The 10th International Conference on Emerging Ubiquitous Systems and 
Pervasive Networks (EUSPN) is a premier venue for bringing together 
multi-disciplinary researchers, professionals and practitioners from 
both academia and industry, who are engaged in different facets of 
ubiquitous systems and pervasive networks. The conference encourages 
innovative research contributions providing the recent significant 
developments and promising future trends of EUSPN based applications, 
systems, tools, environments and infrastructures in the fields of EUSPN 
and related areas.

EUSPN 2019 will be held in the city of Coimbra. Coimbra is a historical 
city and a municipality in Portugal. Among the many archaeological 
structures dating back to the Roman era, when Coimbra was the settlement 
of Aeminium, are its well-preserved aqueduct and cryptoporticus. 
Similarly, buildings from the period when Coimbra was the capital of 
Portugal (from 1131 to 1255) still remain. During the late Middle Ages, 
with its decline as the political centre of the Kingdom of Portugal, 
Coimbra began to evolve into a major cultural centre. This was in large 
part helped by the establishment of the University of Coimbra in 1290, 
the oldest academic institution in the Portuguese-speaking world. Apart 
from attracting many European and international students, the university 
is visited by many tourists for its monuments and history. Its 
historical buildings were classified as a World Heritage site by UNESCO 
in 2013: "Coimbra offers an outstanding example of an integrated 
university city with a specific urban typology as well as its own 
ceremonial and cultural traditions that have been kept alive through the 
ages." Its atmospheric, beautiful historic core cascades down a hillside 
in a lovely setting on the east bank of the Rio Mondego: it's a 
multicoloured collage of buildings spanning nearly a millennium.

The conference take place in the environment of technology startups and 
laboratories within the installations of Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN). 
IPN is created in 1991 through a University of Coimbra initiative, 
Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN)2 is a private non-profit organization which 
promotes innovation and the transfer of technology, establishing the 
connection between the scientific and technological environment and the 
production sector. IPN mission is to leverage a strong university - 
enterprise relationship for the promotion of innovation, rigor, quality 
and entrepreneurship in private and public sector organizations by 
acting in three complementary areas: Research and technological 
development, consultancy and specialized services; Incubation and 
acceleration of businesses and ideas; Highly specialized training and 
promotion of science and technology. In the year of 2010, the Instituto 
Pedro Nunes incubator3 has been awarded as the Best Science-based 
Incubator in the world.
