Aims and Scopes  
---------------
Nowadays we are surrounded by a multitude of artefacts which are embedded 
with computing and networking capabilities providing us services and 
information anytime and everywhere. This technological evolution is 
called Ubiquitous Computing. Equipped with Intelligence these artefacts 
are aimed to improve the quality of our lives and support us during our 
everyday activities.

The UCI-2007 symposium aims to provide a platform to bring together 
researchers from industry and academia in the areas of Ubiquitous Computing, 
Intelligent Computing and related areas to showcase their current novel
research results and discuss future trends with experts in these areas.
