The Third International Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing Security Issues (UCSI'12)
			http://www.comp.dit.ie/ucsi-2012/

			
			In conjunction with the 
7th International Conference for Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (ICITST-2012)
			December 10-12, 2012, London, UK
			   http://www.icitst.org/


Workshop Summary
================
In the last few years we have witnessed a significant increase in the use of computers and mobile devices in Ubiquitous 
Computing (Ubicomp) Systems. While this is a welcoming trend, security concerns become a major obstacle for adoption of 
Ubicomp systems. Unless deliberate efforts are taken to ensure secure Ubicomp systems from design to implementation, 
most of the advancements in Ubicomp research may not be realised.

The Ubiquitous Computing Security Issues (UCSI) workshop will bring together researchers and industry participants who are 
involved in the design, development, and implementation of novel applications, architectures and frameworks from the Ubicomp
research domain. The UCSI workshop will provide a high profile, leading edge forum for researchers and engineers alike to present 
state-of-the-art research in the field of security for Ubiquitous Computing.

The UCSI workshop invites original, high-quality research contributions. In particular, contributions that identify the 
state-of-the-art in the design, development, deployment, evaluation and understanding of security issues for Ubiquitous 
Computing systems.
