UbiSys 2009 - System Support for Ubiquitous Computing Workshop (UbiSys 2009)

System Support for Ubiquitous Computing Workshop (UbiSys 2009)
at the 11th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2009)

Orlando, Florida
September 30-October 3, 2009

---------------------------------------------------------------------


The goal of this workshop is to promote cooperation between ubicomp
systems researchers and to address the challenges related to the wider
deployment and interoperability of ubicomp systems. The workshop aims
at bringing together researchers in this field to discuss the
state-of-the-art
and to foster discussions and inspire novel techniques for unifying the
underlying system platforms for ubicomp. Key issues of discussions will
include developing and revising common sets of abstractions of ubicomp
environments for supporting ubiquitous applications and services,
wide-deployment strategies, and interoperability between different
platforms.
Currently, the evaluation of ubicomp systems is not well established. For
effective deployment of ubicomp systems, we must propose techniques and
benchmarks
for evaluation that is best suited to our kind of research.


Topics:
-------

The workshop focuses on presenting state of the art and emerging
research, as well as experience reports, in the following topics:

* Abstractions and models toward interoperability and portability.
* Use of new and emerging middleware and software engineering approaches.
* Experiences of deployed ubicomp systems infrastructure.
* Techniques and benchmarks for the effective evaluation of ubicomp systems


Submission Guidelines:
----------------------

This workshop will consist of a mix of paper presentations, discussions
and a panel
discussion. Papers must cover one of the topics listed above. We will
prioritize
research papers describing current and on-going research, experience
reports and
position papers related to the workshop's topics.

Submissions are expected to be 4 - 6 pages long. All papers should be in
the
Ubicomp 2009 workshop templates format (available at
http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2009/templates.shtml). All papers will be
peer
reviewed and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance
to the
workshop. All accepted papers must be presented during the workshop.
Ubicomp
will publish all workshop papers in a proceedings supplement. The
supplement
will not be included in the ACM digital library. Copyright of the
published papers
will remain with the authors.

Paper submissions will be handled online at http://ubisys.ccis.edu.sa/.

All workshop attendees must submit and have accepted either a full or
position
paper.
