Ubicomp 2012 - 14th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp2012)

Ubicomp 2012 welcomes original, high-quality research contributions that advance the state of the art in the design, development, deployment, evaluation and understanding of ubiquitous computing systems and their applications. Ubicomp is an interdisciplinary field that includes technologies that bridge the digital and physical worlds, systems and applications that incorporate such technologies, infrastructures that support them, human activities and experiences these technologies facilitate, and conceptual overviews that help us understand ? or challenge our understanding of ? the impact of these technologies.
Topics
Relevant topic areas for full papers and notes include, but are not limited to:
Devices & techniques ? descriptions of the design, architecture, usage and evaluation of devices and techniques that create valuable new capabilities for ubiquitous computing
Systems & infrastructures ? descriptions of the design, architecture, deployment and evaluation of systems and infrastructures that support ubiquitous computing
Applications ? descriptions of the design and/or study of applications that leverage Ubicomp devices and systems
Methodologies & tools ? new methods and tools applied to studying or building Ubicomp systems and applications
Theories & models ? critical analysis or organizing theory with clear relevance to the design or study of Ubicomp systems
Experiences ? empirical investigations of the use of new or existing Ubicomp technologies with clear relevance to the design and deployment of future Ubicomp systems
Ubicomp 2012 encourages full papers and notes that reflect the breadth and scope of Ubicomp research, including conceptual development, empirical investigations, technological advances, user experiences, and more. All papers (Full Papers and Notes) should clearly compare and contrast how the work relates to previous research or experience, what aspects of the work are new, and the major contributions it makes. Although it is expected that papers will focus on one or a small number of the aforementioned areas, authors should write for the broader Ubicomp audience, and make clear how the work contributes to the Ubicomp field as a whole.
