Alvin --- Alvin Chin Senior Researcher Nokia Research Center Beijing PhoneCom 2011 workshop co-chair CALL FOR PAPERS ========================================================= 1st International Workshop on Sensing, Networking and Computing with Smartphones (PhoneCom 2011) http://www.phonecom.org to be held on October 19, 2011, Dalian, China colocated with IEEE CPSCom 2011 ========================================================= Important Dates (updated): * Submission Deadline: July 10, 2011 * Notification of Acceptance: August 01, 2011 * Final Papers Due: August 15, 2011 * Workshop date: October 19, 2011 Workshop Organizers: * Alvin Chin, Nokia Research Center, Beijing, China (Primary Contact) * Jilei Tian, Nokia Research Center, Beijing, China * Feng Xia, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, China Contact: phonecom11@gmail.com The goal of this workshop is to address the many research issues that are still hampering the still difficult use of developing context rich mobile applications on smartphones. The workshop aims to attract and discuss the sensing, networking and application issues of smartphones, and how these can be solved by creating model, frameworks, and implementing context engines on smartphones. We want to bring together context computing, social computing, and hardware researchers along with user interface designers and practitioners with diverse backgrounds interested in 1) exploring different perspectives and approaches to modeling physical, spatial, temporal and social context from the smartphone, 2) the different types of applications that can be enabled from the rich gathering and inference of context, and 3) issues of integrating the context into application design and user interface and user interaction models. Submissions: We solicit short position papers (1-2 pages) and peer-reviewed research papers (4-8 pages) in the IEEE conference paper style. Use EasyChair to submit your papers at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=phonecom2011.
