UbiComp 2008
Tenth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing
COEX, Seoul, South Korea
September 21 - 24, 2008
http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008
1.) Papers and Workshops -> deadline April 4 !!!
2.) New Calls for Posters, Demonstrations, Videos, Panels, Doctoral
Colloquium and Student Volunteers -> deadline June 27
The Tenth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp
2008) welcomes original, high-quality research contributions that
advance the state of the art in the design, development, deployment,
evaluation and understanding of ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) systems.
Ubicomp is an interdisciplinary field of study that includes pervasive,
wireless, embedded, wearable and/or mobile technologies that bridge the
gaps between the digital and physical worlds, useful applications that
incorporate these technologies, infrastructures that effectively support
them, human activities and experiences these technologies facilitate,
and conceptual overviews that help us understand - or challenge our
understanding of - the impact of these technologies. The UbiComp
conference is a premier international venue in which novel results in
these areas are presented and discussed among leading researchers,
designers, developers and other practitioners in this field.
We previously announced calls for participation in the categories of
Full Papers and Notes (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_papers.shtml)
and Workshop Proposals
(http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_workshops.shtml), both of which
have deadlines this coming Friday, April 4.
This announcement expands the call for participation to include the
categories of Posters, Demonstrations, Videos, Panels, Doctoral
Colloquium and Student Volunteers, all of which have submission
deadlines of Friday, June 27.
Brief summaries of these categories are included below; more
comprehensive descriptions of each of the categories - including contact
information for the chairs of each category - can be found via the
associated links.
Posters (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_posters.shtml)
The Posters category provides researchers with an opportunity to present
their bleeding-edge work in an interactive fashion in front of an expert
audience, without impacting the possibility of publishing as a full
paper at a later date. Accepted Posters will be presented in three
forms: as a poster at the conference poster reception, at the "1-minute
madness" session preceding the reception, and as an extended abstract
distributed to the attendees. We encourage the submission of preliminary
or exploratory work, smaller projects or results not suitable for a full
paper, and any other research that would excite discussion and benefit
from this open forum.
Demonstrations (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_demos.shtml)
The Demonstrations Program offers an excellent way to showcase tangible
results of ubiquitous computing research and development to hundreds of
attendees from academia and industry. A successful demo communicates
ideas and concepts in a powerful way that a regular presentation cannot.
We invite you to contribute your vision of the ubicomp experience to the
Demonstrations Program at the UbiComp 2008 conference. We particularly
encourage demonstrations that include participation by conference
attendees and provoke discussion about issues within the field of
ubiquitous computing.
Videos (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_videos.shtml)
Research videos are an integral part of the ubiquitous computing
conference series. With the category of Research Videos, UbiComp 2008
seeks research contributions, future visions, project descriptions, and
concepts of ubiquitous computing technologies, systems and applications.
The conference particularly values practical experience with design,
deployment and use of ubiquitous systems and applications, and
investigation of exciting and inspiring ideas and technologies. We
encourage submission of videos both as new material and as supplemental
to paper submissions (e.g., in order to illustrate particular aspects of
a system).
Panels (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_panels.shtml)
We seek proposals for panels for Ubicomp 2008 that take a retrospective
look at research and development in ubiquitous computing over the past
15 years since Mark Weiser's seminal paper on ubiquitous computing, and
that outline possible futures for our field of research and development.
We invite panels that address technological, design, social, and
cultural issues related to the realization of ubiquitous computing into
our surroundings, now and in the future. The best panels involve debate.
We actively encourage panel proposals that deal with controversial issues.
Doctoral Colloquium (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/call_doctoralc.shtml)
We invite PhD students and candidates to present, discuss and defend
their work-in-progress or preliminary results in an international and
renowned audience of researchers and developers at UbiComp 2008
conference is Korea. The scope of the doctoral colloquium is equivalent
to the conference and hence includes all major aspects of ubiquitous
computing. We invite students that are beyond the idea-phase their PhD
studies and who have not yet finished their thesis (at least 6 more
months to go), so that they can sill incorporate the advice and
suggestions discussed in the colloquium.
Student Volunteers (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2008/student_volunteers.shtml)
Student volunteers provide the backbone of a successful conference.
Accepted volunteers are expected to work in multiple functions during
the conference, but will also be given great opportunities to attend the
program and socialize. All student volunteers will receive a free
registration to the conference (including meals & special events).
We hope you will join us at UbiComp 2008 by participating in one or more
of these categories!
