Message from the General Co-Chairs

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 13th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing. This is the first time the UbiComp conference series comes to China. UbiComp is a conference that truly captures the wide variety of research activities in the diverse field of ubiquitous computing, encompassing research from, e.g., Human-Computer Interaction, Mobile Computing, Location and Sensing Technology, Machine Learning, Middleware and Systems, and Programming Models and Tools.

September 2011 also marks a historic date in UbiComp. It is exactly 20 years from when Dr. Mark Weiser’s landmark article, “The Computer for the Twenty-First Century,” appeared in Scientific American. This article is acclaimed for widely publicizing the idea of UbiComp in the research community and setting the goals for the early years of the field. We will mark this historic occasion with a special panel in tribute to the late Dr. Weiser. Our panel of luminaries, including those who worked with Dr. Weiser at Xerox PARC, as well as his contemporaries who were influenced by his work at the time, will reminisce on Mark’s predictions as well as present their view of where the field should move going forward.

Putting together UbiComp 2011 has been a team effort and we would like to thank a series of people. First, we’d like to thank the Program Chairs, Don Patterson, Yvonne Rogers, and Xing Xie, who recruited a strong program committee that has selected an exciting set of papers for the conference. The local organizers, Yu Chen, Silvia M. Lindtner and Yu Zheng, have been working hard to put it all together in Beijing. At ACM, Ash-ley Cozzi provided efficient and prompt support. As chair of the steering committee, James Scott has been supportive in answering our questions about the conference history. We are also thankful to those helping organize the practical matters required to pull off such an important event, including the student volunteer chairs Sidhant Gupta and Jia Jia, the access chairs Jennifer A. Rode and Qiong Wu, the industrial exhibition chair Yuan Dong, the treasurer Pin Tao, the web masters Guoliang Li and Yue Suo, and the publicity chairs Jiannong Cao and Henriette Cramer.

We also want to thank the technical program committee, including the workshop chairs Katie Siek and Zhi-wen Yu, the posters chairs Mike Chen and Tim Sohn, the demos chairs Darren Edge and Yongqiang Lv, the doctoral colloquium chairs Anind Dey and Cho-li Wang, the video chairs Jiming Guo, Julie Maitland and Gang Pan, the tutorials chairs Cecilia Mascolo and Daqing Zhang, the panel chair Beth Mynatt, and the film festival chairs Ian Li and Jun Fei. Finally, a special thanks to our publication chairs Beihong Jin and Sian Lindley, assist-ed by Lisa Tolles from Sheridan Printing Company, all of whom have processed the papers in a timely manner.

Finally, we wish to thank all the UbiComp 2011 attendees for supporting the conference and making it one of the most prestigious events in this field. We hope that you will find this program interesting and thought provoking and that the conference will provide you with a valuable opportunity to share ideas with other researchers and practitioners from institutions around the world.

Keynote

Uberrima FidesJan Chipchase, Executive Creative Director of Global Insights at frog

Abstract

You are the designers, the thinkers, the starters and doers - that can both imagine technologies of the future and know how to build them. However - as the world and the technology within it becomes increasingly connected, integrated, smart, pervasive, our ability to understand the consequences of our creations has diminished. From grassroots innovation to happy accidents, drawing on field research from Afghanistan to the Americas - Jan will explore the impact of technologies past, present and future and outline the skills required to build the next.

Bio

As Executive Creative Director of Global Insights Jan’s role is to bring real world insights into frog, and to use this to inform & inspire the design process. Its a journey that has taken him to the four corners of the globe – from under-standing the media consumption patterns of teens in Tokyo, the communications patterns of bankers in New York all the way through to redesigning the holistic mobile experience of illiterate farmers on the outskirts of New Delhi. His industry experience includes ~10 years and multiple roles in Nokia including Design Strategist in the Advanced Design Studio Los Angeles, and Principal Scientist in the Tokyo Research Laboratory. He has submitted over 26 patents in the telecoms and user experience space, his work is widely covered in the media including the New York Times, The Economist, Nikkei and Business Week, and he is a frequent keynote speaker on design and design strategy events ranging from design conferences, governmental & C-level events through to TED. In 2010 Fortune named Jan one of the 50 smartest people in tech.

Nicholas Lane is a researcher at Microsoft Research Asia, where he is a member of the Mobile and Sensing Systems Group (MASS). His research interests revolve around mobile sensing systems that incorporate robust and scalable sensor-based computational models of human behavior and context. Lane has extensive expe-rience building and deploying mobile sensing systems using a variety of sensing platforms (e.g., mote-class sensors, mobile phones and wearable devices). His PhD thesis proposed community-guided learning tech-niques for mobile sensing systems; and demonstrated by effectively leveraging both individuals and their communities, these systems can cope with the diverse large-scale user populations found in the real world.

T03: Android for Ubiquitous Computing Researchers [full day]Room: A438

Andrew Rice

Android smart-phones offer a huge opportunity to Ubiquitous Computing researchers. Due to the fact that a great deal of functionality can be accessed by applications running on an unmodified handset they offer the opportunity for robust, large scale deployment of ubicomp research ideas. The tutorial will focus on the development of a simple location-based application ‘GeoMessanger’. This application allows a user to post a geo-coded message and to receive background notifications of new messages in their vicinity. The tutorial will focus around a walk-through development of the application and we require all delegates to bring along their own laptops. Android development will take place using the Eclipse IDE and thus delegates will be free to use Linux, Mac or Windows platforms. Those delegates already owning Android devices will be able to develop straight onto these devices, those without devices will make use of the Android emulator. The work-shop will also feature a presentation on downloading, modifying and deploying new variants of the Android operating system. The tutorial aims to be accessible to delegates from all programming backgrounds. Prior experience of the Java programming language is desirable but not a prerequisite.

Speaker

Andrew Rice is a University Lecturer in the Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, UK. He has been using Android in both teaching and research since 2008. He teaches the Programming for Mobiles Course on the Advanced Computer Science MPhil, and has run numerous summer projects with undergradu-ates developing Android applications. He previously gave an Android tutorial at the International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia (MUM) 2009. His research on the power consumption of Android de-vices was awarded best paper at PerCom2010.

T04: Evaluating ubicomp applications in the field: The history, the techniques, and advice. [full day]Room: A440

As the technologies of ubiquitous computing mature, we are forced as a research community to go beyond proof of concept demonstrations of ubicomp applications and demonstrate what impact these systems have in the everyday lives of people. In this tutorial, I will provide an historical overview of important ubicomp evaluation efforts from the past that can serve as models of what to do and challenges that remain. I will also provide an overview of formative (in the process of designing a system to deploy) and summative (a real deployment evaluation) techniques that are particularly valuable for ubicomp application development and

T02: Building and Deploying Mobile Systems for Activity Recognition [full day]Room: A436

Tanzeem Choudhury, Pedja Klasnja and Nicholas Lane

Sensor-equipped mobile devices are rapidly becoming a powerful platform for activity and context recogni-tion. The ability to recognize user activities in everyday environments is driving innovations in healthcare, entertainment, social networking, gaming, transportation and citizen science. Although mobile sensing en-ables a wide range of applications, the different usage scenarios are unified by a set of common technical challenges related to: i) efficient and reliable sensing of people’s activities and environment; ii) accurate inter-pretation and classification of mobile sensor data; and iii) development and effective deployment of user ap-plications based on sensing. Experts in machine learning, human-computer interaction and mobile systems have been addressing these challenges but typically approach the problem from only one perspective. In this tutorial we will provide an interdisciplinary audience with the holistic view of the issues involved in the development and deployment of mobile systems for activity recognition. We will give an overview of the key ideas and approaches that have been proven successful in sensing, learning, and real-world deployments, as well as discuss some of the common pitfalls. The tutorial will be organized into a series of interactive ses-sions based around common usage scenarios that engage the audience via hand-on exercises that examine specific aspects of mobile activity recognition systems.

T05: Urban sensing using mobile phone network data [half day]Room: A434

Francesco Calabrese

Over the past decade the development of digital networks and operations has produced an unprecedented wealth of information reflecting various aspects of urban life. In this framework, telecom operators gather massive amount of data about how their users interact or occupy the city’s infrastructure. During the tuto-rial I aim to outline some examples of data that can be collected from telecommunication networks, and consider their strengths and weaknesses in terms of accuracy, level of details, and applications. Moreover, I aim at introducing techniques for dealing with limitations in granularity in both space and time, and pre-pro-cessing of mobile phone network data to infer patterns related to human activities in the city. Each of these techniques will be described in terms of assumptions and limitations, and will be illustrated with examples using real telecommunication datasets. Finally, I aim to provide an overview of the challenges currently be-ing faced in this field.
