= Overview
With the proliferation of wireless technologies and electronic devices,
there is a fast growing interest in Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing (UPC).
UPC enables to create a human-oriented computing environment
where computer chips are embedded in everyday objects and interact with physical world.
Through UPC, people can get online even while moving around,
thus having almost permanent access to their preferred services.
With a great potential to revolutionize our lives, UPC also poses new research challenges.
This workshop will focus on the challenges and solutions for UPC with an emphasis on
intelligent, mobile and internet services.
The workshop will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to
discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of UPC.
The workshop will publish high quality papers, which are closely related to
the various theories and practical applications in UPC.
In addition, we expect that the workshop and its publications will be a trigger for
further related research and technology improvements in this important subject.

= Author Instruction
Authors are invited to submit research and application papers following
the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings
Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced, including figures and references,
using 10 fonts, and number each page.
You can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at the following web page:
http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.html

The authors should submit a full paper (8 pages), representing original, previously unpublished work.
Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance,
technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.
Contact author must provide the following information at the CISIS web site: paper title, authors' names, affiliations, postal address, phone, fax, and e-mail address of the author(s), about 200-250 word abstract, and about five keywords.
Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted,
at least one of the authors will register and present the paper in the conference.
Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance.

= Proceedings & Special Issue
Proceedings of the workshop will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press (indexed by EI).
The proceedings will be available at the conference.
At least one author of an accepted paper must register at the CISIS 2010 site and
present the paper at the workshop.
