Overview
The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Information Technologies & Applications (ICUT 2009) will be held on December 20~22 2009, in Kyushu Sangyo University, Fukuoka, Japan. The purpose of the ICUT 2009 is to promote discussion and interaction among academics, researchers and professionals in the field of ubiquitous computing technologies. Ubiquitous computing aims to cover the topics of seamless, secure, and intuitive access for distributed processing of various ubiquitous computing applications. Since the technology is evolving into the direction of wireless and the fast processing speed is also getting more attention, there have been many efforts to support the ubiquitous computing through distributed and parallel processing over the scattered networks.
  This conference provides an international forum for the presentation and showcase of recent advances on various aspects of ubiquitous computing. It will reflect the state-of-the-art of the computational methods, involving theory, algorithm, numerical simulation, error and uncertainty analysis and/or novel application of new processing techniques in engineering, science, and other disciplines related to ubiquitous computing. In this conference, several topics on the specific themes for intensive discussions are also planned according to the areas of interest. This conference is hosted by Korea Information Processing Society (KIPS) and Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI). The conference will be IEEE Technical Co-Sponsorship.
