Call for papers
International Workshop on Ubiquitous and Collaborative Computing (iUBICOM)
13 July 2015 in Lincoln, UK
In conjunction with the 2015 British Human Computer Interaction Conference
Following seven successful previous iUBICOM (International workshop on Ubiquitous and Collaborative Computing) workshops, we present the 8th iUBICOM workshop. Our theme for this year’s workshop is “Personalised Information Modelling and Retrieval”. The rapid proliferation of data through various sources such as the Web, ubiquitous and embedded devices, presents individuals and organisations with huge amounts of stored and collected information to process and make sense of in different ways. This raises several challenges for real world data dependent applications in the way information is gathered, modelled, and retrieved to gain value and insight from the data. This workshop will bring multi-disciplinary researchers together to discuss models and theories to develop novel personalised intelligent information modelling and retrieval systems which can identify meaning, context, and patterns in data providing mechanisms to retrieve and present relevant information to end users.

Workshop Topics
We wish to attract a wide range of participants involved in designing ubiquitous computing systems with a particular focus on Intelligent Information Modelling and Retrieval, who can contribute to knowledge about the understanding of user needs. Thus, the workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
- User-centred design approaches for ubiquitous systems
- Personalised and contextualisation information retrieval systems
- Task specific information retrieval systems
- Smart cars
- Smart homes
- Assistive technology
- Context aware systems
- Ubiquitous computing and new user experiences
- Interaction styles in ubiquitous computing
