Artificial
Intelligence in Mobile Systems 2007
In
conjunction with the AISB
convention 2007
April 2-5, 2007, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Today's
information technology is rapidly moving small computerised
consumer devices and hi-tech personal appliances from the desks of
research labs onto sales shelves and into our daily life. These
include PDAs, embedded computers in cameras, cars, and mobile phones as
well as high performance wearable computers and tablet PCs. Many of
these devices are becoming essential tools that we increasingly rely on
both in private and in professional settings. In addition, a growing
number of locations are being outfitted with a ubiquitous
infrastructure and networking access. This may enhance the capabilities
of mobile devices in supporting us when solving daily tasks and may
enable new applications. However, it also poses new challenges that
AI methods may help to address, for example:
- limited resources (in terms of computing
power, storage, bandwidth, screen real estate etc.)
- context dependency (location, social context,
mental state
of the user)
- ambiguity in interaction (speech, gestures,
multi-modal interaction)
- adaptation (to a user, to (partial) outages of
services and
infrastructures)
- modelling the world (what and where things are)
Scope
Hence, the AIMS 2007 workshop intends to bring together researchers
working in various areas of (applied) AI to discuss solutions to these
challenges and further ones posed by mobile and ubiquitous computing.
The main objective of the workshop is a lively discussion and exchange
of ideas based on technical papers. The scope of interest includes but
is not limited to the following topics (in no particular order):
- mechanisms for
location and context awareness (e.g. knowledge-based
acquisition of contextual information, inference of location)
- spatio-temporal issues and
methods in mobile and ubiquitous computing (e.g. correlation between
spatial abstractions and
different interface modalities)
- multi-modal interfaces for
mobile and ubiquitous
systems
- user interfaces that adapt to the current situation
as well as to resource availability (e.g. modelling the trade-offs
between reasoning capabilities, resource consumption and real-time
constraints)
- plan-based approaches for interaction and adaptation
- user modelling for mobile and ubiquitous computing
- scalable ontologies

Call
for papers
We encourage submissions from researchers and practitioners in
academia, industry, government, and consulting. Students, researchers
and practitioners are invited to submit
papers (up to 6 pages)
describing original, novel, and inspirational work. All submissions
will be reviewed by an international group of researchers and
practitioners. Submission should be sent by
Jan 08, 2007, to
Jörg
Baus (baus@cs.uni-sb.de)
A text version of the call for papers is also
available.
