Workshops to be held in conjunction with the Fifth International
Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2003, Seattle, October
12-15) are now accepting submissions.  All workshops will be held on
Sunday, October 12 at the conference hotel.  Unless otherwise noted,
submissions will be accepted until Friday, August 8, and notifications
of accepted submissions will be sent by Friday, August 22.  The
deadline for early advance registration will be Friday, August 29
(more information on the conference hotel and conference registration
will be posted on the web site soon).

Please note that, unlike UbiComp 2002, prospective workshop attendees
require an invitation from the workshop organizers based on acceptance
of submitted position papers or explicit request.  Upon acceptance,
attendees will need to explicitly register for the workshop, which
will include a separate workshop fee, in addition to registering for
the main conference.

Workshop titles and organizers are listed below.  Prospective authors
are encouraged to visit the updated Workshop Call for Participation at
the UbiComp 2003 web site (www.ubicomp.org), and/or visit individual
workshop homepages (listed below and at the UbiComp 2003 web site).

General questions about the workshops can be addressed to the Workshop
Chair (Michael Beigl, [log in to unmask]); specific questions
about any individual workshop should be directed to the organizer(s)
of the workshop.

Sincerely,

Mike Hazas
