UbiComp / ISWC 2023
GenAI4PC Symposium

Tulum 4 / October 9, 2023 (10.30 am to 5.30 pm)

Generative models โ€“ most prominently Large language Models (LLMs) for images and text โ€“ have been a major computing advance of 2023. For Ubiquitous Computing, these models offer tantalizing opportunities for personalization, data interpretation and more complex and meaningful interactions with humans.

In this new era of AI there are many open problems, including how we assess them and how we deploy them both efficiently and safely. The Generative AI for Pervasive Computing Symposium (GenAI4PC) aims to bring together both industrial and academic Ubiquitous Computing, researchers to explore these issues in a format that is focused on encouraging discussion and debate.

UbiComp / ISWC

Past Conferences

The ACM international joint conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp) is the result of a merger of the two most renowned conferences in the field: Pervasive and UbiComp. While it retains the name of the latter in recognition of the visionary work of Mark Weiser, its long name reflects the dual history of the new event.

The ACM International Symposium on Wearable Computing (ISWC) discusses novel results in all aspects of wearable computing, and has been colocated with UbiComp and Pervasive since 2013.

A complete list of UbiComp, Pervasive, and ISWC past conferences is provided below.
