- Sensor Networks
- Smartphone Platform and Applications
- Software Engineering
- Technologies for E-Learning
- WWW Applications and Technologies
- Visualization
- XML and other Extensible Languages

*** Papers ***
All papers will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process by at least three referees. All accepted papers will be published under the ACM proceeding and will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Selected papers will be recommended for publication in several International Journals as a special RACS 2012 section.

*** Special Workshop/Track Proposal ***
In conjunction with the RACS 2012, a number of special workshops and tracks will be organized. Workshop/track proposals which should include "Title of the workshop/track", "Purpose of the workshop/track", "Short bios of organizers", "A tentative list of TPC", and "A tentative website address" are to be sent to the program chair (jiman@ssu.ac.kr) by April 10, 2012.
