Description
One of the main means of exchanging information in the UK-UbiNet research network will be workshops and conferences. The aim is to make these conferences as open and as inclusive as possible in order to foster growth of the research community. The community covers many aspects of research into ubiquitous computing, including wireless networks, sensors, distributed systems, interaction, social factors and theory.
This Initial Workshop is for the community to learn about what work is currently going on within the UK research groups, to establish the network and support collaboration in the research community.
The workshop will be held over two days (25-26th September 2003) at Imperial College London. The programme will consist of eight sessions covering a series of topics. Each session will open with an invited overview by a leading researcher in the field, followed by selected presentations describing research projects in this area. These presentations will describe both research visions and actual experience and the sessions will be completed with a panel discussion. There will also be an overview of UK-UbiNet, posters, demonstrations and plenty of time for debate and networking.
There will be no registration fees for research students attending the workshop, however they will have to cover their accommodation costs from other sources. The registration cost for academics will be £ 60 and for others will be £ 80, to cover the cost of meals and refreshments. Registration site is available until 11am on 23rd September (U.K. time). Space is limited, so please book now!
