Call for Papers

The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Ubi-media Computing
(U-Media 2010)

http://conference.cs.cityu.edu.hk/umedia2010/
July 5-6, 2010
Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua, China

Dynamicity in the cyberspace can be modeled as a spatiotemporal suite of
events populated by computing devices arrivals and departures, communication
channels uses, and multimodal interactions. Contemporary ubiquitous devices
unleash the boundary of one-to-one human-computer interaction. It has become
a de facto style of facilitating social events, in which participants use
several distributed devices opportunistically through multimodal adaptive
interaction. How people access multimodal media in different contexts of use
is key to deliver the appropriate interactive systems to humans. Ubi-media
Computing, as it is bravely defined, explores challenging issues on how to
bring together technologies for context adaptation, inter-device
interaction, and media/data communication for the well-being of humans. 

The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE (EI indexed), with best
papers to be recommended for publication in special issues of international
journals including the World Wide Web (SCI-E) and a couple of other SCI
indexed ones. Topics of interests are divided based on four levels: 

Ubi-media Infrastructure
* Heterogeneous Ubi-media Infrastructure
* Ubiquitous Sensor Networks / RFID
* New Ubi-media Devices
* Multimedia Embedded Systems
* Ubi-media Storage and Indexing
* 3G and Advanced Communication Techniques
* Cross-Network Communication Techniques

Ubi-media Middleware
* Context-Aware Multimedia
* Cross-Network Media Server
* Computational Intelligences in Ubi-media
* Semantic Web and Knowledge Grid
* Ubi-media Content Protection and Security
* Privacy and Security in Ubiquitous Environments

Ubi-media Human-Computer Interaction
* Plasticity of User Interfaces
* Dynamic composition of User Interfaces
* Multimodal interaction
* Social networks

Ubi-media Applications
* Ubi-media for Education
* Ubi-media for Commerce
* Ubi-media for Games
* Ubi-media for Health Care
* Ubi-media for Smart Home
* Ubi-media for Citizens and E-Government

Paper Submission:

Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,
