The Second Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in Mobile Systems
(AIMS 2001)
Seattle, Washington, USA
August 4 2001
(In conjunction with IJCAI 2001)
Today's information technology is rapidly moving small-computerized
consumer devices and hi-tech personal appliances from the desks of
research labs into the shelves of mass markets and our daily life. Low
performance PDAs, embedded computers in cameras, cars, or mobile
phones, and high performance wearable computers will become essential
in professional and private use.
These systems require new interaction metaphors and methods of
control: Widespread interaction devices such as mouse and keyboard are
often not available, which makes classical user interfaces based on
them inappropriate. Resources such as electric power supply or
networking bandwidth may be limited or unreliable depending on time
and location. Moreover, the rapid changing of physical environment and
context must also be taken into account appropriately. In the future
the focus will shift from single users using single services on single
artifacts towards groups of users collaborating using a combination of
different services in physical spaces equipped with personal as well
as public dynamically configured artifacts (ubiquitous computing or
ambient technology).
Therefore, the main challenge for the success of mobile systems is the
design of smart user interfaces as well as software that allows
ubiquitous and easy access to personal information and that is
flexible enough to handle changes in both user context and
availability of resources. Artificial intelligence (AI) has
investigated the problems of making user interfaces smart and
cooperative since many years and is now attacking the challenges of
explicitly dealing with limited resources. AI methods provide a range
of solutions for those problems and currently seem to be the most
promising approach for building location and situation aware mobile
systems that support users at their best, while behaving cooperatively
in unobtrusive ways.
The AIMS 2001 workshop intends to bring together researchers working
in the sub-fields of AI described above and those working with the
design of mobile applications and devices (both wearable and
environmental).
The workshop will interleave technical presentations with extensive
time for discussion. Each accepted presentation will be followed by a
lively and informed discussion led by a commentator assigned from the
workshop organization from amongst the attendees. In addition to
technical presentation, the workshop will include invited talks,
application and device demonstrations, and a panel discussion session.
Workshop Scope
==============
Issues addressed in AIMS 2001 include, but are not restricted to:
* location awareness
* context awareness
* interaction metaphors and interaction devices
for mobile and ubiquitous systems
* smart user interfaces for mobile and ubiquitous systems
* situation adapted user interfaces
* software adaptation to limited resources
* fault tolerance
* service discovery, service description languages and standards
Submission
==========
We will accept paper submissions for both technical presentations and
demonstrations. Accepted papers will be published in a Workshop
Proceedings. The best papers will be sent for publishing to
journals. Paper submissions should be sent electronically in
Postscript or Portable Document Format (PDF) to Rainer Malaka
(Rainer.Malaka@e .................). No submissions should exceed six
pages.
Important Dates
===============
* March 20, 2001: Deadline for paper submission
* April 12, 2001: Acceptance notification
* April 30, 2001: Deadline for camera-ready version
* August 4, 2001: AIMS 2001 workshop
Registration
============
AIMS 2001 will be a workshop with a limited audience. Participation
may be limited to contributors only. If you plan to participate,
please consider a paper submission.
Workshop delegates must register for the main conference IJCAI 2001
(http://www.boeing.com/nosearch/ijcai). Hence, registration for
workshops is through the main registration for IJCAI 2001. Information
on workshop fees will follow soon together with information on the
IJCAI 2001 general conference fees.
