*ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous 
Computing (UbiComp)*

The ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous 
Computing (UbiComp) is the result of a merger of the two most renowned 
conferences in the field: Pervasive and UbiComp. While it retains the 
name ofthe latter in recognition of the visionary work of Mark Weiser, 
its long name reflects the dual history of the new event. UbiComp is a 
premier interdisciplinary venue conference in which leading 
international researchers, designers, developers, and practitioners in 
the field present and discuss novel results in all aspects of ubiquitous 
and pervasive computing. This includes the design, development, and 
deployment of ubiquitous and pervasive computing technologies and the 
understanding of human experiences and social impacts that these 
technologies facilitate.

The International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC) is the premier 
event for wearable computing and technology, and issues related to 
on-body and worn mobile technologies. ISWC brings together researchers, 
product vendors, fashion designers, textile manufacturers, users,and 
related professionals to share information and advances in wearable 
computing. It is a venue to present research related to computing on the 
body: on-body sensing and sensor networks; wearables for professional 
use, mobile healthcare, or entertainment; wearability and interaction; 
and “on-the-go” uses of mobile devices and systems.

The conference program includes technical presentations, workshops, 
design exhibitions, demos, posters, and exciting talks by distinguished 
keynote speakers as well as social events

We invite you to join these co-located conferences where you will have 
the chance to meet with scholars, researches and industrial partners 
from all around the world.
Register now!

VENUE

The romantic town on the river Neckar whose “position and surroundings 
has, you might say, something quite ideal,” as Goethe himself said long ago.
Year after year, millions of people come from all over the world to 
Heidelberg. Its unique blend of the romantic, the academic and the 
cultural draws tourists and business travellers alike. This very special 
atmosphere has seen Heidelberg also develop into one of the most popular 
towns for conferences and congresses over the last few years.

Whether you want something historical, stylish, elegant, futuristic or 
more offbeat, Heidelberg can offer you premium venues with unique design 
concepts, all against an incredible backdrop: the Heidelberg trio of the 
river, the old town and the castle. Heidelberg is a popular conference 
and congress destination for event organisers from a number of different 
sectors – however, its real specialism is the academic world. In 
Heidelberg, town and gown are closely interwoven and have been for 
several hundred years – since Germany’s oldest university Ruperto Carola 
was first founded here in 1386. Today Heidelberg is considered a 
stronghold for Life Sciences; the university, the European Molecular 
Biology Laboratory, the German Cancer Research Centre and the Heidelberg 
Max Planck Institute are all amongst the best in the world for 
fundamental research.

The conference will be hosted at the flagship of the Heidelberg 
convention and congress locations: the Kongresshaus Stadthalle 
Heidelberg. With its sumptuous, late 19th century architecture and 
flashes of art nouveau brilliance, the Kongresshaus forms a stunning 
backdrop for conventions, congresses, balls, banquets, receptions, and 
concerts. While the Großer Saal with its broad sweeping gallery is the 
jewel in the crown, smaller rooms such as the Ballsaal or the 
Kammermusiksaal are also historical gems in their own right. The 
Kongresshaus is nowadays equipped with the latest audio, projection, 
lighting and communication technology.
