IEEE Pervasive Computing Magazine. The Clash between Privacy and Automation in Social Media Present-day social media automatically discloses information, such as users' whereabouts, likings, and undertakings.
This review of empirical studies exposes three recurring privacy-related issues in automated disclosure: insensitivity to situational demands, inadequate control of nuance and veracity, and inability to control disclosure with service providers and third parties.

Ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) is a concept in software engineering and computer science where computing is made to appear everywhere and anywhere.
In contrast to desktop computing, ubiquitous computing can occur using any device, in any location, and in any format. A user interacts with the computer, which can exist in many different forms, including laptop computers, tablets and terminals in everyday objects such as a fridge or a pair of glasses. The underlying technologies to support ubiquitous computing include Internet, advanced middleware, operating system, mobile code, sensors, microprocessors, new I/O and user interfaces, networks, mobile protocols, location and positioning and new materials. This new paradigm is also described as pervasive computing, ambient intelligence,[1] ambient media[2] or 'everyware'.[3] Each term emphasizes slightly different aspects. Core concepts[edit]
Pervasive 2012. Thank you to all the organisers, volunteers and attendees involved in making Pervasive 2012 a success.
From 2013, Pervasive and UbiComp conferences will merge. The first joint conference will be UbiComp 2013, held in Zurich, Switzerland. Pervasive 2012, the Tenth International Conference on Pervasive Computing, will be at Newcastle University in the UK in June 2012. This annual conference is the premier forum for researchers to present their latest results in all areas related to the architecture, design, implementation, application and evaluation of pervasive computing. Pervasive 2012 will include a highly selective program for technical papers, accompanied by late-breaking result posters, videos, demonstrations, workshops, a doctoral colloquium and other events.
