==================== CALL FOR PAPERS OF IMIS-2015 ================== The 9-th International Conference on Innovative Mobile and Internet Services in Ubiquitous Computing (IMIS-2015) July 8-th to July 10-th, 2015 Regional University of Blumenau (FURB), Blumenau, Brazil http://voyager.ce.fit.ac.jp/conf/imis/2015/ The IMIS-2015 will be held in conjunction with CISIS-2015: http://voyager.ce.fit.ac.jp/conf/cisis/2015/ ========================== IMPORTANT DATES ========================== Submission Deadline: January 15, 2015 Authors Notification: March 25, 2015 Author Registration: April 10, 2015 Final Manuscript: April 25, 2015 (Hard deadline) Conference Dates: July 8-10, 2015 ========================== AIM & SCOPE ========================== With the proliferation of wireless technologies and electronic devices, there is a fast growing interest in Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing (UPC). UPC enables to create a human-oriented computing environment where computer chips are embedded in everyday objects and interact with physical world. Through UPC, people can get online even while moving around, thus having almost permanent access to their preferred services. With a great potential to revolutionize our lives, UPC also poses new research challenges. IMIS International Conference will focus on the challenges and solutions for UPC with an emphasis on innovative, mobile and internet services. The conference will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of UPC. The conference will publish high quality papers, which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in UPC. In addition, we expect that the conference and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject. -Theoretical Foundations for UPC -Algorithmic Paradigms, Models and Analysis for UPC -Context-aware Scheme -Smart Spaces and Intelligent Environments -Embedded Systems and Wearable Computers -Middleware and Agent Technologies -Programming Paradigms for Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing Applications -Knowledge-based Systems -Mobile Internet and Mobility Management -Wireless Sensors, Ad-hoc and Mesh Networks -Security Issues and Protocols -Security Threats and Model -Authentication and Access Control -Privacy and Trust -Ubiquitous Computing Applications -Business Model and Protocols for Ubiquitous Services -Emerging Standards and Technologies ================================== PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ================================== Submit a full paper not more than eight pages (Proceedings Manuscripts: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page.
