***************** SSDU-08 ******************* The 2nd International Symposium on Service, Security and its Data management technologies in Ubi-comp (SSDU-08), to be held in conjunction with The Third International Conference on Grid and Pervasive Computing (GPC 2008), held in Kunming, China, May 25-28, 2007 http://grid.hust.edu.cn/gpc2008/ ********************************************************************* The workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society. Best SSDU-08 papers will be invited to a special issue of International Journal of Communication Systems SSDU-08 Overview Ubiquitous Computing (Ubi-comp) is emerging rapidly as an exciting new paradigm with user-centric environment to provide computing and communication services at any time and anywhere. In order to realize their advantages, it requires integrating security, services and data management to be suitable for Ubi-com. However, there are still many problems and major challenges awaiting for us to solve such as the security risks in ubiquitous resource sharing, which could be occurred when data resources are connected and accessed by anyone in Ubi-com. Therefore, it will be needed to explore more secure and intelligent mechanism in Ubi-com. Topics: *Context-Awareness and its Data mining for Ubi-com service *Human-Computer Interface and Interaction for Ubi-com *Smart Homes and its business model for Ubi-com service *Intelligent Multimedia Service and its Data management for Ubi-com *USN / RF-ID for Ubi-com service *Network security issues, protocols, data security in Ubi-com *Database protection for Ubi-com *Privacy Protection and Forensic in Ubi-com *Multimedia Security in Ubi-com *Authentication and Access control for data protection in Ubi-com *Service, Security and its Data management for U-commerce *New novel mechanism and Applications for Ubi-com IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Deadline: 24 January, 2008 Author Notification: 15 February, 2008 Camera-ready Submission Deadline: 1 March, 2008 ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION SSDU-08 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Please submit paper with 10~12 pages in IEEE Computer Society Style format. Paper submission should be electronic in only PDF format. Submission system: See Information for Authors of IEEE Computer Society Press for formatting information. Submissions must not exceed 12 pages, including tables and figures, with only PDF. Submitting a paper to the workshop means that if the paper is accepted, at least one author should attend the workshop to present the paper.
