UbiComp / ISWC 2023
Call for IMWUT Papers

UbiComp / ISWC is a premier interdisciplinary venue 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.

UbiComp / ISWC 2023 will be held from 8th to 12th October, and as in past years will feature work from both UbiComp and ISWC (with a single registration fee).

Publication Model

UbiComp / ISWC will invite for presentation papers published by the Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies (IMWUT). IMWUT has 1 volume per year with 4 issues per volume, published in March (Issue 1), June (Issue 2), September (Issue 3), and December 1 (Issue 4).

The UbiComp / ISWC 2023 main technical tracks will consist of papers in IMWUT 2022 Issue 4 and IMWUT 2023 Issues 1-3.

The conference will retain its workshop, poster, and demo tracks, as well as a dedicated ISWC Briefs and Notes track, which will have their own publication outlet,
