CALL FOR PAPERS =================================================================== The 2007 IEEE International Symposium on Ubiquitous Computing and Intelligence (UCI'07) http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~hduman/uci2007 to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 21th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-07),Niagara Falls, Canada, May 21-23, 2007 ==================================================================== Aims and Scopes --------------- Nowadays we are surrounded by a multitude of artefacts which are embedded with computing and networking capabilities providing us services and information anytime and everywhere. This technological evolution is called Ubiquitous Computing. Equipped with Intelligence these artefacts are aimed to improve the quality of our lives and support us during our everyday activities. The UCI-2007 symposium aims to provide a platform to bring together researchers from industry and academia in the areas of Ubiquitous Computing, Intelligent Computing and related areas to showcase their current novel research results and discuss future trends with experts in these areas. Topics of Interest ------------------ *Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing *Smart Devices and Systems *Mobile Computing *Intelligent Buildinga *Ambient Intelligence *Robotics *Virtual and Mixed Environments *Networking and Communication *Middleware *Knowledge management *Engineering and System Architecture *Infrastructure and Frameworks *Embedded Software and Agents *Web Services *Sensor Networks *Context-aware computing *Programming paradigms *Human-Computer Interaction *User Interfaces and Interaction Models *Adaptive and Learning Systems *Novel Applications Submission Information ---------------------- The Programme Co-Chairs are soliciting contributed technical papers for presentation at the First IEEE International Symposium on Ubiquitous Computing and Intelligence (UCI) 2007 and publication in the IEEE AINA 2007 Conference Proceedings. The CD proceeding of the UCI-2007 Symposium will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and also available online (IEEE-Xplore). The paper contributions must be submitted electronically by December 08, 2006, via the UCI-2007 upload system only (will be available as of October 2006). Papers should be submitted in standard IEEE two-column format. The first page of the paper, centered on the top below the top margin, should include the paper title, the authors’ names and their affiliations, an abstract, and keywords. Six pages are allowed for each paper. An additional page will be permitted for an extra charge. Illustrations and references are included in the page count. Submission papers will undergo a peer review process, coordinated by the Program Chairs and the Programme Committee Members. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejections by January 22, 2007. Accepted papers in final form must be received no later then February 17, 2007. Outstanding papers will be considered for a Special Issue in Journal of Ubiquitous Computing and Intelligence (JUCI) or Pervasive Computing and Communications (JPCC).
