UBICOMP 290 (ICS 290) Winter 2006

Recent Research in Ubiquitous Computing

This reading group will review recent literature in the Ubiquitous, Pervasive, CHI and other communities. The emphasis will be on developing a familiarity with trends and directions being developed by active researchers. This is a lunch friendly, PowerPoint unfriendy meeting. This is also a forum for students to present practice talks and get feedback as the need arises (PP allowed in that case). This class is being moderated by Asst. Prof. Don Patterson

This quarter we will be looking at work from the previous ISWC 2005, and CHI2005 conferences.

The class meets Tuesdays from noon to 1pm in ICS 136.

Last quarter's web page is here.
