The digital world of the Grid meets the physical world through a variety of sensors, instruments and interfaces. The e-Science programme has increasingly become aware of the need to focus on this digital-physical interface of the grid, and the ubiquitous computing community is beginning to look towards the Grid for aspects of processing, data handling and access (for example, in sensor networks). There is also interest in applying infrastructure and middleware techniques across these distributed computing domains. The objective of this workshop, which is jointly organised by the e-Science and UK UbiNet communities, is to bring together researchers and practitioners across these fields and identify the research agendas in ubiquitous computing and e-Research. As well as bringing people together and sharing results, requirements and issues, we intend that the workshop will provide a basis to discuss mechanisms for taking this research forward.
For more information, including the call for position papers please see http://www.semanticgrid.org/ubinesc.html
Members of the ubiquitous/pervasive computing and e-Science research, development and user communities who have an interest in the application of ubiquitous computing to e-Science applications, grid computing to ubiquitous applications (e.g. sensor networks), grid computation over networks of devices, or any other area which draws on both ubiquitous computing and e-Research.
This is a two day event running from late morning on 18th through lunchtime on the 19th.
