The First IEEE International Conference on Ubi-media Computing (UMedia 2008) Lanzhou University, China, July 15-16, 2008 http://u-media.lzu.edu.cn/ Events in the cyberspace can be modeled as a spatiotemporal continuity populated by computing devices, communication channels, and multimodal interactions. Contemporary ubiquitous devices unleash the boundary of one-to-one human-computer interaction. E.g., it has become a de facto style of facilitating social events that participants use several distributed devices through multimodal interaction. How people access multimodal media in different context is an interesting yet challenging problem. Ubi-media Computing, as it is bravely defined, brings together technologies for location/context adaptation, inter-device interaction/reaction, and media/data communication. In line with the blooming technologies realizing the above concepts, this international conference looks at the state-of-the-art and original research issues to be published in the proceedings. New contributions include three perspectives: devices that realize ubiquitous computing, multimodal interactions between human and these ubiquitous devices, and the need of adaptive multimedia. The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE, with best papers recommended for publication in special issues of international journals. Topics of interests are divided based on three levels: • Ubi-media Infrastructure • Heterogeneous Ubi-media Infrastructure • Ubiquitous Sensor Networks / RFID • New Ubi-media Devices • Multimedia Embedded Systems • Ubi-media Storage and Indexing • 3G and Advanced Communication Techniques • Cross-Network Communication Techniques • Ubi-media Middleware • Context-Aware Multimedia • Cross-Network Media Server • Computational Intelligences in Ubi-media • Semantic Web and Knowledge Grid • Ubi-media Content Protection and Security • Privacy and Security in Ubiquitous Environments • Ubiquitous Surveillance and Forensics • Ubiquitous Human-Device Interfaces • Adaptive Graphics Rendering Techniques • Visualization of Ubi-media Information • Nomadic Video Conferencing • Ubi-media Applications • Ubi-media for Education • Ubi-media for Commerce • Ubi-media for Games • Ubi-media for Health Care • Ubi-media for Smart Home MANUSCRIPT FORMAT Do not exceed 6 single-space double column, 8.5 x 11-inch pages (including figures, tables and references) in 11 point Times Roman or similar font. Number each page. Include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the technical area(s) most relevant to your paper, and the corresponding author's e-mail address. Submissions should represent original, substantive research results. We will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under review for or has already been published (or accepted) for publication in another conference or journal. SUBMISSION DETAILS Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. All papers will be refereed by at least two members of the program committee. All submitted papers MUST be formatted according to the author guidelines provided by IEEE Computer Society Press (two-column format) and MUST NOT be longer than SIX pages. Please prepare your paper in a PDF file and upload your paper at http://u-media.lzu.edu.cn. For information, please contact Qingguo Zhou at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or Timothy K. Shih at [EMAIL PROTECTED] IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: January 1st, 2008 NOTE: Paper submission has been extended to January 28th, 2008.
