2010 International Workshop on Ubiquitous Service Platforms
(IWUSP 2010) is a one-day event held in conjunction with the 18th
IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP 2010).
Ubiquitous networking systems using RFID tags and several kinds of
sensors are expected for constructing safe society and improving
industrial productivity. However, there still exist several problems
to be solved in order to improve the systems in terms of generality,
expandability, and compatibility. IWUSP 2010 focuses on ubiquitous
service platforms, pervasive computing and communications, and mobile
computing systems. Research work on applying networking techniques to
service oriented architectures as well as design issues in ubiquitous
systems is also encouraged for submission.

Topics of Interest include (but are not limited to):
----------------------------------------------------
- Ubiquitous service platforms
- Mobile/wireless computing systems and services
- Design issues of ubiquitous systems
- Sensors, smart devices, and RFID in ubiquitous systems
- Advanced sensing systems
- Positioning and tracking technologies
- Innovative pervasive computing systems
- Middleware and agent technologies for ubiquitous systems
- Ad hoc networks for ubiquitous applications
- Wearable computers
- Standardization for ubiquitous service platforms
- Ubiquitous services in urban areas
- Adaptive context-aware systems
- Energy-efficient and green IT
- Other topics related to ubiquitous services
