Research & Open Track: Plenary session

Keynote address:
• Ubiquitous Intelligence: Vision and Challenges
Professor Laurence T. Yang - Saint Francis-Xavier University, Canada

Together with Professor Jianhua Ma (Hosei University, Japan), Professor Laurence T. Yang is editor-in-chief of the Journal of Ubiquitous Computing and Intelligence (JUCI), a journal published by American Scientific Publishers (ASP). The quality of AmI.d's two best papers will be rewarded by a publication in the JUCI.
Right after his keynote address, Professor Yang will have the honour to announce which two papers have been selected and deserve to be published.

The Journal of Ubiquitous Computing and Intelligence tackles the most innovative researches and developments within ubiquitous computing and intelligence and covers all the aspects related to these research areas and to the smart world. A special emphasis is given to methodologies, models, semantics, awareness, architectures, middleware, tools, designs, implementations, experiments, evaluations, and non-technical but crucial factors in the practical applications of ubiquitous computing and intelligence related to economics, society, culture, ethics. The JUCI aims to assist academics, industrial professionals, educators and policy makers in contributing to and disseminating innovative work in the ubiquitous computing and intelligence fields."
