UbiComp 2004 Demonstrations: The UbiComp Experience
==============================================
Ubiquitous computing promises a future where computation is seamlessly
integrated with the world around us. Smart objects, responsive
environments and personal technologies for work and everyday life are
all part of this vision. The UbiComp conference is the premier venue
for presentation of research results in ubiquitous computing, with
around 500 attendees from academia and industry. The conference already
has a successful and highly competitive paper presentations track. But
it is not enough to talk about the future world of ubiquitous computing
– it must be seen, felt, experienced.
We invite you to contribute your vision of the ubicomp experience to
the Demonstrations Program at the UbiComp 2004 conference.
Demonstrations are a way to show tangible results of ubicomp research
and development. A successful demo will communicate ideas and concepts
in a way that a regular presentation cannot. For this year’s UbiComp
conference, we invite demonstrations that push the limits of experience
in a world where computation is everywhere around us.
Demonstrations can provide hands-on experience with future ubiquitous
computing technology. From the newest sensor technology and the best
way to save battery power, to the coolest interaction techniques and
tiniest displays, demonstrations provide the perfect venue to show the
latest innovations and techniques.
We also want to see where ubicomp can make a difference in the real
world. We welcome demonstrations that put the technology in context –
be it on oil rigs or in ambulances, at the kindergarten or in the home.
This kind of demo does not have to contain cutting-edge technology, but
should show how ubicomp technology can be adapted and used in actual
applications.
Finally, good demos should not only provide answers – they can also
pose questions. Speculative and provocative demonstrations can put
ubicomp technology in a new light, and push the field forward as much
as technological inventions. We invite design projects, interactive
installations, and other presentations that debate and critique ubicomp
technology and the world that it will create.
To highlight the demos section, there will be a special Demonstrations
and Poster Reception during the main conference, when conference
attendees will be able to interact with all demonstrations.
Don’t miss this chance to be part of the UbiComp experience at UbiComp
2004!
