<p style="margin:0cm;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.7pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11pt">Ubiquitous
Computing and Communications is a revolutionary paradigm that aims to provide
pervasive and reliable computing solutions and communication services anytime
and anywhere. This emerging technology is built upon the rapid research and
development advances in a wide range of key areas including wireless and sensor
networks, mobile and distributed computing, embedded systems, agent
technologies, autonomic communication, and information security. Ubiquitous
Computing and Communications has drawn significant interests from both academia
and industry and continues to attract tremendous research efforts due to its
promising new business opportunity in information technology and engineering.
The conference offers an important international platform and brings together
the scientists, engineers, researchers, and students from academy and industry
all over the world to share their latest work, exchange experiences and discuss
the state-of-the-art challenges of ubiquitous computing and communications.
IUCC-2021 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing
research challenges and advances towards the design, implementation and
evaluation of ubiquitous computing and communications technologies, systems and
applications. </span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;text-align:justify;text-indent:22.7pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11pt">IUCC-2021 is
planned to be hosted in London, UK. However, if the COVID-19 situation and
associated travel restrictions remain, the conference will be held virtually.
All accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and will be
indexed by Engineering Index (EI). The authors of selected best papers will be
invited post conference to extend their contributions for special issues of
prestigious journals to be planned in conjunction with the conference.</span></p>
