UBICOMP 290 (ICS 290) Winter 2007

Recent Research in Ubiquitous Computing

This reading group will review recent literature in the Ubiquitous, Pervasive, CHI and other related 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). On the weeks when papers are presented, they are presented by attenders. This class is being moderated by Asst. Prof. Don Patterson

This quarter we will be looking at papers from UBICOMP 2006, held in perfect, sublime Orange County.

The class meets Tuesdays from 11:30am to 12:30pm in ICS 136.

The course code is 37358. If you are a student please register, although if that's a problem don't let it prevent you from coming anyway

Last quarter's web page is here.
