WellComp 2018 - 2018 International Workshop on Computing for Well-being

With the advancements in ubiquitous computing, ubicomp technology has deeply spread into our daily lives, including office work, home and house-keeping, health management, transportation, or even urban living environments. Furthermore, beyond the initial metric of computing, such as “efficiency” and “productivity”, the benefits that people (users) benefit on a well-being perspective based on such ubiquitous technology has been greatly paid attention in the recent years. In our first “WellComp” (Computing for Well- being) workshop, we intensively discuss about the contribution of ubiquitous computing towards users’ well-being that covers both physical, mental, and social wellness (and their combinations), from the viewpoints of various different layers of computing. WellComp 2018 will bring together researchers and practitioners from the academia and industry to explore versatile topics related to wellbeing and ubiquitous computing.
