As UbiComp 2002 seeks to unite all the different research communities involved in making ubiquitous computing a reality, the technical program will address the myriad aspects of ubiquitous, pervasive, invisible, mobile, and wearable computing, including: 

• Applications of ubiquitous computing in everyday environments (e.g., office, home, mobile), task-focused domains (e.g., maintenance and repair, training), or to promote new forms of learning, participation, and creativity (through the merging of the physical and the virtual
 
• Methods for interaction design and user-centered studies of ubiquitous computing applications, designing of user experiences that are both coherent and engaging in space and time

• Techniques and research issues for non-traditional interaction styles, including both input (e.g., recognition-based pen, voice, motion) and output (e.g., ambient displays, actuation

• Mobile, handheld, wireless and wearable technologies and devices, such as information appliances and cellular phones

• Methods for embedding computation in everyday objects and research on new functionality and uses emerging from collections of interacting smart objects
 
• Context-aware computing and the adaptavity of applications to the state of users and objects
 
• Automated capture of live experiences including techniques for organizing and indexing
 
• Middleware and distributed computing issues for ubiquitous computing, including wireless technologies 
 
• Intelligent, aware, proactive, and attentive environments 
 
• Perception and modeling of the environment, including sensing devices and techniques 
 
• Evaluation methods for the use, configuration, and maintenance of ubiquitous computing applications

• Social implications of ubiquitous computing including privacy, security, and effect of human values

Papers and technical notes will appear in the conference proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The proceedings will also be made available through digital libraries including the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must be in the format specificed for Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Page limits for papers and technical notes refer to this format. Full instructions and templates for this format are available at: 
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

An adjunct compendium, containing summaries for posters and videos, will be published at the conference. This will be in A4 format (equivalent to US letter). There are no restrictions on the formatting for these submissions, but we suggest you use the SIGCHI conference publications format or an equivalent 2-column format.

FULL PAPERS  (DEADLINE PASSED!)
We recevied 136 full paper submissions. Authors have been notified and the list of accepted  papers will be announced soon.
Chair: Gaetano Borriello, University of Washington and Intel Research Seattle.
E-mail: gaetano@intel-research.net
Page limit: 18 pages in the Springer LNCS format
Deadline: April 17 (passed)

TECHNICAL NOTES (DEADLINE PASSED) 
We received about 60 technical notes. Authors have been notified and the list of accepted tech notes will be announced soon.
Chair: Larry Arnstein, University of Washington.
E-mail: larrya@cs.washington.edu
Page limit: 8 pages in the Springer LNCS format
Deadline: May 19 (passed)

WORKSHOPS  (DEADLINE PASSED)
Authors have been notified and we will announce the workshops soon.
Chair: Albrecht Schmidt, Lancaster University.
E-mail: albrecht@comp.lancs.ac.uk
Page limit: 4 pages
Deadline: May 19 (passed)

POSTERS (DEADLINE PASSED) 
Posters offer the opportunity to present preliminary or controversial results in an informal setting. The deadline is set very close to the conference date to encourage truly late breaking submissions. Posters will be presented during the main conference and a summary will appear in an adjunct conference publication. Submissions will be reviewed with the goal of creating a poster program that represents the breadth of disciplines and diversity of methods in ubiquitous computing research. 
Chair: Peter Ljungstrand, PLAY, Interactive Institute.
E-mail: peter@viktoria.se
Deadline: July 1 (passed)

NEW! VIDEO DEMONSTRATIONS (DEADLINE PASSED)
To take advantage of the unique setting in a movie theatre, UbiComp 2002 will have a special "popcorn and movies" night. We encourage the submission of all kinds of videos that present interesting applications, systems, environments, scenarios and products in ubiquitous computing. In addition to newly-produced videos, we also welcome historic videos that help illustrate the evolution of ubiquitous computing. The video program will be shown on the Draken cinema's gigantic screen, followed by an exciting science fiction movie with a UbiComp theme (title TBC). 
Submissions will be reviewed with the goal of creating a video program that represents the breadth of ubiquitous computing applications. No time limit is imposed, but the shorter and crisper the video is in its message and format, the larger its chance of being shown.
Chair: Peter Ljungstrand, PLAY, Interactive Institute.

Formats accepted: AVI or MPEG on a CD/DVD, or a VHS tape (any TV system). 
Deadline: July 1 (passed)

NEW! DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM (DEADLINE PASSED) 
The doctoral consortium provides an opportunity for students to outline their disseratation plans in a workshop format and receive constructive feedback from seasoned UbiComp researchers. The consortium takes place on the day before the conference. Submissions are published in the adjunct conference publication and are presented as posters during the main conference. Financial support will be offered for travel, thanks to our sponsor Intel Research. Full instructions can be found at the Doctoral Consortium submission page.
Chair: Anind K. Dey, Intel Research Berkeley.
E-mail: anind.k.dey@intel.com  
Deadline: July 1 (passed)

STUDENT VOLUNTEERS (DEADLINE PASSED) 
Student volunteers provide the backbone of any successful conference. Accepted volunteers are expected to work in scheduled sessions during the conference, but will also be given great opportunities to atttend the program and socialize. All student volunteers will receive a free registration to the conference (including meals & special events). The conference will provide travel support for international volunteers, thanks to our sponsor Nokia.
To apply, send the student volunteers chair a short description of yourself and why you would like work as a volunteer at UbiComp 2002. 
Chair: Johan Lundin, Mobile Informatics, Viktoria Institute.
