The 13th international conference on UbiComp will be held in Beijing, China on September 17-21, 2011 in Tsinghua University.
Ubicomp is the premier outlet for novel research contributions that advance the state of the art 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.
workshop 11, The Role of Design in UbiComp Research and Practice http://211.151.90.25/ubicomp2011/index.html
welcomes researchers and experts working in areas such as design, computer science, engineering, business development, anthropology, and psychology, and especially be interested in bringing people from east and west. Additionally, researchers who work on the interdisciplinary issues based on the above mentioned fields are also welcome.The workshop aims to provide a disciplinary forum for researchers and experts from design， computer science, psychology， and anthropology to exchange ideas on the issue of collaboration. It will build the understanding across disciplines and explore the potential opportunity for design in UbiComp research and practice. We also hope to bring the eastern and western to present some opinion on design state both in Asian and western countries.
Submission deadline: 20 June, 2011
Please submit a 4-page position paper or up to 10-page study paper to show the ongoing work, opinions, theories and methods based on interdisciplinary or collaborative work on UbiComp research and practice. We also plan to discuss this theme on cross-cultural perspective, so we will actively encourage submissions from those who has presented theories or methods bringing the role of design into a wider scope.
