Ubiquitous and intelligent infrastructures are facing many challenges of features and emerging technologies and concepts in various domains that require addressing through scientific research activities as a first step for developing future technical solutions. Domains such as Smart environments, Cybersecurity, the Internet of things, and Critical infrastructure are one of the cutting-edge fields that call for research breakthroughs. Smart environments and the Internet of things are already well-known and widely used concepts that give space for research contributions in the development of new services, rising cybersecurity levels, and better management and optimization. On the opposite, quantum communication is the new cutting-edge concept that has the potential to significantly improve communication security, and its various application has yet to be explored.

The FABULOUS 2023 conference planning to unite those and other related research questions and challenges related to Ubiquitous and Intelligent infrastructures through novel works and high-quality review and survey papers.
