

Notification of paper acceptance/rejection: June 30, 2010

Camera-ready paper submission: July 31, 2010 





Submission details

==================

The UCSI workshop invites original, high-quality research contributions 
from researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. All are 
invited to submit papers limited to 6 pages in IEEE format, describing 
original work or a position paper. Participants will be selected based 
on their submissions; a selection of papers will be presented at the 
workshop. All the accepted papers will appear in the proceedings 
published by IEEE and fully indexed by IEEE Xplore. All the ICITST 
papers are indexed by DBLP.



Authors of accepted papers will be expected to present their work at 
the workshop. All attendees must register for the ICITST 2010 
conference - http://www.icitst.org/Registration.html.



Paper must be submitted electronically to Fredrick.Mtenzi@dit.ie . All 
papers will be fully refereed by at least two referees and before final 
acceptance all referees' comments must be considered. The required 
formats of the paper are available on the conference website 
http://www.icitst.org/Paper%20Submission.html.
