International Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing
"The Intelligent Environment at the Service of People" 

In conjunction with
The Fourth International Conference on Networked Digital Technologies
(NDT 2012)
April 24-26, 2012
Dubai
(http://www.ndtconf.org)
Workshop Aim and Scope 


The main objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers 
and practitioners from academia and industry to present new and innovative 
research results in ubiquitous systems. The workshop will have a special 
focus on” The Intelligent Environment at the Service of People”. Over 
the past decade, there has been an increasing trend towards integrating 
sensing, communication, and computation into the physical world. Recent 
progress in wireless communications, networking, mobile computing, handheld 
devices and wearable sensors have led to the evolution of ubiquitous 
platforms and technologies. Many systems have been developed in many 
application areas such as intelligent cars, smart homes, healthcare and 
environment monitoring, thus creating ambient intelligence to improve human 
experience and quality of life without explicit awareness of the underlying 
communications and computing technologies.
