>>> Call for papers:
>>> ACM International Workshop  Smart Gadgets Meet Ubiquitous and Social
>>> Robots on the Web (UbiRobots'12)
>>> Pittsburgh, PA, USA, September 8, 2012
>>> Submission : https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ubirobtos12
>>> Website : https://sites.google.com/site/ubirobots2012/
>>>
>>> IMPORTANT DATES
>>> Papers submission due date: June 10, 2012
>>> Paper notification acceptance/rejected: June 23, 2012.
>>> Camera-ready version available: July 2, 2012
>>> Workshop day: September 8, 2012
>>> ============================================
>>> Scope:
>>> Ubiquitous robots are smart software or physical service providers within
>>> ambient intelligence environments. The integration of these robots within
>>> cloud computing and ubiquitous computing technologies will enhance our
>>> daily lives. Ubiquitous robots as cognitive entities have been able to
>>> add
>>> value to services compared to traditional systems. They are able to
>>> coordinate their activities with other physical or logical entities, move
>>> around, sense and explore the environment, and decide, act or react to
>>> the
>>> situations they may face anywhere and anytime. In this multidisciplinary
>>> workshop, we would like to facilitate the discussions and build a bridge
>>> to strengthen the relationship between the ubiquitous computing, robotics
>>> and human-computer interaction communities. To allow for that, the
>>> workshop program will have invited speeches and papers from these
>>> communities that discuss the future trends, impacts and challenges for
>>> these fields and their combination, in addition to submitted papers and
>>> presentations. Without being restrictive, the workshop will cover the
>>> following topics:
>>>
>>> • Ubiquitous computing frameworks vs. Ubiquitous robotics frameworks
>>> • Interaction techniques for ubiquitous computing and ubiquitous robotics
>>> • Context awareness and cognitive capabilities
>>> • Ubiquitous robots integration within the semantic web and cloud
>>> computing
>>> • Novel application fields of ubiquitous computing and ubiquitous
>>> robotics
