Full Papers

Papers should present original, unpublished research on handheld, mobile or ubiquitous computing. Potential areas of interest include applications, interfaces, devices and infrastructures for ubiquitous computing, as well as theory, methodology, empirical investigations, and experiences related to the design, implementation and deployment of ubiquitous computer systems.

All papers should make the case, in the paper itself, for how the work represents a significant contribution to the field of ubiquitous computing, highlighting how the work relates to previous research or experience and what aspects of the work are new. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field, quality of research, quality of writing and contribution to conference program diversity. All papers will be peer-reviewed by two members of the UbiComp 2003 program committee and by two additional members of the ubiquitous computing research community. Papers submitted to UbiComp 2003 must not be under simultaneous review for any other conference, journal or other publication.

Full papers should be no longer than 18 pages, including an abstract of no more than 100 words, all figures and references, and should be formatted according to the Springer-Verlag LNCS format. Accepted papers will be published in the UbiComp 2003 Proceedings and made available through digital libraries . Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the conference to present their work.

UbiComp 2003 submissions should be properly anonymized. Papers being submitted for review should not list the authors, affiliations or addresses on the first page -- to preserve formatting, it would be best to leave these sections blank. Author, affiliation and address information should still be filled out on the electronic form for submitting the paper, and final camera-ready copies should have this information included. Authors are also encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimize references that may reveal the identity of the authors or institutions.

UbiComp 2003 requires electronic submission. Reviewers will be instructed to maintain the confidentiality of all materials for submitted papers throughout the entire reviewing process. Submissions should contain no information that will be proprietary or confidential at the time of publication.
