=========================== USW2005 CFP =================================== The First International Workshop on Ubiquitous Smart Worlds (USW2005) http://www.takilab.k.dendai.ac.jp/conf/usw/2005 in conjunction with the 19th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA2005) http://www.mine.tku.edu.tw/AINA2005 Tamkang University, Taipei, March 28-30, 2005 We are stepping into a post-PC era, in which a huge number and great variety of computers with different shapes, sizes and functions will be everywhere, so ubiquitous around us and pervasive in our environment. Such vision was first depicted by Mark Weiser, and associated technologies and applications were called ubiquitous computing (Ubicomp or Ubicom) by him around 1990 and later called pervasive computing (Percom) by IBM in 1999. Although many new terms of computing, e.g., invisible computing, disappearing computing, proactive computing, autonomic computing, everyday computing, sentient computing, amorphous computing, ambient intelligence, palpable computing and so on, have appeared since 2000, they can be regarded as something driven from ubicom with some special emphasis on or extensions of some aspects in the broad eubiquitousf frontier. Cyberworld brings us to the computerized digital virtual world. Ubicom, in contrast, brings computers to the physical real world including everyday environments and ourselves. Following ubiquitous computers (UC) and ubiquitous networks (UN), is a road towards ubiquitous intelligence (UI) or a smart world (SW). This is a graceful integration of the physical world and the cyberworld, in which ambient smart environments including smart objects embedded or attached with small or tiny networked computers/processors can greet us, remind us, advise us, and help us perform many jobs automatically, precisely, promptly, trustworthily, reliably, comfortably and politely. At the same time, the resulting integration is knowing and adapting to the rich dynamic contexts of our human, social, physical environment and digital world. This workshop offers a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in developing smart objects/materials, smart spaces/environments, and related networking/middleware technologies as well as discuss personal and social issues faced by the smart world. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: 1. Smart Object/Material * Smart Label, E-Tag and RFID * Smart Embedded Sensor and Actuator * Smart MEMS, NEMS & Biometric Device * Smart Card and Everyday Object * Smart Appliance and Wearable Device * Smart Material and Structure * Smart Textile, Cloth, Furniture, etc. * Smart Object OS and Software 2. Smart Space/Environment * Smart Home, Office and School * Smart Library, Laboratory and Factory * Smart Clinic, Hospital and Health Care * Smart Shop, Building, Street, Park and City * Smart Car, Traffic and Transportation * Smart Space Integration and Hyperspace * Smart Unobtrusive and Palpable Interface * Smart Applications and Novel Systems 3. Smart Networking/Middleware * Power/Context Aware & Intelligent Network * Wearable, Personal and Body Area Network * Network Embedded Chip and Space Network * Heterogeneous Service/Media Management * Context Framework, Database & Middleware * Universal Agent and Collaboration Platform * Autonomic Space Management/Maintenance * Proactive Mechanism and Middleware 4. Personal and Social Aspects * Space and Environment Modeling * User Identity and Activity Recognition * Security Framework and Policy * Privacy, Trust and Politeness * Psychological and Physiologic Factors * Emotional, Ethical and Legal Issues * Bright & Dark Sides of Smart Environment * Relations between Real and Cyber Worlds IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: October 20, 2004 Authors Notification: November 16, 2004 Final Manuscript Due: January 1, 2005 ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION Submit a full paper of at most 6 pages (IEEE Computer Society proceedings Manuscripts: two column, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page.
