Computers are now available anytime, anywhere, by different means, and distributed unobtrusively throughout everyday environments in which physical objects/artifacts embedded with invisible computers are sensible and networked locally and globally. Such "any" computers open tremendous opportunities to provide numerous novel services/applications in both real world and cyber spaces, and exist ubiquitously in our daily life, working, learning, traveling, entertainment, medicine, etc. Although it is yet unclear what exactly the real-cyber integrated worlds would be, there is no doubt that they must be safe.
Following the traditions of previous successful UbiSafe conferences, formerly Symposium on Ubisafe Computing, held in Atlanta USA (2019), Melbourne, Australia (2018); Guangzhou, China (2017); Zhangjiajie, China (2016); Helsinki, Finland (2015); Beijing, China (2014); Melbourne, Australia (2013); Liverpool, UK (2012); Changsha, China (2011); Chengdu China (2009); and Niagara Falls, Canada (2007). The 12th International Symposium on Ubisafe Computing (UbiSafe 2020) will be held in conjunction with "The 13th International Conference on Security, Privacy and Anonymity in Computation, Communication and Storage (SpaCCS 2020) ". It aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working on theories and technologies for ubiquitous artifacts to function safely for different purposes; for ubiquitous systems to work safely in various situations; and for ubiquitous environments to behave safely with all people.
The UbiSafe 2020 will be hold in Nanjing. Nanjing, lying on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the capital of Jiangsu Province, is one of the most delightful destinations in China. Known as the capital city of six or ten dynasties in ancient Chinese history, it has a brilliant cultural heritage.
