Abstract:
Information and communication technology (ICT) changed a great deal of our living environment. We can notice a number of evolutionary alterations in many aspects of our daily lives. For example, people located in the different part of the world can be connected and in contact using telecommunication technology. Due to advances of mobile technology, content, and service, we can also be online anytime and anywhere. We can expect that our lifestyle will be more significantly influenced and transformed by advances in ICT in the near future.
A table plays an important role in our daily lives. When people gather for meeting, dining, drinking, and so on, table can be effectively utilized. Tabletop and interactive surface technologies can be applied to enhance a table by integrating ICT and the furniture. Many ICT innovations have been practiced in the research of attaching new and useful functionalities to a table in various application areas, such as home appliances, educational equipments, business tools, entertainments, etc.
Though there have been quite amount of technical progresses in hardware, software, interaction, contents, and applications of tabletop and interactive surface technologies, many interesting research issues still remain. Researchers have focused on improving quality of input and output devices, gesture recognition, multi‐modal interactions, and so on. Our research group tries to enhance functionality of tabletop interfaces by reducing the thickness of a tabletop display and increasing its resolution. We also endeavor to integrate multi‐modal interaction methods such as tangible user interfaces, haptic interfaces, pen‐based interfaces, and so on. Development of middleware for various multi‐touch tabletop interfaces and its standardization are to be pursued through cooperation with RheinMain University.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Future living environments will benefit greatly from the development of algorithms and systems that offer secure and transparent communication relying on adaptive, self-integrating IT-systems. With communication, we denote the communication between technical systems as well as the communication between information and communication technology (ICT) and residents in private living quarters. For meeting the challenges inherent in this research area, competencies in various disciplines of computer science are required ranging from embedded systems, telecommunication, computational theory, cryptography, computer graphics and computer vision to artificial intelligence.
The 2010 Workshop on Self-Integrating Systems for Better Living Environments (supported by the Information Technology Society of the Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies VDE and the Gesellschaft für Informatik GI) brings together researchers from various disciplines of computer science who work in the area of enhancing private living environments with information and communication technologies. Focus points are self-organization, informational self-determination and human computer interaction.
The workshop is organized by the SENSYBLE doctoral college, a common research initiative by the Computer Science and Mathematics department of the Goethe-University, Frankfurt am Main and the department of Design, Computer Science, Media of the RheinMain University of Applied Sciences.
Submission and Templates
We encourage submissions on (but not limited to) the following topic areas as they relate to self-integrating systems for better living environments:
- Self-X properties (self-organization, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection)
- Self-integrating and autonomous systems
- Cryptography for authenticity, integrity and anonymity in open ad-hoc and sensor networks
- Secure embedded systems
- Multisensor user interfaces
- Evolution of user interfaces
- Computer-mediated communication in private environments
- Visualization of aspects of self-organizing systems
- Middleware for context-sensitive, adaptive systems
- Engineering of distributed self-organizing systems
- Applications, e.g. intelligent assistive systems for health care
We invite workshop contributions in a two stage process. First, a one page abstract (in PDF) up to 3000 characters must be submitted. It will be reviewed by the program committee. All selected submissions will be presented at SENSYBLE 2010. If selected, authors will also be invited to submit a full paper (up to 9 pages). The full paper will be peer reviewed by the program committee. All accepted full papers will appear in the workshop proceedings (with ISSN).
Abstracts and full papers must be submitted as a single PDF file in a specific format via mail to steffen.reith AT hs-rm.de
