Introduction
--------------
Future technology information technology would stand for all of continuously evolving and converging information technologies, including digital convergence, multimedia convergence, intelligent applications, embedded systems, mobile and wireless communications, bio-inspired computing,
grid and cloud computing, semantic web, user experience and HCI, security and trust computing and so on, for satisfying our ever-changing needs.
In past twenty five years or so, Information Technology (IT) influenced and changed every aspect of our lives and our cultures. Without various IT-based applications,
we would find it difficult to keep information stored securely, to process information efficiently, and to communicate information conveniently.
In the future world, IT will play a very important role in convergence of computing, communication, and all other computational sciences and application
and IT also will influence the future world's various areas, including science, engineering, industry, business, law, politics, culture, medicine, and so on.
Our conference is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art research in all future IT areas, including their models, services, and novel applications associated with their utilization.
FutureTech2016 is the next edition of FutureTech2015(Hanoi, Vietnam), FutureTech2014(Zhangjiajie, China), FutureTech 2013(Gwangju, Korea), FutureTech2012(Vancouver, Canada), FutureTech2011(Loutraki, Greece), FutureTech2010 (Busan, Korea)
which were the next events in a series of highly successful the International Symposium on Ubiquitous Applications & Security Services(UASS-09, USA), previously held as UASS-08(Okinawa, Japan), UASS-07 (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), and UASS-06(Glasgow, Scotland, UK).

Please download word.zip

If you need more help on preparing your papers, please visit Springer's LNCS web page (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-2-72376-0).

All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings as one of Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering (LNEE) series published by Springer (indexed by EI & SCOPUS).

Distinguished accepted and presented papers in FutureTech2016, after further revisions, will be published in the special issues of the following international journals (Pending):
- The Journal of Supercomputing - Springer (SCI)
- Multimedia Tools and Applications (MTAP) - Springer (SCIE)
- Human-centric Computing and Information Sciences (HCIS) - Springer (SCOPUS)

** This is the current index status of the journal. However, the journal indices may be changed due to several reasons. In that case, we are not responsible for it
** When authors recommend potential reviewers for their paper, the recommended reviewers' countries must be different.
** The recommended authors MUST strongly keep the recommendation guideline for the submission.
