CALL FOR PAPERS
Smart Object Systems Workshop at the Seventh International Conference on
Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2005)
Tokyo, Japan
September 11-14, 2005
http://ubicomp.lancs.ac.uk/workshops/sobs05
############################################################################
One of the major technological trends is to embed sensing, communication,
computation and actuation in physical artefacts leading to the creation of
smart objects. Current industrial and academic research indicates that smart
objects might soon become an integral part of our daily lives with
applications in economically important areas such as retail, supply chain
management, asset management, safety critical situations in work places and
healthcare.
Smart objects will be an important building block to bridge the gap between
the physical and digital world by providing information about aspects of
their physical environment. While systems of smart objects clearly will need
to build on emerging technologies such as RFID and wireless sensor networks,
the envisioned ubiquity of smart objects raises important questions about
the digital representation of physical artefacts, their cooperation
paradigms, integration into backend infrastructures and the applications
that will benefit and influence their design and development.
SCOPE
Workshop topics include but are not limited to:
* Applications and Scenarios
* Smart Object Models and Digital Representations
* Cooperation Models between Smart Objects
* Services Provided by and Offered to Smart Objects
* Programming Paradigms for Developers and End Users
* Simulation of Large Scale Smart Object Systems
* Enabling Technologies for Instrumenting Physical Artefacts
The workshop will be highly interactive to maximize information exchange and
foster collaborations. Major workshop activities will take place in small
discussion groups of 3-4 following presentations of invited workshop
participants. Selection of workshop participants is based on submitted
papers describing ongoing research and experiences. We encourage submissions
from researchers, practitioners and students from academia as well as
industry. Submitted papers must be formatted in Springer LNCS format and
should not exceed a maximum length of 8 pages. We also welcome shorter
position papers that report about ongoing work of the authors. All
submissions will be reviewed by the workshop organizers and additional
experts. Submissions should be sent by eMail (Subject: "UbiComp 2005
Workshop submission") and no later than June 17, 2005 to
Martin Strohbach ([log in to unmask])
