Ubicomp 2006 — Call for Demos

The Ubicomp conference’s Demonstrations Program offers an excellent way to showcase tangible results of ubiquitous computing research and development to over 500 attendees from academia and industry. A successful demo communicates ideas and concepts in a powerful way that a regular presentation cannot. We invite you to contribute your vision of the ubicomp experience to the Demonstrations Program at the UbiComp 2006 conference. We particularly encourage demonstrations that include participation by conference attendees and provoke discussion about issues within the field of ubiquitous computing.

We seek proposals for demonstrations of ubiquitous computing technologies across the full milieu of everyday life: office, home, street, park, train, automobile, bedroom, bathroom, work, play, desktop, handheld, worn, public, private, community, individual, shared, and personal. We welcome a wide range of submission from scenarios involving innovative solutions of focused tasks as well as playful pursuits.

Ubicomp 2006 runs from September 17-21, 2006 and is hosted at UC Irvine in Irvine, CA.

Abstract Page limit: 2 pages (ACM SIGCHI conference publications format)

Submission Deadline: June 16, 2006
Acceptance Notification: July 14, 2006
Final Version Due: August 4, 2006

Umweltforshöw: UC Irvine Arts, Computation and Engineering Thesis Exhibition

Umweltforshöw
Arts, Computation and Engineering thesis exhibition
http://ace.uci.edu/umwelt/

May 18-27, 2006
Opening reception: Thursday May 18, 6-9 pm
Beall Center for Arts and Technology, UC Irvine
Directions and hours:
http://beallcenter.uci.edu/contact/directions.php

Umweltforshöw: the 2006 graduate thesis exhibition of the Arts, Computation and Engineering (ACE) graduate program at UCI. Umweltforshöw celebrates the spirit of Jakob von Uexküll's concept of the umwelt, his (1934) term for an organism's subjective lived environment. Digital technologies increasingly shape and alter our umwelt. This selection of work reflects upon the opportunities and issues which arise as we shape that umwelt, and it shapes us. This is the second annual graduation exhibition of the ACE program, an interdisciplinary graduate program in digital cultural practices.

This exhibition features interactive artworks and technologies created by Delvin Hanson, Cina Hazegh, Eric Kabisch and Kevin Ponto.
