Introduction<br>
<br><span style="color:black;font-family:Verdana">The technologies of computing and
communications have undergone a
series of evolutionary innovation
over the past decades and improved
the quality of human life
significantly. Computing and
communications in the 21st century
faces an ever-increasing number of
great challenges and revolutionary
developments. Ubiquitous Computing
and Communications is a
revolutionary paradigm that aims to
provide pervasive and reliable
computing solutions and
communication services anytime and
anywhere. This emerging technology
is built upon the rapid research and
development advances in a wide range
of key areas including wireless and
sensor networks, mobile and
distributed computing, embedded
systems, agent technologies,
autonomic communication, and
information security. Ubiquitous
Computing and Communications has
drawn significant interests from
both academia and industry and
continues to attract tremendous
research efforts due to its
promising new business opportunity
in information technology and
engineering.</span></div>

international platform and brings
together the scientists, engineers,
researchers, and students from
academy and industry all over the
world to share their latest work,
exchange experiences and discuss the
state-of-the-art challenges of
ubiquitous computing and
communications. IUCC 2018 is
soliciting original and previously
unpublished papers addressing
research challenges and advances
towards the design, implementation
and evaluation of ubiquitous
computing and communications
technologies, systems and
applications.</span></p>
