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unpublished work and may not be simultaneously submitted to any other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describe original, unpublished research on handheld, mobile or ubiquitous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.
