Description

UK-UbiNet is an EPSRC funded network of research in the U.K. in the area of Ubiquitous Computing. The community covers many aspects of research into ubiquitous computing, including networks, sensors, distributed systems, interaction, social factors, security and theory. This summer school is mostly aimed at training 1st year PhD students and RAs who are new to the area. It will provide an overview of the current research and topics of interest in the field. It will be held over three days (13th - 15th September 2004) at the National e-Science Centre, Edinburgh. The programme will consist of twelve sessions covering a series of topics presented by leading international experts in the field.

The summer school is free, although students will be responsible for their own travel and accommodation arrangements. Registration (now closed) at the NESC site. Numbers are limited and the summer school is now full.
