The Second International Workshop on
Ubiquitous Computing Security Issues (UCSI'11)
In
conjunction with the
6th International Conference for Internet
Technology and Secured Transactions (ICITST-2011)
December 11-14, 2011, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Hosted by Khalifa University
Workshop Summary
================
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.
