UBICOMP 290 (INF 290) Fall 2007

Software Systems in Ubiquitous Computing

This reading group will review 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 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 Nick Noack and Asst. Prof. Don Patterson

This quarter we will be looking at papers from the Pervasive 2007 conference in Innsbruck, Austria.

Class meeting time is Thursday 12:30 -1:30 DBH 5011

The course code is 37307. 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.

Thanks to Mo we have links to the papers below and the course drop box has a pair of zip files with all the papers in them.
