CALL FOR PAPERS

About the Conference

Nowadays we see strong demand for development of robust infrastructure

for retrieving, storing and processing information of various types,

which is obtained from and delivered to the broad spectrum of different

user devices. This is especially critical when the volume of information

increases as rapidly as its value. As a consequence the methods and

solutions for efficient processing, reusing and reasoning over user's

data has gained a lot of attention in the last years and became the key

aspect of application design. Further developments in this field creates

a lot of opportunities to apply new business models and is a key enabler

for the concept of pro-active service.

The wireless solutions have moved beyond their traditional areas of

application and today we can talk about a space where users can access

a number of wireless technologies and interact with various services.

Also the Internet of Things disrupts limitations of Internet that use

to based on human-entered data. New technologies for short-range and

low-power wireless communications, real-time localization and sensor

networks allow computers to perceive the world. Support of the future

commercial success of IoT solutions require efficient and scalable

infrastructures for managing, sharing and processing collected data.

We can see that reseach on interlinking of the physical and cyber worlds

is becoming more and more relevant. This conference is targeted to bring

together top specialist in the field to discuss ongoing studies and

obtained results.

Similarly, existent and future services cover the wide range of user

demands, ranging from searching and browsing contents to interactive

context and location aware solution that explore advanced multimedia

capabilities of the surrounding devices. These layers form a smart

environment that harmonizes a number of technologies and provides the

best possible personalized user experience. Also it helps to address

a number of challenges of the modern society, starting from efficient

indoor use of energy and to smart logistics and broad-scope deployment

of the green principles and technologies. This conference will explore

and explain the scope and challenges of smart space technologies and

solutions. In this regard, the conference aims to bring together

research professionals from diverse fields including but not limited

to wireless communication, ubiquitous networks, software development,

multimedia, services, and business in both academia and industry.

Conference proceedings will be published in LNCS, Springer (confirmed)

and indexed by relevant databases.

The ruSMART 2012 will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia - the meeting

point of East and West. Through its stunning architecture and wonderful

art galleries and museums, among a number of other attractions, the

wealth of history of East and West can be seen and felt in this

beautiful city.
