In the last few years we have witnessed a significant increase in the use of computers and mobile devices in Ubiquitous Computing Systems. While this is a welcome trend, security concerns are becoming one of the major problems. It is affecting the adoption rate and usage of these systems. Unless deliberate efforts are taken to secure these systems from design to implementation most of the development achieved to date may not be realised and rolled out to the real world.

The Ubiquitous Computing Security Issues (UCSI) workshop will bring together researchers and industry participants who are involved with the design, development, and implementation of novel applications and frameworks in the domain of Ubiquitous Computing. 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.

The workshop is intended to take half a day. It will comprise of short presentations on the key security issues. These issues will then be open for review and discussion. At the end of the workshop a panel session will be held to sum up the major findings and contributions made during the workshop.
