Introduction
----------------------
The 2012 International Workshop on Agent, Social Networks, and Ubiquitous Computing (ASNUC 2012) will be held in Vancouver, Canada, June 26-28, 2012.
In ubiquitous computing environments providing appropriate services and information to users at the right place in the right way is challenging for many reasons: different user interests, heterogeneous devices and services, dynamic networks, information overload, or differing privacy levels, for example. Agent technology is a paradigm expected to play an increasing role in complex computing environments, and due to the increasing popularity of social networking services we expect to see the convergence of agent and social web technologies. The goal of this theme issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions that examine the convergence of agent technologies and social networks for Ubiquitous Computing
