The 5th International Conference on Ubiquitous Information Technologies & Applications (CUTE 2010) will be held on December 16~18 2010, in Sanya , Hainan, China. The purpose of the CUTE 2010 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 Huangzhong University of Science & Techonology. The conference is technically co-sponsored by IEEE.

    Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and experience are solicited. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 6 pages, including tables and figures, according to the IEEE format. Submissions imply the willingness of at least one author to register, attend the conference, and present the paper. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceeding published by IEEE Press (IEEE eXpress Conference Publishing group) and will be included in the IEEE Xplorer (indexed by EI) and extended versions of some selected papers are to be published in the special issue of the following international journals:
