U-Media 2012 - The 5th International Conference on Ubi-media Computing (U-Media 2012)

The 5th International Conference on Ubi-media Computing
(U-Media 2012)

June 28-29, 2012
Xiamen, China

Dynamicity in the cyberspace can be modeled as a spatiotemporal suite
of events populated by computing devices arrivals and departures,
communication channels uses, and multimodal interactions. Contemporary
ubiquitous devices unleash the boundary of one-to-one human-computer
interaction. It has become a de facto style of facilitating social
events, in which participants use several distributed devices
opportunistically through multimodal adaptive interaction. How people
access multimodal media in different contexts of use is key to deliver
the appropriate interactive systems to humans. Ubi-media Computing, as
it is bravely defined, explores challenging issues on how to bring
together technologies for context adaptation, inter-device
interaction, and media/data communication for the well-being of
humans.

The conference proceedings will be published by CPS, with best papers
to be recommended for publication in special issues of international
journals. Topics of interests are divided based on four levels (not
limited to):

Ubi-media Infrastructure
