In past twenty five years or so, Information Technology (IT) influenced and changed every aspect of our lives and our cultures. Without various IT-based applications, we would find it difficult to keep information stored securely, to process information efficiently, and to communicate information conveniently. In the future world, IT will play a very important role in convergence of computing, communication, and all other computational sciences and application and IT also will influence the future world's various areas, including science, engineering, industry, business, law, politics, culture, medicine, and so on. Our conference is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art research in all future IT areas, including their models, services, and novel applications associated with their utilization. FutureTech2026 is the next edition of FutureTech2024(Chongqing, China), FutureTech2023(Phnom Penh, Cambodia), FutureTech2022(Jeju, Korea), FutureTech2021(Jeju, Korea), FutureTech2021(Jeju, Korea), FutureTech2020(Xian, China), FutureTech2018(Salerno, Italy), FutureTech2017(Beijing, Vietnam), FutureTech2015(Hanoi, Vietnam), FutureTech2014(Zhangjiajie, China), FutureTech 2013(Gwangju, Korea), FutureTech2012(Vancouver, Canada), FutureTech2011(Loutraki, Greece), FutureTech2010 (Busan, Korea), which were the next events in a series of highly successful the International Symposium on Ubiquitous Applications & Security Services(UASS-09, USA), previously held as UASS-08(Okinawa, Japan), UASS-07 (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), and UASS-06(Glasgow, Scotland, UK). ------------------------------------------- Topics (included, but are not limited to) ------------------------------------------- * Track 1.
