-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Updated CfP for UbiComp 2004 Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2004 23:17:03 -0700 From: Fahd Al-Bin-Ali <albinali(a)cs.arizona.edu> To: <albinali(a)cs.arizona.edu> Dear colleague, This is an updated CfP for the 6^th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2004). As a reminder, the deadline for submitting papers is March 12^th 2004. Please circulate this announcement to encourage contributions. Thank you and I apologize if you received this message more than once. Sincerely, Fahd Al-Bin-Ali Publicity Chair UbiComp 2004 CALL FOR PAPERS UBICOMP 2004 The 6th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing 7-10 September, 2004 Nottingham, UK http://www.ubicomp.org <http://www.ubicomp.org/> You are invited to contribute original and exciting ideas to UbiComp 2004, the Sixth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing. UbiComp is the premier venue for presenting research and development achievements in the design, implementation, deployment and evaluation of computing technology that migrates beyond our desktops and becomes increasingly embedded in a wide variety of other objects. Submissions to UbiComp 2004 must be original, unpublished work and may not be simultaneously submitted to any other conference or journal. Papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Each conference attendee will receive a printed copy of the proceedings; additional copies can be purchased through Springer-Verlag. The proceedings will also be made available through digital libraries. Submissions must be in the LNCS format; full instructions and templates are available at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html For Ubicomp 2004 we are soliciting high quality technical papers that describe original, unpublished research on handheld, mobile or ubiquitous computing. Potential areas of interest include: technologies, methodologies and formalisms to support ubiquitous computing and the development of ubiquitous computing applications (e.g. novel devices, system software, software engineering techniques and interaction methods); reports on experiences of designing, developing, deploying and living with ubiquitous computing systems; and, studies of the wider implications of ubiquitous computing. We are particularly seeking papers appropriate to the interdisciplinary community represented at the UbiComp 2004 conference. Submissions should report concrete, transferable results that contribute to our understanding of ubiquitous computing and help advance the state-of-the-art. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field, technical correctness and presentation. All papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the UbiComp 2004 program committee and by additional members of the ubiquitous computing research community. Papers submitted to UbiComp 2004 must not be under simultaneous review for any other conference, journal, workshop or other publication. Technical papers should be no longer than 18 pages, including an abstract of no more than 100 words, all figures and references, and should be formatted according to the Springer-Verlag LNCS format. In contrast to previous Ubicomp conferences there are no separate categories for long and short papers; all papers will be considered as full papers and should be an appropriate length for their content. Accepted papers will be published in the UbiComp 2004 Proceedings and authors are, of course, required to attend the conference to present their work. UbiComp 2004 submissions should be properly anonymized to facilitate blind reviewing: papers being submitted should not list the authors, affiliations or addresses on the first page -- to preserve formatting, it would be best to leave these sections blank. Author, affiliation and address information should still be filled out on the electronic form for submitting the paper, and final camera-ready copies should have this information included. Authors are also encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimize references that may reveal the identity of the authors or institutions. UbiComp 2004 requires electronic submission. Reviewers will be instructed to maintain the confidentiality of all materials for submitted papers throughout the entire reviewing process. Submissions should contain no information that will be proprietary or confidential at the time of publication. Full submission details and information on other ways to participate in Ubicomp 2004 are available at http://www.ubicomp.org <http://www.ubicomp.org/>. Deadline for Submission: Papers due midnight GMT on March 12th 2004.

After the first two successful venues in Colmar in 2000 and in 2002, the 3rd European Conference on* *Universal Multiservice Networks (ECUMN '04) is moving to Portugal and will take place at Hotel D. Henrique, in Porto (Oporto) from Monday 25 to Wednesday 27 October, 2004. The conference is jointly organized by Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT) and OE (Ordem dos Engenheiros), with the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Portugal Section, EUREL and SEE. The goal of the ECUMN conference is to bring together researchers from the academia and practitioners from the industry in order to address network and service convergence issues. The conference will provide a forum where the academia shall be able to present up-to-date research results and the industry describe emerging technologies and new research problems related to them.

Februar 2004 10:43 An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Betreff: [CFP] First International Workshop on Networked Sensing Systems INSS 2004 (We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message) -------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Papers First International Workshop on Networked Sensing Systems (INSS 2004) http://www.conferences.jp/inss2004/ University of Tokyo, Japan June 22-23, 2004 Sponsored by the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE) http://www.sice.or.jp/index-e.html In cooperation with: Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) URON group Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ) UBI group IPSJ MBL group Institute of Eletrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJ) -------------------------------------------------------------- INSS 2004 is the first conference to form symbiosis of networking and sensing technologies. It provides a forum of interdisciplinary discussions on networked sensing for researchers, engineers, and practitioners in various fields. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity for further exploration of selected topics and for the presentation of the most recent research and development findings in these rapidly changing fields. Development and spread of global networks and information terminals have brought about a social change. In addition, the progress of sensor technologies has enabled monitoring of various kinds of information. These technologies are combined with wireless communications and produce richer application spaces for monitoring and control: earth environment, habitation environment information, home appliances, industrial apparatus, human body information, medical treatment, and welfare apparatus. TOPICS We encourage contributions describing innovative work related to networked sensing. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Wireless sensor networks - Operating systems and middleware for sensor networks - RF-ID tags - Nano/MEMS sensors and actuators - Telemetry - Ultra low power technologies for sensors and actuators - Micro power source/supply sensors and actuators - Ubiquitous and autonomic sensing - Wearable sensing systems - Distributed sensing systems - Knowledge sharing in network environments - Tag-based vision - Human Interface using sensors and actuators - IPv6 applications for sensing - Sensing agents - Networked robotics - Sensor fusion - Applications for networked sensing (production/management, social systems, logistic systems, security/safety systems, medical and care systems, transportation systems, building/environmental automation) PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to send in papers not exceeding 4 pages that include an abstract of 100 - 150 words. Preparation guideline is available for download.@ Send the paper in PDF file to: inss2004(a)conferences.jp When you are submitting the paper, please send the following information in the mail body text. 1 PAPER TITLE 2 PRINCIPAL AUTHOR 3 AFFILIATION 4 FULL MAILING ADDRESS 5 E-MAIL 6 TELEPHONE 7 AUTHORS (NAMES IN ORDER DESIRED) 8 TOPIC MOST APPROPRIATE FOR THIS PAPER (Select from the Topic List above) Deadline for submission is March 20, 2004 REVIEW AND PROCEEDINGS All papers submitted to INSS2004 will be reviewed by the Program Committee.
