CALL FOR PAPERS
The 2nd IEEE International Symposium on Ubisafe Computing (UbiSafe-09)
Chengdu, China, December 12-14, 2009
http://cs.okstate.edu/ubisafe09/
Sponsored by IEEE CS TCSC (indexed by EI)
IMPORTANT DEADLINES:
Submission Deadline: Aug. 31, 2009 (Pacific time, extended and final)
Author Notification: Sep. 30, 2009
Final Manuscript Due: Oct. 15, 2009
SYMPOSIUM INFORMATION:
Computers are now available anytime, anywhere, by different means, and
distributed unobtrusively throughout the everyday environments in which
physical objects/artifacts embedded with invisible computers are sensible
and networked locally and globally. Such "any" computers open tremendous
opportunities to provide numerous novel services/applications in both real
world and cyber spaces, and exist ubiquitously in our daily life, working,
learning, traveling, entertainment, medicine, etc. Although it is yet
unclear what exactly the real-cyber integrated worlds would be, there is
no doubt that they must be safe.
UbiSafe emphasizes the SAFE aspects for ubiquitous, pervasive, AmI,
mobile, universal, embedded, wearable, augmented, invisible, hidden,
context-aware, sentient, proactive, autonomic, or whatever it is called,
computing. UbiSafe computing is focused on theories and technologies for
ubiquitous artifacts to function safely for different purposes; for
ubiquitous systems to work safely in various situations; and for
ubiquitous environments to behave safely with all people. A series of
challenges exist to let people benefit from ubiquitous services, and
simultaneously guarantee their safety in making ubiquitous safe
artifacts, systems, and environments.
The UbiSafe-09 Symposium provides a forum for engineers and
scientists in academia, industry, and government to address all safety
related profound challenges including technical, social, legal and ethical
issues, and to present and discuss their ideas, theories, technologies,
systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experience on all
aspects of UbiSafe computing.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
* Fundamentals
- UbiSafe concepts, definitions, basic elements, models, frameworks and
methodologies, human-centric paradigms,
multi-disciplinary/inter-disciplinary/trans-disciplinary approaches,
semantics, ontologies, UbiSafe requirements and formal specifications
and validations, information assurance, etc.
* Technologies
- Security and privacy protection, reliability and fault tolerance,
risk analysis, uncertainty and exception handling, socially intelligent
agents, intuitive/natural user interface, interaction design,
context-awareness, intelligent computing, service-oriented computing,
hardware, software, middleware, etc.
* Systems
- Embedded systems, wearable systems, augmented systems, context-based
systems, communication systems, safety-critical systems, survivable
systems, persistent systems, autonomous/autonomic systems, proactive
systems, network infrastructure, sensor networks, etc.
* Applications
- Smart objects, smart environments, information appliance and
artifacts, everyday gadgets, robots, safety care, healthcare, medical
care and services, working, learning, traveling, entertainment, case
studies, etc.
* Measures and Assessments
- UbiSafe attributes and measures for safety, trust, faith, amenity,
easiness, comfort, satisfaction and worryness, UbiSafe levels and
relations, UbiSafe quality, assessment criteria and authority,
subjective and objective assessment standards, evaluation methodologies,
testing, measuring and monitoring tools, etc.
* Human Factors and Social Issues
- Human and social aspects of UbiSafe, UbiSafe sources and factors,
social rules, regulations and laws, human factors, human behavior
analysis, modeling of human feelings, traditional and cultural issues,
ethical issues, etc.
