-- CALL FOR PAPERS - Deadline for submissions: 26 April 2009 --

============================================================= The fourth International Symposium on Smart Home (SH-09) http://www.ftrg.org/SH09

to be held on June 5, 2009 Toronto, Canada in conjunction with The Sixth Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services (MobiQuitous 2009, http://www.mobiquitous.org/ ) =============================================================

Smart Home Environments (SHEs) are emerging rapidly as an exciting new paradigm including ubiquitous, grid, and peer-to-peer computing to provide computing and communication services any time and anywhere. To full realize the advantages of the paradigm, we require a host of suitable security services and their applications. They will offer the user remote access to all information about appliances in the workplace as well as at home, and help easily and conveniently use various services to enable working from home, and facilitate remote education, remote diagnosis, virtual shopping, network gaming, and portal & high quality VOD with no limitations on space and time.

SH-2009 is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art research in the area of SHE including business models, security services, and novel applications associated with its utilization. As a follow-up of the symposium, we plan to publish high quality papers, covering the various theories and practical applications related to smart home. The published papers are expected to present the high level results to solve the application services and various problems in the various SH fields. In addition, we expect they will trigger further related research and technological improvements of the SH.

The goal of the SH-2009 is to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of Information Technology.
