Truly personal handheld and wearable technologies should be small and unobtrusive and allow access to information and computing most of the time and in most circumstance. Complimentary, environment-based technologies make artifacts of our surrounding world computationally accessible and facilitate use of everyday environments as a ubiquitous computing interface. The International Symposium on Handheld and Ubiquitous Computing, held for the first time in September 1999, was initiated to investigate links and synergies in these developments, and to relate advances in personal technologies to those in environment-based technologies. The HUC 99 Symposium was organised by the University of Karlsr...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Mobile Human-Computer Interaction, Mobile HCI 2004, held in Glasgow, UK, in September 2004. The 25 revised full papers, 20 revised short papers, and 22 revised posters presented together with summaries of 7 workshops and 2 panels were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 166 submissions. The full papers are organized in topical sections on screen and power limitations; user differences and navigation; evaluation and evaluation techniques, till, touch and text entry; auditory interactions; device differences and web pages; and novel interaction techniques.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Ubiquitous Computing Systems, UCS 2006, held in Seoul, Korea in October 2006. The 41 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 359 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on human computer interaction modeling and social aspects systems communications, as well as smart devices and security.
This volume of the LNCS is the formal proceedings of the 2nd European Symposium on Ambient Intelligence, EUSAI 2004. This event was held on November 8–10, 2004 at the Eindhoven University of Technology, in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. EUSAI 2004 followed a successful first event in 2003, organized by Philips Research. This turned out to be a timely initiative that created a forum for bringing together European researchers, working on different disciplines all contributing towards the human-centric technological vision of ambient intelligence. Compared to conferences working on similar and overlapping fields, the first EUSAI was characterized by a strong industrial focus reflected in the pro...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context, EuroSSC 2006, held in Enschede, Netherlands in October 2006. The 15 revised full papers and 14 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from over 50 submissions.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third European Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks February 2006. The 21 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of one invited talk and two tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from 133 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on query systems, sensor network services, routing, localization, platforms and development, medium access control, and measurements.

Clemens Holzmann investigates the role of spatial contexts for autonomous embedded systems. The author presents concepts for recognizing, representing, and reasoning about qualitative spatial relations and their changes over time, as well as an appropriate architecture which has prototypically been implemented in a flexible software framework. His results show that the proposed concepts are suitable for developing spatially aware applications and that qualitatively abstracted relations can constitute an adequate basis for this purpose.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing, UbiComp 2007. It covers all current issues in ubiquitous, pervasive and handheld computing systems and their applications, including tools and techniques for designing, implementing, and evaluating ubiquitous computing systems; mobile, wireless, and ad hoc networking infrastructures for ubiquitous computing; privacy, security, and trust in ubiquitous and pervasive systems.
This open access book presents a selection of the best contributions to the Digital Cities 9 Workshop held in Limerick in 2015, combining a number of the latest academic insights into new collaborative modes of city making that are firmly rooted in empirical findings about the actual practices of citizens, designers and policy makers. It explores the affordances of new media technologies for empowering citizens in the process of city making, relating examples of bottom-up or participatory practices to reflections about the changing roles of professional practitioners in the processes, as well as issues of governance and institutional policymaking.
