The goal of the EUSPN'14 conference is to provide 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, models, and technologies that have significant
contributions to the advancement of ubiquitous systems and pervasive
networks theory, practices and their applications.

EUSPN'14 will be held in Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada. Halifax is located on
the east coast of Canada and is approximately a 6-hour flight from London,
UK and a 2-hour flight from Toronto, Ontario. Halifax is a vibrant and
modern city which is home to multiple academic institutions and where
