[Introduction]
The second International Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing & Applications (IWUCA2010) will be held in Hainan Island, China, December 16 ~ 18, 2010 (in conjunction with CUTE2010).
The workshop interest focuses on ubiquitous computing technologies and their applications, and includes the following three research scopes: ubiquitous computing new paradigm, technologies and applications.
This workshop will support an opportunity for industry and academic professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress.
The workshop will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in ubiquitous computing and applications.
Furthermore, we hope that this workshop will provide us with a good chance to share creative ideas regarding ubiquitous computing and applications with other researchers and engineers from institutions around the world.


[Proceeding and Publication]
Every submitted paper will be carefully reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee.
