Call for Papers Activity-Based Computing SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 1 October 2007 Author guidelines: www.computer.org/pervasive/author.htm Submission address: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cs-ieee WIP Deadline: See below Publication date: March 2008 Classical desktop GUIs respond to explicit user actions such as invoking an application, searching on user-supplied keywords, and printing a user-selected document. Mobile context-aware systems can seek out resources (such as printers) and modulate their responses based on context (such as the names of restaurants in nearby locations). A new paradigm is emerging wherein, through the use of physical and cyber sensors, activity-based computing can enable a device to sense its user's context and appropriately modulate its response (such as postponing interaction until a more appropriate situation) and in some cases act proactively based on user activity (such as walking, eating, or driving). IEEE Pervasive Computing welcomes submissions on all aspects of pervasive technologies that address issues related to activity-based computing, including: Sensing: reliable recognition of user's current context Context definition: identification of relevant information Activity recognition: hardware and software support for reliably identifying user activities Learning: personalization of activities based on usage Collaboration: sharing activities across users Roaming: support for seamless migration of activities across physical spaces Adaptation: how computing activities can reconfigure to best use currently-available resources (computing, network, UI devices). User centered design for activity-based computing Tools for activity-based computing Testing methodology: evaluation of activity based computing systems Experiences with deploying and evaluating activity based systems Submissions should be 4,000 to 6,000 words long and should follow the magazine's guidelines on style and presentation. All submissions will be peer-reviewed in accordance with normal practice for scientific publications. Submissions should be received by 1 October 2007 to receive full consideration. In addition to full-length submissions, we also invite work-in-progress submissions of 250 words or less (submit to). These will not be peer-reviewed but will be reviewed by the Department Editor and, if accepted, edited by the staff into a feature for the issue. The deadline for work-in-progress submissions is 1 February 2008.
