ICUIMC

It may be said that modern information technology rests on three technology pillars: semiconductor technology, communications technology, and information processing software technology. During the past two decades there have been tremendous advances in all three pillars and their unrelenting convergence that have brought us significantly closer to the realization of the long-envisioned dream of an information society in which anyone can access the cumulative knowledge of the mankind inexpensively from anywhere at any time, namely that of a ubiquitous information age. The aim of the Fourth International Conference on Ubiquitous Information Management and Communication (ICUIMC-2010) is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information, for cultivating opportunities for collaborative research, and for fostering friendship among researchers in key technology hotbeds in the Asia Pacific region engaged in various facets of information management and communications technologies appropriate for ubiquitous computing and application environments.

The technical program of ICUIMC-2010 includes 85 papers: 5 invited papers, 56 refereed regular papers (18 from Korea and 38 from outside of Korea), and 24 refereed short papers (16 from Korea and 8 from outside of Korea). The acceptance rate for regular papers was 29%. The number of countries represented in the technical program is 8.
