First International Workshop on Trustworthy Ubiquitous Computing (TwUC 2006)

December 4-6, 2006 Yogyakarta, Indonesia

http://www.iiwas.org/conferences/twuc2006/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marc Weiser presented his vision of disappearing and ubiquitous computing more than 15 years ago. The big picture of the computer introduced into our environment was a big innovation and the starting point for various areas of research. In order to totally adopt the idea of ubiquitous computing several houses were build, equipped with technology and used as laboratory in order to find and test appliances that are useful and could be made available in our everyday life. Within the last years industry picked up the idea of integrating ubiquitous computing and several already available products like remote controls for your house exist and can be bought today.

In spite of many applications and projects in the area of ubiquitous and pervasive computing the success is still far away. One of the main reasons is the lack of acceptance of and confidence in this technology. Although researchers and industry are working in all of these areas a forum to elaborate security, reliability and privacy issues, that resolve in trustworthy interfaces and computing environments for people interacting within these ubiquitous environments is important.

The goal of TwUC 2006 workshop is to provide an international forum for scientists, engineers and industry to address recent research results and to present and discuss their ideas, theories, technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experiences on all theoretical and practical issues.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The conference program will include invited talks, peer reviewed full papers around but not limited to the following topics:

- Security in ubiquitous computing environments - security issues and technologies - usage policies - identity and access - threat and vulnerability - malicious software in ubiquitous environments - integrity - trusted computing - trusting platforms

- Reliability in ubiquitous computing environments - software design - software quality and metrics - user perceived QoS - Methods and concepts to enhance and ensure availability

- Privacy in ubiquitous computing environments - issues and appliances on privacy in ubiquitous computing environments - data and information ownership and souvereignity of social and technical methods for ensuring confidentiality

- Usability in ubiquitous computing environments - Designing the user interface in ubiquitous environments - Designing Interaction for ubiquitous appliances - Usability Evaluation Methods in ubiquitous environments
