The purpose of the summer school is to provide young researchers with an 
opportunity to gain deeper insight to the multidisciplinary fields of 
ubiquitous and urban computing, to stimulate international R&D 
networking and to promote the UBI-challenge.

The summer school comprises of six parallel workshops:

A: Real World Context-Aware Systems
by Professor Anind Dey, Carnegie Mellon University, USA

B: Urban Informatics and Sustainable Cities
by Associate Professor Marcus Foth, Queensland University of Technology, 
Australia

C: Urban Social Networks Analysis
by Professor Vassilis Kostakos, University of Madeira, Portugal

D: Creating and Sharing Artistic Experiences with Ubiquitous Technology
by Jürgen Scheible, Aalto University, Finland

E: IP-based Wireless Sensor Networks
by CTO Zach Shelby, Sensinode, Finland

F: Interactive Textures – rethinking materiality
by Professor Mikael Wiberg, Umeå University, Sweden


How to apply:

The number of students accepted for each workshop is limited. Therefore, 
prospective young researchers should email by Apr 19, 2010 to Professor 
Timo Ojala (timo.ojala at ee.oulu.fi) a one page statement (PDF), which 
contains your contact information, a brief description of your research 
interests in ubiquitous and/or urban computing, a brief desciprtion of 
your motivation to attend the summer school, and a ranked list of the 
workshop(s) you would be interested in attending. If you are accepted to 
the summer school, then you will work in one particular workshop for the 
whole week. For example, if you wish to first attend workshop E but in 
case it would not be available you would also consider attending 
workshop B, then please state "my preferred workshops: E B" in your 
statement.
