-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The 3rd Workshop on Trustworthy Ubiquitous Computing (TwUC 2008) is held in
conjunction with IIWAS 2008, November 24-26, 2008, in Linz, Austria.

Ubiquitous applications are getting more and more to the market these days. In
spite of many applications and projects in the area of ubiquitous and pervasive
computing the success of this technologies and the acceptance from the user is
still low resulting from missing trust into computing systems introduced into
our real world.

TwUC was established to provide a forum to scientists, engineers and industry
to address recent research results, to present and discuss their ideas,
theories, technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and
experiences on all theoretical and practical issues and to elaborate about the
research areas of security, reliability and privacy which build the basis for
creating trustworthy interfaces and computing environments for people
interacting in ubiquitous environments.
