The phenomenal growth of those mobile computing devices, together with current trends in embedded systems and software, real-time interaction and omnipresent wireless networking fertilises the formation of a Ubiquitous Computing landscape, in which digital environments are aware of the presence of users, sensitive, adaptive and responsive to the users needs, habits and emotions and ubiquitously accessible for the user via natural interaction. This topic solicits papers dealing with the following mobile and ubiquitous computing elements: mobility, ubiquity, awareness, intelligence, and natural interaction. Mobility addresses solutions that help to make time, geographic, media and service boundaries less and less important. Ubiquity refers to a situation in which we are surrounded by a multitude of interconnected embedded systems, which are (mostly) invisible and moved into the background of our surrounding (workplace, building, home, outdoor). Awareness refers to the ability of the system to recognise and localise objects as well as people and their intentions. Intelligence refers to the fact that the digital surrounding is able to adapt itself to the people that live in it, learn from their behaviour, and possibly recognise as well as show emotion. Natural interaction finally refers to advanced modalities like natural speech- and gesture recognition, as well as speech- synthesis, which will allow a much more human-like communication with the digital environment than is possible today. The aim of the topic is to bring together, at Euro-Par 2003, computer scientists an engineers in the areas of wireless networking, mobile computing, and ubiquitous computing in order to present and share their ideas about the design and analysis of ubiquitous computing environments and the challenges imposed by the applications of mobile and ubiquitous computing. * Focus Mobile/wireless computing infrastructure Communication in mobile networks Mobility and QoS management Ad-hoc and personal area networks Media access techniques and terminals Ubiquitous/pervasive computing software architectures Ubiquitous access and context computing Smart devices and smart spaces Intelligent environments Sensors and actuators Positioning/tracking/authentication systems and technologies Mobile/ubiquitous/wearable computing scenarios Location-dependent/personalized wireless applications User interfaces and interaction models * Chairs Global Chair Prof. Max M�hlh�user FG Telekooperation TU Darmstadt, Germany Email: max@informatik.tu-darmstadt.de Vice Chairs Prof. Azzedine Boukerche Department of Computer Sciences University of North Texas, USA Email: boukerche@cs.unt.edu Karin Anna Hummel Institute for Computer Science and Business Informatics University of Vienna, Austria Email: karin.hummel@univie.ac.at Local Chair Prof. Alois Ferscha Institute for Practical Computer Science, Software Group Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria Email: ferscha@soft.uni-linz.ac.at * Euro-Par Mission and Details Euro-Par is well established as the premier annual European conference on all aspects of parallel and distributed computing.
