      The 4th International Workshop on 

Enablers for Ubiquitous Computing and Smart Services

     EUCASS 2013 in IEEE COMPSAC 2013

Sensors, tags and actuators are being networked and 

deployed everywhere. Application of those devices using smartphones is also rapidly becoming popular ? we use smartphones to check and control home appliances and building automation systems. Cloud computing technologies have enabled virtualization of these devices, and they powerfully provide Smart Services over the Internet.

The enablers of Smart X (e.g., Smart City, Smart Grid, 

Smart House, … ) include those sensors, tags, actuators, phones, ubiquitous computing platforms and services. They have been also called as M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communications, and IoT (Internet-of-Things). The research topics for the emerging Smart Services are:

• sensor and actuator networks
  • sensor data management
  • service platforms
  • service aggregation
  • building/home energy management services
  • green ICT, smart gird
  • overlay networks
  • distributed (and stream) processing and management
  • delay tolerant networks for sensors
  • RFID tags
  • people-centric sensing, human-probe systems
  • privacy protection
  • how-to-deploy (feasibility study)

  We respect deployable or feasible works especially inspired by social needs or industrial requirements because the future of smart services should be driven by those sociological movement.

  We welcome business persons as well as academic and industrial researchers. Reports and suggestions on research, advancing technologies, business models, industrial case studies, and implementations are also welcomed. We also welcome work-in-progress paper in this workshop.

• Paper Submission

Papers must be submitted electronically via the EUCASS 2013 Submission Page.

Follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers:

http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/submission.

All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least three reviewers. Papers can be submitted as regular papers (6 pages), and the acceptance will depend on reviewer feedback.

Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings of the IEEE Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC 2013) by the IEEE CS Press.
