CALL FOR PAPERS - TwUC 2006

First International Workshop on Trustworthy Ubiquitous Computing (TwUC 2006)

December 4, 2006 Yogyakarta, Indonesia

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marc Weiser presented his vision of disappearing and ubiquitous computing more
than 15 years ago. The big picture of the computer introduced into our
environment was a big innovation and the  starting point for various areas of
research. In order to totally adopt the idea of ubiquitous computing several
houses were build, equipped with technology and used as laboratory in order to
find and test appliances that are useful and could be made available in our
everyday life. Within the last years industry picked up the idea of integrating
ubiquitous computing and several already available products like remote controls
for your house exist and can be bought today.

In spite of many applications and projects in the area of ubiquitous and
pervasive computing the success is still far away. One of the main reasons is
the lack of acceptance of and confidence in this technology. Although
researchers and industry are working in all of these areas a forum to elaborate
security, reliability and privacy issues, that resolve in trustworthy interfaces
and computing environments for people interacting within these ubiquitous
environments is important.

The goal of TwUC 2006 workshop is to provide an international forum for
scientists, engineers and industry to address recent research results and to
present and discuss their ideas, theories, technologies, systems, tools,
applications, work in progress and experiences on all theoretical and practical
issues.
