It is our great pleasure to present the proceedings of the second Russia-Taiwan Symposium on Methods and Tools of Parallel Programming (MTPP 2010). MTPP is the main regular event of the Russia-Taiwan scientific forum that covers the many dimensions of methods and tools of parallel programming, algorithms and architectures, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems. As applications of computing systems have permeated every aspect of daily life, the power of computing systems has become increasingly critical....

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing, UIC 2010, held in Banff, Canada, September 2011.
The 44 papers presented together with two keynote speeches were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers address all current issues in smart systems and services, smart objects and environments, cloud and services computing, security, privacy and trustworthy, P2P, WSN and ad hoc networks, and ubiquitous intelligent algorithms and applications.
