It is going to happen the 9th reunion of Ubiquitous, to which I am willing to apply a paper concerning my research. Ubiquitous Computing refers to the trend that we as humans interact no longer with one computer at a time, but rather with a dynamic set of small networked computers, often invisible and embodied in everyday objects in the environment. The UbiComp conference series has traditionally had a strong workshop program. Workshops allow small groups to gather for intensive discussion around focused topics of interest. The goal of the workshops is to share understandings and experiences, to foster research communities, to learn from each other and to envision future directions. The presence of architects is still missing in that event, as rarely we participate in such seminars. I got a hypothesis about why: innovation is expensive, that’s all. Architecture deals normally with technologies already absorbed, seldom going further than a new material or new shapes. That makes architecture probably one of the most traditional field in which architects using ubiquitous computing engaged with the project is tantamount rare – the common sense (and now has passed years since the invention of the term) is the virtual space in an cyberfuturistic approach that has no enriched proper architectural discussion.
This year papers on the following topics will be the theme of Ubicomp:- Inferring the state of the user, such as location, activity, intentions, resources, and capabilities in the past, present, and future
- Developing ubicomp systems, including representations, architecture, middleware, resource management, and service discovery
- Embedding computation for new user interfaces, assistive technologies, communication, novel sensors, intelligent environments, wearable computing, and continuous monitoring and actuation
- Building ubicomp systems for health, gaming, socializing, and other applications
- Ensuring user trust through privacy and security
- Understanding ubicomp and its consequences through conceptual models, hard-won experience, user studies, business scenarios, and real deployments
