Call for Proposals for Ubicomp 2008

We are already thinking of Ubicomp 2008. We hope to receive proposals for hosting and organizing Ubicomp 2008 from active members of the Ubicomp community. We are dedicated to being an international conference series. As 2006 was in America and 2007 will be in Europe we hope 2008 will be in Asia, Australia, or New Zealand. The conference is planed for autumn 2008. In recent years we have tried to avoid time conflicts (with regard to the conference and submission deadlines) with the following international conferences: INTERACT, Wearables Conference (ISWC), and MobileHCI.

Proposals should be as detailed as possible. Please include the following information in a proposal:

• proposed location and details about a possible venue
• potential time(s) when the conference can be held
• overall concept for the conference (technical program, workshops, demos, student volunteers, etc.)
• information about the people organizing and chairing the conference and their relation to the ubicomp community
• budget overview and anticipated financial model
• local organization
• supporting organizations

The steering committee is happy to advise on questions and discuss suggestion before the proposal is submitted. Please submit the proposal not later than Jan 30, 2007. We will review the proposals and have a decision by March 1, 2007.
