<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>====================</div><div> Introduction</div><div>====================</div><div><br></div><div>The 8th International Symposium on Wireless sensor network Technologies and Applications for Smart Space (WTA 2012) </div>
<div>will be held in Jeju, Korea, November 22-25, 2012. Smart Spaces (SS) represents an advanced communication environment </div><div>featuring daily-life objects that continuously involve and are focused on final non-expert users. SS has rapidly emerged </div>
<div>as an exciting new paradigm that tends to include different active research fields such as ubiquitous, grid, and P2P </div><div>computing. SS environments have recently raised tremendous interests in both the academic and the industrial research </div>
<div>communities as one of the most promising application fields for pervasive computing services.</div><div>The WTA 2012 aims to address system and network issues for SS communications. It will solicit both original research papers </div>
<div>and review articles that enhance the state-of-the-art in these fields, including topics like effective context extraction and </div><div>representation, context-based service discovery, context-based service composition, integration of legacy systems and services, </div>
<div>security theory, business models, and novel applications that are associated with SS utilization. The papers will be peer reviewed </div><div>by at least three independent reviewers and will be selected on the basis of their quality and relevance to the theme of </div>
<div>this conference. WTA 2012 is the next event in a series of highly successful symposium on wireless sensor network technologies and </div><div>applications for SS (WTA), previously held as WTA-11 (Jeju, Korea, Dec 2010), WTA-10 (Gwangju, Korea, Dec 2010), SH-10 (Busan, Korea, May 2010), SH-09 </div>
<div>(Toronto, Canada, July 2009), SH-08 (Hainan, China, Dec. 2008), SH-07 (Jeju, Korea, Dec. 2007), IWSH-06 (Jeju, Korea, Nov. 2006).</div><div><br></div><div>=========================</div><div>Topics</div><div>=========================</div>
