Ubiquitous computing paradigm foresees seamless integration of communicating and computational devices and applications (e.g., smart sensors, wireless networks and mobile agents) embedded in all parts of our environment, from our physical selves, to our homes, our offices, our streets and so forth. Although ubiquitous computing presents exciting enabling opportunities, the benefits will only be realized if security issues can be appropriately addressed.

The overall aim of this symposium is to provide a forum for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress in methods and technology concerning the identification of risks, the definition of security policies, and the development of security measures for ubiquitous computing.
