12th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient
Intelligence UCAMI 2018 http://mamilab.esi.uclm.es/ucami2018 Punta Cana, Dominican Republic DECEMBER 4 TO 7TH, 2018 Conference Background & Goals
The Ubiquitous Computing (UC) idea envisioned by Weiser in 1991, has
recently evolved to a more general paradigm known as Ambient
Intelligence (AmI) that represents a new generation of user-centred
computing environments and systems. These solutions aim to find new ways
to obtain a better integration of the information technology in everyday
life devices and activities.
AmI environments are integrated by several autonomous computational
devices of modern life ranging from consumer electronics to mobile
phones. Ideally, people in an AmI environment will not notice these
devices, but they will benefit from the services these solutions provide
them. Such devices are aware of the people present in those environments
by reacting to their gestures, actions and context. Recently the
interest in AmI environments has grown considerably due to new
challenges posed by society, demanding highly innovative services, such
as vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET), Ambient Assisted Living (AAL),
e-Health, Internet of Things and Home Automation among others. The main
focus of this edition of the UCAmI Conference will be "Ambient
Intelligence: Sensing, Processing and Using Environmental Information". Publication
All accepted conference papers will be included in SPRINGER LECTURE
NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE (LNCS). Selected papers will be published in
the following journals:
* IEEE Access (IF(2016) = 3.244 Q1) (TENTATIVE)
* Sensors Journal (IF(2016) = 2.677 Q1)
* Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (IF(2016) = 1.899 Q2)

1ST UCAMI CUP - Analyzing human activity recognition dataset
In this first UCAmI Cup the competition will be focused on the
recognition of 25 types of human activities in a single and interleave
way in real time from a smart lab in where 31 binary sensors are
deployed. 10 days of activities are provided with three periods of time
in each day: morning, afternoon and evening. For more info about the competition and registration, please go to
