[dbjapan] U-Media 2011 in Brazil - Call For Papers

** U-Media 2011 Submission Deadline: Feb. 25, 2011**

Call for Papers

The 4th IEEE International Conference on Ubi-media Computing
(U-Media'2011)

http://nupro.ufabc.edu.br/umedia2011/
July 3-4, 2011
Sao Paulo, Brazil

Dynamicity in the cyberspace can be modeled as a spatiotemporal suite 
of events populated by computing devices arrivals and departures, 
communication channels uses, and multimodal interactions. 
Contemporary ubiquitous devices unleash the boundary of one-to-one 
human-computer interaction. It has become a de facto style of 
facilitating social events, in which participants use several 
distributed devices opportunistically through multimodal adaptive 
interaction. How people access multimodal media in different contexts 
of use is key to deliver the appropriate interactive systems to 
humans. Ubi-media Computing, as it is bravely defined, explores 
challenging issues on how to bring together technologies for context 
adaptation, inter-device interaction, and media/data communication 
for the well-being of humans.

The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE. 

Best and Selected papers will be invited for special issues in 
international journals:

International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET), IGI Global 

and 

International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering (IJCSE),
Inderscience Publishers
