     Introduction

----------------------

Future technology information technology would stand for all of

continuously evolving and converging information technologies, including

digital convergence, multimedia convergence, intelligent applications,

embedded systems, mobile and wireless communications, bio-inspired

computing, grid and cloud computing, semantic web, user experience and

HCI, security and trust computing and so on, for satisfying our

ever-changing needs.

In past twenty five years or so, Information Technology (IT) influenced

and changed every aspect of our lives and our cultures. Without various

IT-based applications, we would find it difficult to keep information

stored securely, to process information efficiently, and to communicate

information conveniently. In the future world, IT will play a very

important role in convergence of computing, communication, and all other

computational sciences and application and IT also will influence the

future world's various areas, including science, engineering, industry,

business, law, politics, culture, medicine, and so on.

Our conference is intended to foster the dissemination of

state-of-the-art research in all future IT areas, including their

models, services, and novel applications associated with their utilization.

 

 

FutureTech 2012 is the next edition of FutureTech 2011(Loutraki, Greece),
FutureTech 2010 (Busan, Korea,

May 2010) which was the next event in a series of highly successful the
International Symposium on Ubiquitous Applications & Security Services
