The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Ubi-media Computing
(U-Media 2010)

http://conference.cs.cityu.edu.hk/umedia2010/
July 5-6, 2010
Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua, China

Dynamicity in the cyberspace can be modeled as a spatiotemporal suite
of events populated by computing devices arrivals and departures,
communication channels uses, and multimodal interactions.
Contemporary ubiquitous devices unleash the boundary of one-to-one
human-computer interaction. It has become a de facto style of
facilitating social events, in which participants use several
distributed devices opportunistically through multimodal adaptive
interaction. How people access multimodal media in different contexts
of use is key to deliver the appropriate interactive systems to
humans. Ubi-media Computing, as it is bravely defined, explores
challenging issues on how to bring together technologies for context
adaptation, inter-device interaction, and media/data communication
for the well-being of humans.

The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE, with best
papers to be recommended for publication in special issues of
international journals. Topics of interests are divided based on
four levels:

Ubi-media Infrastructure
* Heterogeneous Ubi-media Infrastructure
* Ubiquitous Sensor Networks / RFID
* New Ubi-media Devices
* Multimedia Embedded Systems
