Ubiquitous Computing
Media Informatics Advanced Seminar, Summer Term 2011 (bib)

This report provides an overview of current applications and research trends in the field of ubiquitous computing. There are various applications domains ranging from haptic interfaces, interactive surfaces, mobile devices to ambient information.
During the summer term 2011, students from the Computer Science Department at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich did research on specific topics related to ubiquitous computing and analyzed various publications. This report comprises a selection of papers that resulted from the seminar.
Each chapter presents a survey of current trends, developments, and research with regard to a specific topic. Although the students' background is computer science, their work includes interdisciplinary viewpoints such as theories, methods, and findings from interaction design, ergonomics, hardware design and many more. Therefore, the report is targeted at anyone who is interested in the various facets of ubiquitous computing.
