UPDATED INFORMATION

Technical notes at UBICOMP 2001 offer an opportunity to publish research that is more late-breaking in nature. The submissions (not longer than 3000 words) will be reviewed and accepted papers will be included in the proceedings together with the full papers. The proceedings will be published by Springer and also made available online through the ACM digital library. The submission deadline for technical notes is May 25th.

Sunday, September 30 has been reserved for special purpose workshops. If you wish to organize a workshop, then you should submit a proposal directly to Anind Dey (anind@cc.gatech.edu) by May 25, 2001. Please view the Advice for Authors for more information.

THE CONFERENCE

UBICOMP 2001, the next conference in the series formerly called Handheld and Ubiquitous Computing, aims to be the premier forum for presentation of research results in all areas relating to the design, implementation, application and evaluation of ubiquitous computing technologies. It will bring together research practitioners in all disciplines developing the new paradigm of computing off-the-desktop that moves towards the notion of a disappearing or invisible computer.

UBICOMP 2001 is held in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI, ACM SIGMOBILE and ACM SIGSOFT.

THEMES

UBICOMP 2001 is attempting to unite the different research communities that have been doing work in the general area of ubiquitous computing. The technical program, therefore, will address all issues related to ubiquitous, pervasive, invisible and wearable computing, including:

  • Applications of ubiquitous computing in everyday environments (e.g., office, home, mobile) or more task-focused domains (e.g., maintenance and repair, training)
  • Techniques and research issues for off-the-desktop interaction styles, including both input (e.g., recognition-based pen, voice) and output (e.g., ambient displays)
  • Mobile, handheld, wireless and wearable technologies and devices, such as information appliances
  • Context-aware computing
  • Automated capture of live experiences
  • Middleware and distributed computing issues for ubiquitous computing, including wireless technologies
  • Intelligent, aware or attentive environments
  • Perception and modeling of the environment, including sensing devices and techniques
  • Evaluation and other non-technology specific aspects of ubiquitous computing, including social implications

IMPORTANT DATES

April 20, 2001:
May 25, 2001:
May 25, 2001:
Full Papers due (8000 word limit)
