*******************************************************************************
Basic Policy about Attending Workshops:
UCS 2007 workshops provide an opportunity to discuss and explore emerging
areas of research in ubiquitous computing systems with a group of
like-minded researchers and practitioners. Workshops may focus on any
aspect of ubiquitous computing systems, established concerns or new ideas.
The goal of the workshop is to share understandings and experiences, to
foster research communities, to learn from each other and to envision
future directions.
Workshops will be held on Sunday 25 November, the day before the main
conference. Please note that acceptance of submitted position papers
requires registration to UCS 2007<http://www.ht.sfc.keio.ac.jp/ucs2007/>.
Workshop titles and organizers are listed below. General questions about
the workshops can be addressed to the Workshop Chair (Masayoshi Ohashi
ma-oohashi[AT]kddi.com); specific questions about any individual workshop
should be directed to the organizer(s) of the workshop.

Submission Deadline (workshop position papers): August 31, 2007
Acceptance Notification (workshop position papers): September 30, 2007
Workshop Final Manuscript: Nov. 1, 2007

W1. The First Workshop on Community Computing
Organizers: Minkoo Kim (Ajou University) and Hideyuki Nakashima (Future 
University, Hakodate)

Community computing is a new paradigm for building ubiquitous systems which
can solve problems by the collaboration of entities in ubiquitous
environment. Community computing makes the collaborative and adaptive
service development more intuitive and natural. Many people are researching
various topics for community computing including context modeling, wireless
and sensor networks, and smart objects in the field of ubiquitous
computing. This workshop is intended to act as a focal point for
researchers and practitioners whose works are related to community
computing, to enable them to share their ideas and experiences.

Topics: Topics include, but are not limited to:
    * Models or Studies for cooperation system in Ubiquitous environment
    * Smart Object Designs and implementations for Community Computing
    * Middleware or infrastructure for Community Computing
    * Context Modeling for Community Computing
    * Security and Privacy issues in Community Computing
    * Case Studies with Community Computing Systems
    * Communication issues in Community Computing
    * Collaboration with Multi-Agent System

W2. The Fourth Workshop for Ubiquitous Networking and Enablers to 
Context-Aware Services
Organizers: Chair organizer: Shinji Shimojo (Osaka University)
                 Organizers: Yuuichi TERANISHI & Kaname HARUMOTO (Osaka University),
                         Junzo KAMAHARA (Kobe University), Takeshi OKUDA (Nara Institute of Science and
                         Technology), Hiroshi SUNAGA & Michiharu TAKEMOTO (NTT).

         A "ubiquitous networking" is a federated network technology which supports
various enablers such as 3G mobiles, RFID tags, sensors, actuators, etc. It
has enough capability to deal with huge number of IP packets generated from
enablers. At the same time, a lot of broadband contents are requested to be
delivered with perfectly controlled QoS. Efficient and scalable routing and
transport mechanism for supporting such various traffics are fundamental
requirement on the network.
         From a service perspective, a number of context or ambient aware services
are envisaged for "ubiquitous networking." A service platform will manage
and create services based on the context. There should be discussions how
to collect and generate user context, how to create or synthesize services
efficiently, and how to develop such systems using emerging software and
hardware technologies. There could be also discussions how to control
network performance based on user policy or service level agreement.
Providing robust security over all ubiquitous networks in a simple fashion
is an important issue associated with service provisioning to users.
Keeping privacy in ubiquitous networks is also a big issue.
         The other important aspect is enablers or ubiquitous objects themselves
where users are commonly faced with. What is a suitable design and
implementation of such objects? How they could be connected to a ubiquitous
network to provide contexts or how could they communicate with each other?
This Workshop is one of the best opportunities to address this theme in
sufficient depth and breadth, and is intended to share knowledge and
exchange ideas, thereby promoting new studies and research topics in this area.
Papers should be sent to the Organizers at
"ucs2007-ws-ubiq-nw[AT]lab.ntt.co.jp" no later than 31 Aug., 2007.

W3. Dependable Ubiquiotus Nodes (IWDUN)
Organizers: Hideyuki Tokuda (Keio University), Michael Beigl (TU Braunschweig),
Kazunori Takashio, Jin Nakazawa and Masayuki Iwai (Keio University)

Recent years have seen a rapid proliferation of micro ubiquitous nodes. As
well as o-the-shelf cellular phones, mobile audio players, and portable
game devices, wireless sensor nodes are of great interest for researchers
especially for devel- oping ubiquitous computing systems. Among those
proposed by the academia, particle nodes and Motes have been commercialized
so that we can deploy them for practical applications like environmental
monitoring, remote health care, and context captures. Despite the range of
development of sensor nodes, systems support that ensures their
dependability has not been investigated. We believe that the use of such
micro ubiquitous nodes in practical applications necessi-tates the systems
support that enables users to leverage from those applications without
being burdened by malfunction of the nodes, malicious users attacking them,
or inconsistent behaviors of them. The primary motivation of this work-
shop is hence to nding research issues inherent in achieving dependable
micro ubiquitous nodes, looking at existing research on them, and systems
on them.

Topics:
    * Application Scenarios Deserving Dependability
    * Middleware Support for Dependability.
    * Operating Systems Support for Dependability
    * Surveys on Dependability for Embedded Systems
    * Programming Paradigm
    * Operating Systems Model
    * Experiences on Dependable Sensor Nodes
    * Micro Ubiquitous Nodes

W4. Int'l Workshop on Real Field Identification (RFId2007)
Organizers: Sozo Inoue(Kyusyu University), Mitsuo Tsukada (NTT),
Marc Langheinrich (ETH), George Roussos (Univ. London),
Benessa Defend (UMASS Amherst), Yasunobu Nohara (Kyushu Univ.),
Yuichiro Yamaguchi (Oki Electric), Tomoki Yoshihisa (Kyoto Univ.),

We define RFId (Real Field IDentification) as a technology for identifying,
recognizing, and/or authenticating objects, events, and/or contexts in the
real world. It includes of course RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification),
smart devices as sensors, and/or various recognition techniques, with a
strong tie with platform software/hardware, and applications. As a result
of recent proposals and trials for the technology, fundamental techniques
are facing the needs to be tried in the real field, and application
experiences are to be fed back to new research challenges. In this
workshop, we encourage contributions for interacting these aspects of RFId

Topics:
         RFId as/for
    * Identification (with/without new devices)
    * Recognition
    * Infrastructure
    * Location Services
    * Security/Privacy
    * Data Management
    * Scalability
    * Deployment
    * Real Applications
    * Business Models
    * Social Acceptance
