THEME:

Leveraging from two successful workshops at ECSCW 2001 and CHI 2001 on Ad
hoc Communications and Ad hoc Collaboration, this workshop aims to
investigate the applications and the fundamental technologies required to
enable ad hoc communications and collaboration in Ubiquitous Computing
Environments. Ad hoc communications and collaboration is an area that
investigates computing technologies that facilitate spontaneous and
informal interactions among individuals. These types of interactions are
becoming increasingly frequent as the prevailing concept of personal
computing is shifting from desktops to networked mobile devices that are
linked to each other and the Internet at large by heterogeneous wireless
networks. In particular, the combination of personal mobile devices and
wireless ad hoc networks creates opportunities for new forms of mobile
collaboration involving interaction between people who are co-located and
organized in an unforeseeable ad hoc way. This includes face-to-face
collaboration, presence-based collaboration, and ad-hoc mobile teams.

The intention of this workshop it to bring together researchers from a
wide variety of disciplines such as CSCW, ubiquitous computing, pervasive
computing, mobile computing, wearable computing, distributed computing,
and wireless networking with the goal to discuss the design,
implementation, use, and evaluation of computing systems that facilitate
ad hoc communications and collaboration.

TOPICS OF INTEREST: 

Topics of interest for the workshop include, but not limited to:

Taxonomies of ad hoc applications
Support for informal communication
Spontaneous collaboration
Mobile and wearable communities
Service discovery in ad hoc interactions
Presence-based collaborative applications 
Context-based ad hoc networking
Security and privacy aspects 
Groupware for mobile ad hoc collaboration 
Mobile Peer-to-Peer computing
Collaboration in Personal Networks
Design and evaluation methods 
Ad hoc virtual teams
User privacy in ad hoc applications

Results of both theoretical and practical significance will be considered.
Papers that present work in progress/recent developments/research plans
are welcomed.
                              

PAPER SUBMISSIONS: We are planning are an electronic submission and review
process. The paper should follow the ACM SIGCHI Conference Publications
Format located at http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigchi/chipubform/ The paper
must not exceed 10 pages in length. Please submit papers using the PDF
format. E-mail manuscript to: Ramiro_Liscano@mitel.com or
