--------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS

System Support for Ubiquitous Computing Workshop (UbiSys 2009) at the 11th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2009)

Orlando, Florida September 30-October 3, 2009

http://ubisys.ccis.edu.sa/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------

The goal of this workshop is to promote cooperation between ubicomp systems researchers and to address the challenges related to the wider deployment and interoperability of ubicomp systems. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers in this field to discuss the state-of-the-art and to foster discussions and inspire novel techniques for unifying the underlying system platforms for ubicomp. Key issues of discussions will include developing and revising common sets of abstractions of ubicomp environments for supporting ubiquitous applications and services, wide-deployment strategies, and interoperability between different platforms. Currently, the evaluation of ubicomp systems is not well established. For effective deployment of ubicomp systems, we must propose techniques and benchmarks for evaluation that is best suited to our kind of research.

Topics: -------

The workshop focuses on presenting state of the art and emerging research, as well as experience reports, in the following topics:

* Abstractions and models toward interoperability and portability. * Use of new and emerging middleware and software engineering approaches. * Experiences of deployed ubicomp systems infrastructure. * Techniques and benchmarks for the effective evaluation of ubicomp systems

Submission Guidelines: ----------------------

This workshop will consist of a mix of paper presentations, discussions and a panel discussion. Papers must cover one of the topics listed above. We will prioritize research papers describing current and on-going research, experience reports and position papers related to the workshop's topics.

Submissions are expected to be 4 - 6 pages long. All papers should be in the Ubicomp 2009 workshop templates format (available at http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2009/templates.shtml). All papers will be peer reviewed and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. All accepted papers must be presented during the workshop. Ubicomp will publish all workshop papers in a proceedings supplement. The supplement will not be included in the ACM digital library. Copyright of the published papers will remain with the authors.

Paper submissions will be handled online at http://ubisys.ccis.edu.sa/. Please visit http://ubisys.ccis.edu.sa for further information or if you have any questions.

All workshop attendees must submit and have accepted either a full or position paper.
