= OVERVIEW =
Future technology information technology would stand for all of
continuously evolving and converging information technologies, including
digital convergence, multimedia convergence, intelligent applications,
embedded systems, mobile and wireless communications, bio-inspired
computing, grid and cloud computing, semantic web, user experience and
HCI, secuity and trust computing and so on, for satisfying our
ever-changing needs.
In past twenty five years or so, Information Technology (IT) influenced
and changed every aspect of our lives and our cultures. Without various
IT-based applications, we would find it difficult to keep information
stored securely, to process information efficiently, and to communicate
information conveniently. In the future world, IT will play a very
important role in convergence of computing, communication, and all other
computational sciences and application and IT also will influence the
future world's various areas, including science, engineering, industry,
business, law, politics, culture, medicine, and so on.
Our conference is intended to foster the dissemination of
state-of-the-art research in all future IT areas, including their
models, services, and novel applications associated with their utilization.

FutureTech 2011 is the next edition of FutureTech 2010 (Busan, Korea,
May 2010) which was the next event in a series of highly successful the
International Symposium on Ubiquitous Applications & Security Services
(UASS-09, USA, Jan. 2009), previously held as UASS-08 (Okinawa, Japan,
Mar. 2008), UASS-07 (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, August, 2007), and UASS-06
(Glasgow, Scotland, UK, May, 2006).

Instructions for papers in the Springer's CCIS（Note that the paper format of CCIS is the same as that of LNCS）

- Prepare your paper in the exact format as the sample paper for CCIS. Failure to do so may result in the exclusion of your paper from the proceedings. Please read the authors' instructions carefully before preparing your papers.
- Springer accepts both Microsoft Word and LaTex format in the Lecture Note Series. However, FTRA does not accept the use of LaTex. Therefore, you should use the Microsoft Word instead of using LaTex (The paper will be excluded from the proceeding if you use LaTex). Springer provides the relevant templates and sample files for both PC (sv-lncs.dot) and Mac (sv-lncs) environments.
- Please download word.zip (http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/word.zip?SGWID=0-0-45-72919-0). If you need more help on preparing your papers, please visit Springer's LNCS web page (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-2-72376-0).

Call for Workshop Proposals

Several workshops will be held in conjunction with FutureTech 2010 with the aim to explore special topics and provide international forums for scientists, engineers, and computer users to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results on hot topics on Future Information Technology.

Workshops for presenting papers from industrial companies and papers on implementations of systems and services are very welcome. It is expected that the proceedings of the workshop programs will be published by CCIS (Springer) (CCIS is indexed in ISI Proceedings and Scopus).

In general, a workshop takes one day, although multiple-days and half-day workshops are welcome. Please send a workshop proposal by November 1, 2010 to Workshop Co-chairs.

Financial Support for Workshop Organizer:

If a workshop were organized successfully, the organizer (1 organizer per 1 workshop) will get:
* At least 8 papers registration: Free registration
* At least 16 papers registration: Free registration and Free accommodation (Max. 2 nights).
