The 8th International Conference on Emerging Ubiquitous Systems and
Pervasive Networks (EUSPN) is a premier venue for bringing together
multi-disciplinary researchers, professionals and practitioners from both
academia and industry, who are engaged in different facets of ubiquitous
systems and pervasive networks. The conference encourages innovative
research contributions providing the recent significant developments and
promising future trends of EUSPN based applications, systems, tools,
environments and infrastructures in the fields of EUSPN and related areas.

Lund University is a strong influence on Lund city, and several university
buildings are located in the heart of the city. The combination of
businesses, students and researchers from around the world has given birth
to Lund's unique character as a city of strong research-based global
industries. The Malmö region, including Lund, is the 4th most inventive
region in the world. Sweden’s first and most successful research park,
Ideon, is situated in Lund, and the country’s two largest research
ventures, MAX IV Laboratory and the European Spallation Source (ESS) are
located here. The students at Lund University comprise a large part of the
population of the city and consequently have a significant impact on it and
contribute to the youthful, laid-back atmosphere. The young population
influences all aspects of life in Lund, from the daily rhythm of the city,
to city planning, pubs and bars, museums and countless cultural and leisure
activities. The combination of old traditions and history together with the
bustling student life makes Lund a great place to live and study!
