Welcome

Welcome to the workshops and the Doctoral School of UBICOMP 2013 and ISWC 2013! This booklet provides a compact overview of the program of the 19 workshops and the 2-day Doctoral School (DS) that accompany the main conferences, and which place on September 8 and 9, 2013 in Zurich, Switzerland.

The 2013 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiqui-tous Computing (UBICOMP 2013) is the result of a merger of the two most renowned conferences in the field: Pervasive and UbiComp. This new joint format was introduced to better serve the needs of the research community and offer a single venue to present research results in the field of pervasive and ubiquitous computing. The International Sympo-sium on Wearable Computers (ISWC) is the premier forum to present cutting-edge research results in the fields of wearable computing and on-body and worn mobile technologies. Following several successful collaborations as part of the Pervasive conference series, UBICOMP 2013 and ISWC 2013 are collocated and organized as two independent scientific conferences, yet operated as a single event.

This booklet provides the description and general schedule of each workshop and of the DS as well as practical information to help attend-ees orient themselves at the workshops and DS venue and in Zurich. For more information and updates we also recommend consulting the website of the corresponding workshop and of the DS, the conference app (available for iPhone and Android), or our respective web presences at www.ubicomp.org and www.iswc.net.

Welcome

The organization of UBICOMP 2013 and ISWC 2013 was only possible thanks to the hard work that many community members – both junior and senior – have provided on a completely voluntarily basis. We would thus like to sincerely thank the whole Organizing and Program Committee, the external reviewers, and our generous sponsors and benefactors for their support. Our special thanks go to all Local Arrangement Chairs who have – with great commitment and passion – taken care of the bulk of work happening “behind the scenes”.

We wish you a wonderful stay in Zurich and an exciting UBICOMP 2013 and ISWC 2013 experience!

ASPI: Adaptive Security and Privacy Management for the Internet of ThingsOrganizers: Stefan Poslad, Mohamed Hamdi, and Habtamu Abie

Web: http://asset.nr.no/asset/index.php/ASPI2013

The ASPI2013 workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from relevant fields to present and disseminate the latest on-going research focussing on adapting security, privacy & manage-ment for the Internet of Thing. It aims to facilitate knowledge transfer and synergy, bridge gaps between different research communities and groups, to lay down foundation for common purposes, and to help iden-tify opportunities and challenges for interested researchers and tech-nology and system developers.

AwareCast: Second Workshop on Recent Advances in Behavior Prediction and Pro-active Pervasive ComputingOrganizers: Klaus David, Bernd Niklas Klein, Sian Lun Lau, Stephan Sigg, and Brian Ziebart

Web: http://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/awarecast/

Context prediction breaks the border from reaction on past and present stimuli to proactive anticipation of actions. Research directions spread from applications for context prediction over event prediction, archi-tectures for context prediction, data formats, and algorithms. Recent work focuses on three main challenges: (1) Prediction beyond location, (2) Benchmarks and common data sets, and (3) Common development frameworks. While there have been contributions targeting some of these challenges, we still see them as unsolved. Thus we invite unique contribution addressing these challenges and provide a forum to facili-tate collaboration among research groups focusing on context predic-tion.

SUNDAY SUNDAYHASCA 2013 HiCUE 2013

HASCA: Workshop on Human Activity Sensing Corpus and Its ApplicationOrganizers: Nobuo Kawaguchi, Nobuhiko Nishio, Daniel Roggen, Kaori Fujinami, and Susanna Pirttikangas

Web: http://hasca2013.hasc.jp/

Recent advancement of technology enables installations of small sized accelerometers or gyroscopes on various kinds of wearable/portable in-formation devices. By using such wearable sensors, these devices can estimate its posture or status. However, most of current devices only utilize these sensors for simple orientation and gesture recognition. More deep understandings and recognition of human activity through these sensors will enable the next-generation human-oriented com-puting. To enable the real-world application by these kinds of wearable sensors, a large scale human activity corpus might play an important role. Additionally, we have now a lot of high-performance mobile devic-es in real-world such as smart-phones. It is a great challenge to utilize such enormous number of wearable sensors to collect large-scale activ-ity corpus. In recent years, there are several on-going projects which are collecting human activities. In this workshop, we are planning to share these experiences of current research on human activity corpus and its applications among the researchers and the practitioners and to have a deep discussion for future of activity sensing.

HiCUE: Human Interfaces for Civic and Urban EngagementOrganizers: Simo Hosio, Jorge Goncalves, Vassilis Kostakos, Keith Cheverst, and Yvonne Rogers

Web: http://hicue2013.blogspot.fi/

How should citizens and communities interact with and in their city? Leveraging urban technology for civic purposes, such as citizen partici-pation and community engagement, has been steadily gaining interest in HCI. Essentially, citizens can be empowered to be heard and engage the city better through the use of modern technology. Examples of these technologies are mobile phones, public displays, sensor networks, art installations, or any other type of urban technology. HiCUE ‘13 seeks to investigate the progress in creating public human interfaces for in-teractive urban engagement. Our workshop discusses issues such as citizen participation in public life and decision-making, informing citi-zens, and civic engagement in all its various forms.

PeTRE: Workshop on Pervasive Technologies in Retail EnvironmentsOrganizers: Markus Löchtefeld, Petteri Nurmi, and Florian Michahelles

Web: http://www.pervasive-retail.com

The workshop on Pervasive Technologies in Retail Environments (PeTRE) is the continuation of MIRE 2011 (held at MobileHCI 2011) and provides an established forum for researchers from academy and industry ex-ploring how pervasive technologies can be embedded into retail envi-ronments to create new shopping experiences and services.

PURBA: Third International Workshop on Pervasive Urban ApplicationsOrganizers: Francesco Calabrese, Giusy di Lorenzo, Dominik Dahlem, Santi Phithakkitnukoon, and Neal Lathia

Web: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/events/purba2013/

Over the past decade, the development of digital networks and opera-tions has produced an unprecedented wealth of information. Handheld electronics, location devices, telecommunications networks, and a wide assortment of tags and sensors are constantly producing a rich stream of data reflecting various aspects of urban life. This constant stream of 0s and 1s allows unprecedented research opportunities. Through phone calls we can see cities making bold ‘handshakes’ during business hours, and then becoming introverted during the evening. With SMS texts, we can capture crowds cheering and sharing their emotional highs in spe-cial events. These digital traces also reveal the migratory magnetism of coastal city hotspots and the drudgery of a gridlocked commute. For urban planners and designers, these accumulations of digital traces are valuable sources of data in capturing the pulse of the city in an aston-ishing degree of temporal and spatial detail. Yet this condition of the hybrid city – which operates simultaneously in the digital and physical realms – also poses difficult questions about privacy, scale, and design, among many others. These questions must be addressed as we move toward achieving an augmented, fine-grained understanding of how the city functions – socially, economically and yes, even psychologically.

SOFTec: Second Workshop on Computer Mediated Social Offline InteractionsOrganizers: Nemanja Memarovic, Vassilis Kostakos, Geraldine Fitzpatrick, and Albrecht Schmidt

Web: http://uc.inf.usi.ch/events/softec13

In the age of online social networks, instant messaging, and email, social offline interactions seem destined to become an anachronism: as our use of electronic media increases, the number of hours per day that we interact directly with others “in the flesh” declines. Yet for all the power of synchronous and asynchronous remote communication, virtual interactions are hardly an adequate substitute. Recent studies show, e.g., that users of online social networking sites feel lonelier than non-users, and that people who have regular social offline interactions on a weekly basis enjoy a significantly reduction in mortality. Is there a way to have our cake and eat it, too? Can we design technology in such a way that its use comes not at the expense of social offline interaction, but supports it? The goal of this workshop is to examine how we can build technologies that promote offline interactions.

UbiMI: Second International Workshop on Ubiquitous Mobile InstrumentationOrganizers: Denzil Ferreira, Christian Koehler, Vassilis Kostakos, and Evangelos Karapanos

Web: http://ubimi.blogspot.ch/

In this workshop, we bring together researchers who take advantage of the proliferation of mobile devices and use them as instruments for research on ubiquitous computing. We are especially interested in the mobile devices, systems, applications, methods and tools that were built to explore such rich datasets. More so, we want researchers to share their experiences, successes and frustrations on conducting re-search in such power and processing constrained devices in order to capture a state-of-art on theories, models, methodologies and tools that cope with these challenges.

ASGA: Atelier of Smart Garments and AccessoriesOrganizers: Maurizio Caon, Yong Yue, Giuseppe Andreoni, and Elena Mugellini

Web: https://sites.google.com/site/ateliersmartgarments/

Wearable computing represented an important paradigm shift in en-gineering and computer science. At the present time, wearable com-puting is undergoing a new paradigm shift: the wearable systems that used to be transportable devices are actually weaving itself into ‘the fabric of everyday life’ (as predicted by Weiser). Indeed, the current trend of wearable computing is integrating the technology directly in the garments without introducing new body-worn systems. Clothes, shoes, eye-glasses, bracelets and watches are becoming smarter, seam-lessly embedding more and more powerful computational resources and communication possibilities. The change has already begun and this workshop aims to bring together researchers from the academia and the industry in order to establish a multidisciplinary community in-terested in discovering and exploring the challenges and opportunities coming from this natural evolution of wearable computing. Moreover, the Atelier of Smart Garments and Accessories aims to build a network of researchers dealing with the issues related to the design and devel-opment of smart garments and accessories in order to prepare joint projects, funding applications and work towards a series of workshops. The workshop will discuss the development of a coherent but multi-disciplinary research agenda for smart garments and agree detailed proposals for future work in the area.

CoSDEO: Device-free Radio-based recognitionOrganizers: Markus Scholz, Stephan Sigg, and Moustafa Youssef

Web: http://cosdeo.teco.edu/2013/

The 4th CoSDEO-workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems, algorithms or models for the device-free, radio-based rec-ognition of contexts. Recently, using analysis of signal distortions in a typical radio network to derive contexts such as location, type or activity of an object not outfitted with a radio, has received a growing amount of attention from researchers. The possibility to acquire context infor-mation without instrumenting users or installing special hardware and without the drawbacks of optical systems has great potential for typical applications of Ubiquitous Computing. The goal of CoSDEO 2013 is to provide a discussion venue for this growing community in which fundamental problems as well as sophisticated approaches and actual implementations can be presented. Thus, we like to encourage scientists in all stages of their research, from first experiments to read-ily developed and evaluated systems, to submit their original work to allow a broad discussion with established experts but also researchers relatively new to the field. Besides regular submissions, we also encour-age submission of visionary papers which do not need to describe com-pleted research but contain ideas new to the field. These may be related to novel techniques for the radio-based detection of contexts but also novel applications and designs of device-free radio-based context rec-ognition systems.

Green Food Technology: Ubicomp opportunities for reducing the environmental impacts of foodOrganizers: Adrian Clear, Rob Comber, Adrian Friday, Eva Ganglbauer, Mike Hazas, and Yvonne Rogers

Web: http://www.scc.lancs.ac.uk/greenfoodtechworkshop/

Food production, distribution, consumption and waste accounts for a large proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions. There is poten-tial to substantially reduce the environmental impacts of food with the support of digital technologies, but first a deeper understanding of the domain is necessary: sustainable food consumption presents interesting challenges for Ubicomp and HCI, given both the complex-ity of environmental impacts of foods (direct and embodied emissions spread across production, distribution, consumption and waste), and of everyday food practices that are e.g. socially, culturally, economically and practically defined. This complexity presents challenges, but it also offers many opportunities for technological intervention spanning the whole food consumption process. This workshop provides a forum re-searchers and practitioners from a diverse set of disciplines to come together to provide breadth of perspectives on food and sustainability; share understandings of existing food consumption practices and their carbon impacts; and to consider the challenges and opportunities for Ubicomp in supporting the emergence of more sustainable alterna-tives.

Web: http://32leav.es/perfab/

Recently, technologies for fabricating real-world objects and products that can be designed and built directly by the end-user have decreased in costs and are increasingly common. These technologies are expected to have a great impact on society. However, there is a great need to ex-plore many novel research challenges and issues before the idea of per-sonal fabrication becomes truly pervasive and applicable to the wider public. Our workshop is aimed at facilitating discussion and explora-tion of these challenges. We encourage submissions of research papers, work-in-progress papers with interesting preliminary results, and posi-tion papers. Attendance at the workshop is not limited, as anyone may register and attend. The long-term goal is to gather a community of researchers and establish this workshop as a leading forum for research dissemination in the area.

PUCAA: First International Workshop on Pervasive Urban Crowdsensing Architecture and ApplicationsOrganizers: Mani Srivastava and Archan Misra

Web: https://sites.google.com/site/pucaaworkshop2013/

Over the last couple of years, as the community and businesses have be-gun to realize the power of jointly harnessing nomadic mobile sensing and selective infrastructure-based ambient sensing, we are beginning to see the emergence of a class of “urban crowdsensing” platforms that perform pervasive sensing in a more coordinated fashion. Such com-bined sensing opens up the possibilities for exciting new applications in a variety of urban spaces, both outdoors (e.g., crowd coordination in theme parks, public safety monitoring in major public events, public health management) and indoors (e.g., healthcare, intelligent retail and promotions in shopping malls & energy-efficient building operations management). Driven by these trends, this workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the areas of urban and crowd-driven sensing. We invite original research work focusing on large or innovative crowdsensing architectures, systems and platforms and their experiences on developing crowdsensing applications im-pacting urban lifestyles in a variety of areas such as personal (mHealth) and public healthcare, retail & commerce, transportation, public safety, crowd management, utility services, etc.

The UBICOMP 2013 Doctoral SchoolWe are pleased to introduce the inaugural UBICOMP 2013 Doctoral School, an exciting event designed to support and strengthen the community of student researchers by facilitating networking, pro-viding mentoring, and fostering the exchange of ideas and knowl-edge.

The Doctoral School builds upon previous UBICOMP Doctoral Con-sortium events, expanding the long-held traditional event into a two-day research and career forum that includes doctoral stu-dents at both the junior and senior levels.

We have retained many of the aspects that have made the Doc-toral Consortium a successful and popular event in the past, in-cluding the participation of world-class UbiComp researchers from academia and industry to serve as faculty panelists, and the opportunity for students who are approaching the later stages of their PhDs to receive direct feedback on their completed and remaining research. In addition this year’s Doctoral School offers new activities and content, such as keynote talks from interna-tionally renown researchers, a research Q&A panel, a career Q&A panel, and a poster session for junior students to receive feedback on their planned PhD work and early results. The inclusion of both junior and senior students facilitates greater networking, and fur-ther opportunities for peer feedback.

The Doctoral School is a substantially larger event than previous Doctoral Consortia both in terms of attendees, faculty panelists, and content. The Doctoral School co-chairs would therefore like to thank the many people whose efforts have contributed to provid-ing this event for the UbiComp doctoral students, including the conference organizers and conference committee, and the student volunteers. We would especially like to thank the faculty panelists and speakers who have generously given of their time to help fos-ter the research and careers of the doctoral students.

The UBICOMP 2013 Doctoral School accepted submissions in both a junior and senior PhD student category and were assessed and de-cided separately. We accepted a total of 9 students at the senior level based on these abstracts, and 25 students at the junior level.

Participation in the Doctoral School is open to selected senior and junior students only.
