Aihe: Pervasive2010 17-20.5. : Suomalaisia opiskelijoita student volunteereiksi


Hei,

voitteko välittää opiskelijoillenne kutsua student
volunteeriksi Pervasive 2010-konferenssissa tänä keväänä?

Pervasive 2010 hakee sekä suomalaisia että ulkomaalaisia
opiskelijoita avustamaan konferenssin käytännön
järjestelyissä. Työmäärät tullaan asettamaan sen verran
alas, että opiskelijoille tarjoutuu erinomainen mahdollisuus
päästä osallistumaan myös itse konferenssiin ja myös
ubicomp-alan tutkijoihin eri puolilta maailmaa.

Lisätietoa ja ilmoittautumislomake löytyvät seuraavasta
osoitteesta:

http://www.pcuie.uni-due.de/pervasive2010/

Ilmoittautuminen 8.2. mennessä. WWW-sivuilla lukee
deadlinena 1.2., mutta se on ajateltu lähinnä ulkomaalaisia
hakijoita ajatellen.

Being an SV in Pervasive 2010

Student volunteers (SVs) are an integral part of the
Pervasive 2010 conference. SVs act as the user interface of
the conference. Our users, the conference presenters and
attendees, rely on us to create an excellent user
experience. As an SV, you will have specific jobs to do such
as helping attendees register, checking badges at
presentations and manning information booths. However,
regardless of your assigned job, attendees will also look to
you as knowledgeable representatives of the conference. The
success of the conference depends very heavily on the
success of the SV program. It's a lot of work, but it can be
a very rewarding experience.

As an SV, you agree to work 20 hours during the conference
in return for free registration, meals, a Conference Dinner
ticket and a student volunteer T-shirt. Last but not least
you will have a chance to meet people and create your own
network in the Pervasive community.


Application Process

Students who want to be SVs in Pervasive 2010 are required
to register via the application page. After the application
deadline, the SV chairs and the organizers of Pervasive 2010
will review the applications and announce the students
accepted for the SV program no later than 1 March 2010.




Call for demos, videos, posters and doctoral colloquium
papers

Deadline 1 FEBRUARY 2010


Pervasive 2010, the Eight International Conference on
Pervasive Computing, will be held 17-20 May 2010 in
Helsinki, Finland, www.pervasive2010.org

This annual conference provides a premier forum for
researchers to present their latest results in all areas
related to architecture, design, implementation,
application and evaluation of pervasive computing as it
integrates into our lives.

Pervasive 2010 builds on the success of previous
conferences in this series held in Zurich (August 2002),
in Linz/Vienna (April 2004), in Munich (May 2005), in
Dublin (May 2006), Toronto (May 2007), Sydney (May 2008)
and Nara (May 2009).

Pervasive 2010 will include Pervasive Plaza, an exhibition
including demos, videos and posters, as well as a
doctoral colloquium for PhD students.

We still welcome contributions in the form of demos, videos,
posters and doctoral colloquium papers. Relevant topics in
the conference include, but are not limited to

* Technologies and devices for pervasive computing
* Software aspects, including middleware and operating
systems for pervasive computing
* Tools, infrastructures, architectures and techniques for
designing, implementing & deploying pervasive computing
systems
* Applications of pervasive computing technologies
* Interfaces and modes of interactions between people and
pervasive computing devices, applications or environments
* Evaluations and evaluation methods for assessing the
impact of pervasive computing devices, applications or
environments
* Privacy, security, trust & social issues and
implications of pervasive computing

Call for demonstrations

The category of research demonstrations offers a unique
opportunity to showcase research prototypes, and to
discuss them with an international audience of experts in
pervasive computing. To promote this, Pervasive 2010 is
seeking interesting and engaging demonstrations of
pervasive computing technologies. Proposers are invited to
submit Research Demonstrations under the general topics of
the conference.

For a more detailed description and submission
information, please see www.pervasive2010.org

===

Call for videos

Videos are an effective tool to showcase research results,
to inspire other researchers, and to educate the general
public about the latest developments in Pervasive
Computing. With the category of Research Videos, Pervasive
2010 seeks research contributions, future visions, project
descriptions, and concepts of pervasive computing
technologies, systems and applications. The conference
particularly values practical experience with design,
deployment and use of pervasive systems and applications,
and investigation of exciting and inspiring ideas and
technologies.

For a more detailed description and submission
information, please see www.pervasive2010.org

===

Call for posters

The Pervasive 2010 Posters track offers a concise format
for authors to contribute novel ideas and recent research
findings in pervasive computing technologies, systems, and
applications and share their ideas in a
discussion-oriented forum. In contrast to papers, poster
abstracts may report on preliminary work, late-breaking
results, smaller findings, or work otherwise in progress.

For a more a detailed description and submission
information, please see www.pervasive2010.org

===

Call for Doctoral Colloquium Papers

The doctoral colloquium offers a chance for PhD students
to receive high- quality feedback from external reviewers
and to directly interact with peers, to exchange ideas,
discuss concepts, and establish informal cooperation
between research groups.

PhD students and candidates are invited to present,
discuss and defend their work-in-progress or preliminary
results in an international and renowned audience of
researchers and developers in the ubiquitous computing
field at Pervasive 2010. PhD students and candidates at
all stages in the process are invited to submit a thesis
position paper, but preference is given to students early
on in their PhD work. Participants will be expected to
give short, informal presentations of their work during
the Colloquium, to be followed by a discussion.

For more a detailed description and submission
information, please see www.pervasive2010.org

Critical Dates

* 1 February 2010 Submission deadline for demos, videos,
posters and doctoral colloquium papers
* 8 March 2010 Author Notification
* 31 March 2010 Camera-ready deadline for paper submissions
