GENERAL INFORMATION:

This conference explores emerging interests and novel ideas in the area of
information management, communication technologies and their implication 
of social interaction. The aim of the Fifth International Conference on 
Ubiquitous Information Management and Communication is to provide a forum 
promoting new visionary approaches and interdisciplinary researches. The 
conference brings researchers together from academia and industry, 
encourages the exchanges of ideas and information, and provides a unique 
opportunity in which both technology and social science meet. Two main 
tracks for information processing management and communication will be 
held, covering both research and application works of information 
management, intelligent information processing, interaction management, 
networking/telecommunications, and social interaction.
