> IEEE Pervasive Computing invites articles about urban computing: the
> integration of computing, sensing, and actuation technologies into our
> everyday urban settings and lifestyles. Successful integration
> requires
> taking several facets of the urban environment into account at
> once. Urban
> settings frame social behaviors; they encompass architectural forms
> and
> features that may or may not be harmonious with given technologies;
> and they
> are increasingly but variably permeated by wireless networks and
> fixed and
> mobile devices. A key challenge is the great diversity and density of
> people, devices, and built artifacts found in urban places. Urban
> computing
> ranges from city-wide transportation-sensing infrastructure, to
> services
> embedded in a cafe, to the bluetooth "aura" of an individual's
> mobile phone
> as he or she walks down a street.
>
> We welcome papers on all aspects of pervasive technologies embedded
> specifically in the city, especially those that combine social,
> architectural, and technological perspectives. We encourage reports
> of user
> studies and other data-gathering exercises; lessons learned from
> technology
> designs and deployments; conceptual frameworks for urban computing;
> and
> fully worked-out visions for the cities of the future.
>
> Example topics include
>
> * Clicks and mortar: the built environment as a tangible
> interface to
> services and applications.
> * Archi-tech-ture: designing technology for architecture and
> architecture for technology.
> * Wireless society: accounts of media or bandwidth sharing and
> other
> social phenomena that emerge from increasing densities of
> bluetooth, Wi-Fi,
> and cellular networks in urban areas.
> * Theories of the urban landscape such as space syntax applied to
> technological embeddings.
> * Street riders: applications for transportation systems and
> vehicular
> technologies, especially car-car and car-street interactions.
> * Citizen sensors: sensors that people wear or carry to measure
> such
> factors as pollution levels or the presence of individuals nearby, and
> especially applications that combine results from across the city.
> * Urban interaction: displays, smart posters and other public
> interaction facilities.
> * Digital identity: the presentation of self in digital urban
> life.
> * Sous les pavés, la plage ("under the paving stones, the
> beach," from
> Paris, 1968): investigations exploring alternative digital tags,
> markings,
> traces, and graffiti.
> * Urban experiences: technologies for events such as festivals,
> mediascapes, other new ways of experiencing the city.
> * Come out and play: street games, especially perpetual games,
> that
> remix the city landscape as gameboard.
> * Downtownware: middleware for smart streets, buildings, buses,
> pedestrians, and so forth—a key aspect being the highly dynamic
> nature of
> these systems.
> * The city as a system: system support for metropolitan scale
> computational abstractions. One example is spatial programming,
> where tuple
> spaces are embedded as a location-dependent coordination mechanism,
> potentially across the city.
> * Urban noir: the darker side of urban life: privacy, security ...
> opportunity or barrier to adoption?
> * Real-world deployments: experiences, and lessons learned.
>
> Submissions should be 4,000 to 6,000 words long and should follow the
> magazine's guidelines on style and presentation. All submissions
> will be
> peer-reviewed in accordance with normal practice for scientific
> publications. Submissions should be received by 15 January 2007 to
> receive
> full consideration.
>
> In addition to full-length submissions, we also invite work-in-
> progress
> submissions of 250 words or less (submit to Molly Mraz at
> [EMAIL PROTECTED]). These will not be peer-reviewed but will be
> reviewed by
> the Department Editor Anthony Joseph and, if accepted, edited by
> the staff
> into a feature for the issue. The deadline for work-in-progress
> submissions
> is 1 April 2007.
