an international forum for scientists, engineers, and managers in academia,
industry, and government to address recent research results in ubiquitous and
pervasive systems. EUSPN'14 will give them the opportunity to present and
discuss their ideas, theories, technologies, systems, tools, applications, work
in progress and experiences on all related theoretical and practical issues.
More specifically, EUSPN'14 will be focusing on the paradigm, infrastructures,
