Call for Papers
Historically, ubiquitous systems have been highly engineered for
a particular task, with no spontaneous interactions among devices.
Recent advances in wireless communication and sensor and actuator
technologies have given rise to a new genre of ubiquitous systems.
This new genre is characterized as self-organizing, critically
resource constrained, and network centric. The fundamental change is
communication: numerous small devices operating collectively, rather
than as standalone devices, form a dynamic ambient network that
connects each device to more powerful networks and processing
resources.
NCUS'07 is the successor of the First IFIP International
Symposium on Network Centric Ubiquitous Systems (NCUS'05) held in
Nagasaki, Japan and the Second IFIP International Symposium on
Network Centric Ubiquitous Systems (NCUS'06) held in Seoul, Korea
and and offers a premier international forum for researchers and
practitioners from both industry and academia, to discuss hot topics
and emerging areas, to share recent progress and latest results, and
to promote cutting-edge research and future cooperation on
ubiquitous systems and ubiquitous networking.
Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following:
- Software engineering technologies and formal techniques for
modeling, designing, and testing network centric ubiquitous systems
- Hardware architectures, communication protocols, human-computer
interaction and other enabling technologies for network centric
ubiquitous systems
- Theoretical foundations and algorithms for ubiquitous networking
- Context awareness, adaptation and management in network centric
ubiquitous systems
- Peer-to-peer and overlay networks, systems, and applications in
ubiquitous systems
- Mobile networks, sensor networks, unmanned air and ground
vehicle networks, and applications
- Web services and middleware support for ubiquitous networking
- Security and trust management in ubiquitous networks, systems,
and applications
- Energy management and harvesting for network centric ubiquitous
systems
- Simulation, performance evaluation, experiments, and trials of
ubiquitous networks and applications
- Comprehensive survey on timely topics
Submission
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of
original manuscripts (not being considered for publication
elsewhere, not exceeding 12 single-column, single-spaced pages).
Authors should make sure that the submission can be viewed via
Acrobat Reader and printed correctly via standard letter or A4 size
paper. We strongly recommend authors to format their submissions in
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) style (instructions and templates are available
here). For the paper submission, please check the following

Proceedings
Accepted papers will be published as proceedings by LNCS, Springer-Verlag. Instructions about the
preparation of a final proceedings version will be sent to the authors
of accepted papers. Authors of an accepted paper must guarantee that
at least one of the authors will attend the symposium and present
their paper.
Selected Best Papers
A number of the best papers presented at the symposium will be
selected for publications in a special issue at JUCI (Journal of
Ubiquitous Computing and Intelligence).
