The 2011 IEEE International Workshop on Ubiquitous Media and Embedded System (UMES 2011)

Busan, Korea, 26th-28th May, 2011

http://cse.stfx.ca/~UMES2011/index.html
********************************************************************************************

In conjunction with the 2011 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing and Application (ISPA2011)



====================
Introduction
====================
Today with the fast developments in electronics industry and the amazing growing of the potential customers,
media are increasingly ubiquitous: more and more people live in a world of Internet pop-ups and streaming television,
mobile phone texting and video clips, MP3 players and pod-casting. These ubiquitous media creates our consumer and brand environment
and has been contributing extensively and more closed to our life experience, especially its applications in mobile and other embedded devices.
Therefore, the media, embedded and especially their emergence technologies have become the art-to-state research topics and are expected to be
the important roles of human life in the future.
The 2011 IEEE International Workshop on Ubiquitous Media and Embedded Systems(UMES 2011) will address the broad challenges of integrating
Ubiquitous Media technologies into everyday objects, devices and activities with ubiquitous computing and embedded systems.

Submission Guidelines
======================
UMES2011 will seek original papers and experience reports. All papers and reports should be written in English conforming to the
IEEE standard conference (8.5"*11",Two-Column) as shown in [IEEE Proceedings Format].
All the submissions should be submitted by using Online Paper Submission System within 8 pages.
The workshop proceeding will be published by IEEE Computer Society (will be indexed by EI Compendex & ISTP)

======================
Publications
======================
Every submitted paper will be carefully reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. All accepted and presented papers
will be included in the conference proceedings published by IEEE. Authors should submit a paper at most 8 pages in length with IEEE CS
format by using online systems for review. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, if the paper be accepted,
at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference.

======================
Best Paper Award
======================
One best paper award, selected by the organizing committee, based on referee reviews, will be presented to the author(s) of the best paper
submitted to the conference along with other awards presented during the social event.
