     The First International Workshop on Ubiquitous Smart Worlds (USW2005) 
           http://www.takilab.k.dendai.ac.jp/conf/usw/2005

       in conjunction with the 19th IEEE International Conference on 
       Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA2005)
           http://www.mine.tku.edu.tw/AINA2005
                
           Tamkang University, Taipei, March 28-30, 2005

 We are stepping into a post-PC era, in which a huge number and great variety 
 of computers with different shapes, sizes and functions will be everywhere, 
 so ubiquitous around us and pervasive in our environment. Such vision was 
 first depicted by Mark Weiser, and associated technologies and applications 
 were called ubiquitous computing (Ubicomp or Ubicom) by him around 1990 and 
 later called pervasive computing (Percom) by IBM in 1999. Although many new 
 terms of computing, e.g., invisible computing, disappearing computing, 
 proactive computing, autonomic computing, everyday computing, sentient 
 computing, amorphous computing, ambient intelligence, palpable computing 
 and so on, have appeared since 2000, they can be regarded as something 
 driven from ubicom with some special emphasis on or extensions of some 
 aspects in the broad `ubiquitous' frontier.

 Cyberworld brings us to the computerized digital virtual world. Ubicom,
 in contrast, brings computers to the physical real world including 
 everyday environments and ourselves. Following ubiquitous computers (UC)
 and ubiquitous networks (UN), is a road towards ubiquitous intelligence (UI)
 or a smart world (SW). This is a graceful integration of the physical world
 and the cyberworld, in which ambient smart environments including smart
 objects embedded or attached with small or tiny networked computers/processors
 can greet us, remind us, advise us, and help us perform many jobs 
automatically,
 precisely, promptly, trustworthily, reliably, comfortably and politely. At the
 same time, the resulting integration is knowing and adapting to the rich
 dynamic contexts of our human, social, physical environment and digital world.
 This workshop offers a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences
 in developing smart objects/materials, smart spaces/environments, and related
 networking/middleware technologies as well as discuss personal and social 
issues
 faced by the smart world.
