Call for Papers

The second Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing and Networks (UbiCoNet 2011) will be held in conjunction with IEEE Global Communications Conference (IEEE GLOBECOM 2011) in December 9th, 2011 at Houston, TX, USA.

Generally known as Ubiquitous Computing (UbiCo), the vision of UbiCo is to push computing out of conventional desktop computers into environments characterized by embedded computers and transparent forms of interactivity. Considerable reductions in prices of devices and network usage are finally making ubiquitous computing a reality.

Ubiquitous computing and networks have received a significant and sustained research interest in terms of designing

and deploying novel services and applications. The UbiCoNet workshop aims to provide researchers who share similar research interests to meet and address new research challenges and initiatives related to Ubiquitous Computing (UbiCo) and Networks (Net). The workshop program will focus on new research challenges and initiatives, and will allow authors to present new and emerging trends in ubiquitous computing and networks to dedicated audiences.

Topics of interest

The workshop focuses on presenting state of the art and emerging research, as well as experience reports, in the following topics, but are not limited to:

1. Ubiquitous applications and services

2. Ubiquitous Communications

3. Multimedia networks and services

4. Peer-to-Peer Computing

5. Human-Computer Interaction in Ubiquitous Computing

6. Wireless Communication & Networks

7. Mobile Ad-Hoc networks (MANETs)

8. Wireless Sensor Networks

9. Mobile Computing

10. Agents and Distributed Computing

11. User Centered Design in Ubiquitous computing

12. Location-dependent and Context-aware Computing

13. Mobile Augmented Reality

14. Mobile Social Communications

Paper submission guidelines

Only original, previously unpublished papers will be accepted. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit an IEEE conference style paper up to 5 pages long (including all text, figures, and references), but one additional page will be allowed with additional publication fee (USD100 if paper is accepted). Papers will be

submitted through EDAS submission system (http://www.edas.info).

Publication

An accepted paper must be registered before the registration deadline and must be presented at the UbiCoNet 2011

workshop. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop

proceedings and the program. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the IEEE GLOBECOM 2011 proceedings

and IEEE Digital Library. GLOBECOM has the right to remove an accepted and registered but not presented paper from

the IEEE Digital Library.
