HomeSys 2014

Abstract

HomeSys 2014 will provide an insightful and constructive setting for the growing community of researchers studying ubiquitous technology in domestic spaces. Homes have been a consistent setting for ubiquitous computing research and development. This continues to evolve, reflecting the spread of computing into ever more of the fabric of our everyday lives. Inspired by the success of HomeSys at previous UbiComp conferences, a new organising team will arrange a balance of presentations, panel and whole room discussions, and an interactive session to explore the challenges currently facing ubiquitous computing in the home. Through this, HomeSys can continue to support reflection and development in home-based ubiquitous computing research across disciplines, act as a companion to the main UbiComp conference, strengthen existing networks, and produce new collaborations and outcomes
