Preface
Ubiquitous sensors, devices, networks and information are paving the way toward a
smart world in which computational intelligence is distributed throughout the physical
environment to provide reliable and relevant services to people. This ubiquitous
intelligence will change the computing landscape because it will enable new breeds of
applications and systems to be developed, and the realm of computing possibilities
will be significantly extended. By enhancing everyday objects with intelligence, many
tasks and processes could be simplified, the physical spaces where people interact,
like workplaces and homes, could become more efficient, safer and more enjoyable.
Ubiquitous computing, or pervasive computing, uses these many “smart things” or
“u-things” to create smart environments, services and applications.
A smart thing can be endowed with different levels of intelligence, and may be con-
text-aware, active, interactive, reactive, proactive, assistive, adaptive, automated,
sentient, perceptual, cognitive, autonomic and/or thinking. Research on ubiquitous
intelligence is an emerging research field covering many disciplines. A series of grand
challenges exists to move from the current level of computing services to the smart
world of adaptive and intelligent services. Started in 2005, the series of UIC
conferences has been held in Taipei, Nagasaki, Three Gorges (China), Hong Kong,
Oslo and Brisbane.
The proceedings contain the papers presented at the 7th International Conference
on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC 2010), held in Xi’an, China, October
26–29, 2010. The conference was accompanied by six vibrant workshops on a variety
of research challenges within the area of ubiquitous intelligence and computing.
This year, the main conference received 128 submissions of which 36 were ac-
cepted as regular papers, corresponding to an acceptance rate of 28%. It had three
keynote speeches from Sumi Helal, Kenji Mase, and Christian Becker. Also included
were one invited paper, six special session papers, and five PSC (Pervasive Social
Computing) special-track papers this year.
We would like to thank all the researchers and practitioners who submitted their
work to UIC 2010, organized a workshop, or helped in any other way to make the
conference a success. Special thanks go to the Program Vice Chairs, Program Com-
mittee members and external reviewers for all their work evaluating the papers, which
is highly appreciated and absolutely vital to ensure the high quality of the conference.
We offer our sincere thanks to the Steering Committee Chairs Jianhua Ma and Laur-
ence T. Yang for their scientific suggestions and strong support. We appreciate the
Publicity Co-chairs for advertising the conference. Many thanks also go to the Local
Arrangement Chair, Yuying Wang, and Web Administration Chair, Haipeng Wang,
for taking on much miscellaneous work.
VI Preface
Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the support by Northwestern Polytechnical Uni-
versity, Nokia, and the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), as well as the
technical sponsorships by IEEE, IEEE CS and the IEEE Technical Committee of
Scalable Computing (TCSC).
