acm international conference computing ubicomp interaction

Ubicomp is an interdisciplinary field that includes technologies that bridge the digital and physical worlds, systems and applications that incorporate such technologies, infrastructures that support them, human activities and experiences these technologies facilitate, and conceptual overviews that help us understand – or challenge our understanding of – the impact of these technologies.
Methodologies & tools: new methods and tools applied to studying or building Ubicomp systems and applications
8 more annotation(s)...
- Theories & models: critical analysis or organizing theory with clear relevance to the design or study of Ubicomp systems
  Experiences: empirical investigations of the use of new or existing Ubicomp technologies with clear relevance to the design and deployment of future Ubicomp systems
- Full Papers (10-page submissions) and Notes (4-page submissions that are not works in progress) are due at the same time and will be reviewed by the same committee using the same review process to ensure a uniform quality between Full Papers and Notes. Both will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field, quality of research, quality of writing, and technical correctness.
- A Full Paper must break new ground and provide substantial support for its results and conclusions as a significant contribution to the field. Successful submissions typically represent a major advance for the field of ubiquitous computing. As such, Full Papers should include a thorough survey of related work; a comprehensive, detailed and understandable explanation of a device, system, study, theory or method; and a compelling validation of the work
- Full Papers must be no longer than 10 pages, including the abstract (no more than 150 words), all figures and references. Please download and use the required templates to prepare your submission.
- Notes are not "works in progress": they are intended for more succinct work that is nonetheless in a mature state ready for inclusion in archival proceedings. They will be held to the same standard of scientific quality as Full Papers, albeit for a shorter contribution, and must still state how they fit with respect to related work, and provide a compelling explanation and validation. Notes must be no longer than 4 pages, including the abstract (no more than 150 words), all figures, and references.
- They will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field, quality of research, quality of writing, and technical correctness
- Submissions must be in PDF format and conform to the guidelines specified in this call.
- March 23, 2012: Submission deadline (23:59 PDT)
  May 10, 2012: Accept/reject notifications

People don't want to manage all their information on the Web in the same interface they use to manage data and apps on their local PC
The Web is an entirely different medium than the desktop and it requires a new kind of interface. The desktop of the future - what some have called "the Webtop" - still has yet to be invented.
5 more annotation(s)...
- there has to be some kind of place that we consider to be our personal "home" and "workspace" -- but it's not going to live on any one device.
- This requires that our applications and data do not reside on local devices anymore, but rather that they will live in the cloud and be accessible via Web services.
- . Instead, all devices will synch with the cloud, where your applications, data and desktop workspace state will live as a unified, hosted service. Your desktop will appear on whatever device you login to, just as you left it wherever you last accessed it.
- If these trends continue, will the browser eventually swallow up or simply replace the desktop? Yes. In fact, it will probably happen very soon. There just isn't any reason to have a desktop outside the browser anymore. What we think of as "the desktop" is really just a perspective on our information and applications - it's really just another "page" or context in our digital lives.
- As our digital lives evolve out of the old-fashioned desktop into the browser-centric Web environment we will see a shift from organizing information spatially (directories, folders, desktops, etc.) to organizing information temporally (feeds, lifestreams, microblogs, timelines, etc.)
