Research on ubiquitous intelligence is an exciting field covering many disciplines.A series of grand challenges exist to move from the current computing services to the ubiquitous intelligent/smart things.Ubiquitous sensors, devices, networks and information are paving the way towards a smart world in which computational intelligence is distributed throughout the physical environment to provide reliable and relevant services to people.This ubiquitous intelligence will change the computing landscape because it will enable new breeds of applications and systems to be developed and the realm of computing possibilities will be significantly extended.By enhancing everyday objects with intelligence, many tasks and processes could be simplified, more efficient and more enjoyable.Ubiquitous computing is to create such intelligent/smart environments, services and applications.There are 125 regular research papers and 146 research papers, selected by the program committee among 694 full submissions from 16 countries or regions.This year, the acceptance rate of regular research papers and research papers are 18.0% and 21.0%, respectively.All submissions were reviewed by at least 3 program committee members.These high-quality submissions cover many hot research topics, including Intelligent/Smart Object and Interaction, Intelligent/Smart Environment and Application, Intelligent/Smart Systems and Services, Personalization and Social Aspects, to name a few.
