We
invite you to submit your work and ideas to a new type of track at the
UbiComp 2006 conference - the UbiComp Open Session.
The UbiComp Open Session welcomes controversial ideas, novel
prototypes, failed but valuable user studies, bold experiments, and
anything else that can give a fresh perspective on ubiquitous
computing, ambient intelligence, information appliances, smart
artefacts and mobile applications. We particularly invite submissions
that explore technical or practical limitations in current ubicomp
technologies; that introduce promising, although currently non-viable,
ubicomp technologies; that critique the current state of ubicomp, or
assumptions in the field; and that explore topics outside current
discussion in the field.The
UbiComp conference is the leading venue to present results in
ubiquitous computing. It is also highly competitive, in particular for
paper presentations. Therefore we will experiment with a new form of
submission and review process, where everything is completely open. We
will use a novel on-line reviewing system, from which the chairs will
select approximately six submissions to be presented in a high-profile
session at UbiComp 2006.
The
UbiComp Open Session is:
• Open
format:
everything can be submitted, everything will be considered
• Open
reviewing: reviews
and discussions will take place publicly on-line and non-anonymously
• Open
presentations:
traditional paper presentations are fully acceptable, but if you want
to build a system from scratch, perform a stand-up comedy routine, run
a live demo, organize an audience participation event, or anything
else, feel free!
• Open
for business: come
and join us at UbiComp 2006!
