Ubicomp 2010 e Pervasive 2011

Dois Eventos. A participação no UBICOMP 2010 encerra-se em Março próximo. E no Pervasive 2011 em outubro.

12th ACM International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing

Welcome to the website for the 12th ACM International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing. Ubicomp 2010 will be held in Wonderful Copenhagen, Denmark, from September 26-29. Ubicomp is a premier venue for presenting research in the design, development, deployment, evaluation and understanding of ubiquitous computing systems. Ubicomp is an interdisciplinary field of research and development that utilizes and integrates pervasive, wireless, embedded, wearable and/or mobile technologies to bridge the gaps between the digital and physical worlds. Ubicomp 2010 will bring together top researchers and practitioners who are interested in both the technical and applied aspects of Ubiquitous Computing technologies, systems and applications. The Ubicomp 2010 program features keynotes, technical paper and notes sessions, specialized workshops, live demonstrations, posters, video presentations, and a Doctoral Colloquium.

Who should attend?

Given its multi-disciplinary nature, Ubicomp has developed a broad base of audience over the past 10 years. Key audience communities are: Human Computer Interaction, Pervasive Computing, Distributed and Mobile Computing, Real World Modeling, Sensors and Devices, Middleware and Systems, Programming Models and Tools, and Human Centric Validation and Experience Characterization. More detailed information about the topical focus of Ubicomp can be found in the Call for Participation. On behalf of the entire Organisation Committee, we invite you to begin planning your submissions and participation for the Ubicomp 2010 conference!

Bem-vindo

Over the years, I realized that architecture is a fascinating field, much more than I imagined 20 years ago, when I graduated.

However, I believe that today architecture is in constant threaten. Whether because of the insensitivity of usury - which multiplies bad buildings, either because ignorance - with the acceptance of bad buildings everyday, and either because a pompous theoretical approach, or an unrealistic relativism in the theories - a simple analysis shows that there are many enemies of Architecture.

And they all profoundly hate Architecture to the point of diminishing its value, trying to transmute your story in a game of words and bureaucratic rules, reducing the importance of individual experience with the space and art. These enemies try to reduce the architecture only to symbolize a coercive power over the citizen, in public buildings and corporate ones, and to encourage conformity in the housing plans.

Somewhat widespread, ignorance and poverty of spirit have been attacking the inspiration and ingenuity in architecture. Those are the two most ruthless enemies, and I have no doubt that it is within universities where they pervade.

Meanwhile, outside, there is no way out, between the heroics or cosmopolitanism flamboyant, nor the alleged genius of the exceptions in poor countries or the so called alternative attitudes. Both categories are not a real life - they are just a pose.

There is also a false scientific attitude that seeks to reduce the dimensions of humane architecture to present it as simply result of calculation, comfort and efficiency. Naively, many who enjoy studying architecture eventually accepts the false oversimplification that the scientific spirit has to offer. They forget, however, that architecture is a matter that has thousands of years on earth, against the precarious 400 old years of modern scientific thought.

One way to counter these enemies - and perhaps much more effective than simply designing and constructing buildings for our own enjoyment or curriculum - is to study and discuss what is the architecture and teach this, preserving the space for debate their meaning and significance. This education, oriented for aspects of teaching about the individual and collective space can reflect objectively on ours citizens and our country's life, reflecting on how they will make decisions about their buildings and their environment.

In this sense, to support the battle for Architecture, in this blog you will find some texts and other materials geared for education. Welcome, and please, participate.
