Sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Technical Committee of
Scalable Computing (TCSC)

INTRODUCTION
=============
The technologies of computing and communications have undergone a series of
evolutionary innovation over the past decades and improved the quality of
human life significantly. Computing and communications in the 21st century
faces an ever-increasing number of great challenges and revolutionary
developments. Ubiquitous Computing and Communications is a revolutionary
paradigm that aims to provide pervasive and reliable computing solutions and
communication services anytime and anywhere. This emerging technology is
built upon the rapid research and development advances in a wide range of
key areas including wireless and sensor networks, mobile and distributed
computing, embedded systems, agent technologies, autonomic communication,
and information security. Ubiquitous Computing and Communications has drawn
significant interests from both academia and industry and continues to
attract tremendous research efforts due to its promising new business
opportunity in information technology and engineering.

The 11th IEEE International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing and
Communications (IUCC-2012) is in a series of highly successful international
events, previously held as IUCC?2011(Dalian, China, August 2011), PMEO-
UCNS?2010 (Atlanta, USA, April 2010), PMEO-UCNS?2009 (Rome, Italy, May
2009), PMEO- UCNS?2008 (Miami, USA, April 2008), PMEO-PDS?2007 (Long Beach,
USA, March 2007), PMEO-PDS?2006 (Rhodes Island, Greece, April 2006),
PMEO-PDS?2005 (Denver, USA, April 2005), PMEO-PDS?2004 (Santa Fe, USA, April
2004), PMEO-PDS?2003 (Nice, France, April 2003), PMEO-PDS?2002 (Fort
Lauderdale, USA, April 2002).
IUCC-2012 will be held in Liverpool, a fantastic and popular tourist city
destination in the UK. Several areas of the city centre were granted World
Heritage Site status by UNESCO in 2004. Referred to as the Liverpool
Maritime Mercantile City, the site comprises six separate locations in the
city including the Pier Head, Albert Dock and William Brown Street and
includes many of the city's most famous landmarks.??The conference offers an
important international platform and brings together the scientists,
engineers, researchers, and students from academy and industry all over the
world to share their latest work, exchange experiences and discuss the
state-of-the-art challenges of ubiquitous computing and communications.
IUCC-2012 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers
addressing research challenges and advances towards the design,
implementation and evaluation of ubiquitous computing and communications
technologies, systems and applications.
