The 8th International Conference on Ubi-Media Computing (UMEDIA 2015)
August 24-26, 2015, Colombo, Sri Lanka
http://www.icter.org/umedia2015 http://umedia2015.minelab.tw
Scope: Events in the cyberspace can be modeled as a spatiotemporal continuity
populated by computing devices, communication channels, and multimodal interactions.
Contemporary ubiquitous devices unleash the boundary of one-to-one human-computer
interaction. E.g., it has become a de facto style of facilitating social events that
participants use several distributed devices through multimodal interaction. How people
access multimodal media in different context is an interesting yet challenging problem.
Ubi-media Computing, as it is bravely defined, brings together technologies for
location/context adaptation, inter-device interaction/reaction, and media/data
communication. In line with the blooming technologies realizing the above concepts,
this international conference looks at the state-of-the-art and original research issues to
be published in the proceedings. New contributions include three perspectives: devices
that realize ubiquitous computing, multimodal interactions between human and these
ubiquitous devices, and the need of adaptive multimedia. The conference proceedings
will be published by IEEE, with best papers recommended for publication in special
issues of international journals. Interested topics are divided based on three levels:
Ubi-Media Infrastructure
* Hierogeneous Ubi-media Infrastructure
* Ubiquitous Sensor Networks /RFID
* New Ubi-media Devices
* Multimedia Embedded Systems
* Ubi-media Storage and Indexing
* 3G and Advanced Communication techniques
* Cross-Network Communication Techniques
Ubi-Media Middleware
* Context-Aware Multimedia
* Cross-Network Media Server
* Computational Intelligences in Ubi-media
* Semantic Web and Knowledge Grid
* Ubi-media Content Protection and
Security
* Privacy and Security in Ubiquitous Environments
* Ubiquitous Surveillance and Forensics
* Ubiquitous Human-Device Interfaces
* Adaptive Graphics Rendering Techniques
* Visualization of Ubi-media Information
* Nomadic Video Conferencing
Ubi-Media Applications
* Ubi-media for Education
* Ubi-media for Commerce
* Ubi-media for Games
* Ubi-media for Health Care
* Ubi-media for Smart Home
Manuscript Format
