Welcome Message
The technologies of computing and communications have undergone a series of evolutionary innovation over the past decades and improved the quality of human life significantly. Computing and communications in the 21st century faces an ever-increasing number of great challenges and revolutionary development. Ubiquitous Computing and Communications is a revolutionary paradigm that aims to provide pervasive and reliable computing solutions and communication services anytime and anywhere. This emerging technology is built upon the rapid research and development advances in a wide range of key areas including wireless and sensor networks, mobile and distributed computing, embedded systems, agent technologies, autonomic communication, and information security. Ubiquitous Computing and Communications has drawn significant interests from both academia and industry and continues to attract tremendous research efforts due to its promising new business opportunity in information technology and engineering.
The conference offers an important international platform and brings together the scientists, engineers, researchers, and students from academy and industry all over the world to share their latest work, exchange experiences and discuss the state-of-the-art challenges of ubiquitous computing and communications. IUCC-2024 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances towards the design, implementation and evaluation of ubiquitous computing and communications technologies, systems and applications. IUCC-2024 follows the tradition of a successful series of conferences that have been held all along the world, in places as Exeter (UK) in 2023, Chongqing (China) in 2022, London (UK) in 2021, Exeter (UK) in 2020, Shenyang (China) in 2019, Melbourne (Australia) in 2018, Guangzhou (China) in 2017, Granada (Spain) in 2016, Liverpool (UK) in 2015, Chengdu (China) in 2014, and Melbourne (Australia) in 2013.
IUCC-2024 is planned to be hosted in Chengdu, China. Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to IUCC-2024. The authors of selected best papers will be invited post conference to extend their contributions for special issues of prestigious journals to be planned in conjunction with the conference.

Paper Submission Guideline
All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission website (https://conf.smartconf24.org/iucc2024/) with PDF format. The materials presented in the papers should not be published or under submission elsewhere. Use the standard IEEE Transactions templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats found at: IEEE templates. Each paper is limited to 8 pages (or 10 pages with over length charge) including figures and references.
Once accepted, the papers will be included into the conference proceedings to be published by IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS). CPS enforces a "no show" policy and only papers that are presented by an author will be submitted for inclusion in the digital libraries. At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested to register the paper. If required, online presentation can be supported. While all CPS conferences will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore and the CSDL, all conference proceedings must meet IEEE's quality standards, and IEEE reserves the right not to publish any proceedings that do not meet these standards.
