[dbjapan] Please help distribute CFP for UIC-08


Dear Sir,

I am working as the publicity chair for the conference. 
Would you please distribute this CFP for me?
Thanks for your help.
********************* UIC-08 Call For Papers *************************
The 5th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing
(UIC-08)
- Building Smart Worlds in Real and Cyber Spaces -

http://www.uic-conference.org/2008/ 
http://www.iu.hio.no/uic08/

Organized by Oslo University College and University of Stavanger, Norway
Technical Sponsorship by IEEE Task Force on Intelligent Ubiquitous Computing
                Oslo, Norway, June 23-25, 2008
**********************************************************

Ubiquitous computers, networks and information are paving a road towards a
smart world (SW) in which computational intelligence is distributed
throughout the physical environment to provide trustworthy and relevant
services to people. This ubiquitous intelligence (UI) will change the
computing landscape because it will enable new breeds of applications and
systems to be developed; the realm of computing possibilities will be
significantly extended. By embedding digital intelligence in everyday
objects, our workplaces, our homes and even ourselves, many tasks and
processes could be simplified, made more efficient, safer and more
enjoyable. Ubiquitous computing, or pervasive computing, composes these many
"smart things/u-things" to create the environments that underpin the smart
world.

A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may
be context-aware, active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive,
adaptive, automated, sentient, perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or
thinking. Intelligent/smart things is an emerging research field covering
many disciplines. A series of grand challenges exist to move from the world
of ubiquitous computing with universal services of any means/place/time to
the smart world of trustworthy services with the right means/place/time.
UIC-08 is a successor of the 1st Int'l Workshop on Ubiquitous Smart Worlds
(USW-05, Taipei, Mar. 2005), the 2nd Int'l Symposium on Ubiquitous
Intelligence, Smart Worlds (UISW-05, Japan, Dec. 2005), the 3rd Int'l
Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC-06, Three Gorges,
China, Sept. 2006) and the 4th Int'l Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence 
and Computing (UIC-07, Hong Kong). It offers a forum for researchers to 
exchange ideas and experiences in developing intelligent/smart objects, 
environments, and systems as well as discuss various
personal/social/physical 
issues faced by UI and smart worlds. 

Topics include but are not limited to the following:

1. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Objects
  * Electronic Labels, Cards, E-Tags and RFID
  * Embedded Chips, Sensors & Actuators
  * MEMS, NEMS, Micro & Biometric Devices
  * Everyday Goods, Artifacts, Robots, etc.

  * Shop, Clinic, Hospital and Health Care 
  * Street, Yard, Park, Ground, City, etc.
  * Vehicle, Road, Traffic & Transportation
  * Land, Pool, Space and Hyperspace
  * Learning, Sport, Entertainment, etc. 
  * Novel Intelligent/Smart Applications

3. Ubiquitous Intelligent/Smart Systems
  * Sensor, Ad Hoc & Intelligent Networks
  * Knowledge Representation and Ontology
  * Wearable, Personal and Body Area Systems
  * OS, Middleware and Intelligent Platforms

4. Personal/Social/Physical Aspects
  * Real/Cyber World Modeling and Semantics
  * End-User Interface, Control & Programming
  * Social/Natural/Physical Model of UI & SW
  * User/Object Identity and Activity Recognition
  * Security, Privacy, Safety and Legal/Policy Issues
  * Emotional, Ethical and Psychological Factors
  * Implication and Impact of UI and SW
  * Relations between Real and Cyber Worlds

== IMPORTANT DATES ==

Submission Deadline:    January  05,  2008
Authors Notification: 	March    05,  2008 
Final Manuscript Due: 	April    05,  2008 

== ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION ==

Prepare your paper according to the LNCS format. Submit your paper(s) 
in PDF-format at the UIC-08 submission site: http://www.iu.hio.no/uic08/sub/

== PAPER PUBLICATION ==

Accepted papers are planned to be published by Lecture Note in Computer 
Science (LNCS). Final page limit will be announced later. At least one 
author of each accepted paper is requested to register and present their 
work at the conference, otherwise the paper will be removed from the 
digital library after the conference.

Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in special 
issues of the Journal of Ubiquitous Computing and Intelligence (JUCI), and 
the International Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications (JPCC).
