Dagstuhl Seminar on Ubiquitous Computing
09.09.2001-14.09.2001
|
The International Conference and Research Center for Computer Science at
Schloss Dagstuhl has a tradition of organizing seminars of high international
standard on cutting-edge topics in computer science. The idea of the seminars
is to gather a group of 30-40 leading scientists and young promising
researchers to jointly discuss key ideas and research directions in their field
in the very special atmosphere of the castle.
Based on a proposal by the organizers, Dagstuhl hosted a Seminar on
Ubiquitous Computing on September 9-14, 2001. The seminar did not follow the
usual workshop formats but encouraged a high degree of collaborative discussion
and work among the participants from research
backgrounds such as computer science systems, smart technologies, and
human-computer interaction.
One of the objectives of the seminar was to shed light on the development
from the different angles that researchers investigate, and to foster a
community that cuts across computer science disciplines and neighboring fields
of research.

Schedule
The following outlines the schedule followerd during the week of the seminar.
Except for the invited presentation by Roy Want on the first day, all of the
sessions were scheduled collaboratively and dynamically by all of the
participants. The general format was that of having short presentations on a
given topic in the morning, followed by a plenary discussion on topical
break-out sessions. In the afternoon, small working groups of between 5 and 10
participants would then discuss one of the break-out topics each, and convene
before dinner again to discuss the results of each working group in the
plenary. Occasionally, a number of presentation would also be scheduled after
dinner, though most of the time evenings were spent with informal discussions
over snacks and beverages.
