 On
behalf of International Program Committee, I am
very proud of inviting you to attend the 17th ITS
World Congress, Busan in 2010. The Congress will
explore how ITS can emerge the ubiquitous society
with a feasible goal of safe, convenient, and green
mobility.
During the last decade, Korea has found innovative
solutions to improve peoples safety, convenience,
and green lifestyle anytime and anywhere in their
daily life, which prescribes the concept of ubiquitous
society. Highly sophisticated information and communication
technologies are key solutions to lead the ubiquitous
concept being implemented in many aspects of the
real world including transportation systems. With
the theme “Ubiquitous Society with ITS”, this Congress
will focus on a paradigm shift for the next generation
through exploring how to address social challenges
in the global crisis on environment and how to stimulate
ITS stakeholders to make this a realization.
Three strategies; ubiquity, transparency, and trustability
under the theme has been provided for all the participants
around the globe in order to exchange knowledge
and experiences in their research, development,
and deployment with innovative ITS technologies
and solutions. All the issues on these strategies
will be covered in the plenary, executive, and special
sessions as well as in the exhibition. In addition,
the papers presented in scientific, technical, and
media interactive sessions are also highly recommended
to show the future direction of the integrated goal
with the three strategies.
I, IPC Chair believe this Congress will lead us
into a more sophisticated society utilizing ITS
services in the globe anytime and anywhere in terms
of the future promotion of the benefits of transportation.
I strongly encourage you all to come to Busan, the
most beautiful city in the world, and to enjoy all
the events being prepared. |

 It
is our great pleasure to invite all of you to participate
in the 2010 ITS World Congress in Busan, Korea.
There are three major reasons for you to come to
this exciting and memorable event.
First of all, this world congress will be held in
Busan, Korea. Korea is famous as a ubiquitous country.
Among Korean cities, Busan is one of the representative
examples of such ubiquitous societies. From the
time of your arrival at the airport, as you progress
through to your hotel, interact with your friendly
virtual concierge, and contact your friends, you
will always be connected by the Internet. You should
experience this ubiquitous society first hand by
visiting the city of Busan.
Second, this world congress has the important integrated
goal of examining cutting-edge IT technologies and
at the same time providing safe, convenient, and
green mobility to society. This integrated goal
will form the future direction of ITS. We hope you
will explore the future direction of ITS by attending
the congress.
Third, the technical program will be designed for
you to obtain the view of the ITS’s future direction
in the most efficient manner. We plan to structure
the technical program through three tracks: scientific,
technical, and interactive. The scientific track
presents well-developed theory-oriented work, while
the technical track presents cutting-edge system-oriented
work. The interactive track encourages more discussion-oriented
presentations. This three-track structure will provide
flexibility and convenience to you. Let’s meet in
Busan! |
