CALL FOR PAPER

The theme of this workshop is to advance the theoretical understanding, algorithmic development and system implementations of ubiquitous computing systems that integrate physical knowledge with data-driven methods. The workshop will provide an inclusive gathering for researchers and practitioners from various fields and facilitate future collaborations. The overall goal is to grow the community who are dedicated to improving ubiquitous computing systems by fusing physical knowledge into data-driven methods. The workshop welcomes research papers as well as position papers.

The accepted paper will be published in the ACM Digital Library with the proceedings of UbiComp 2023.

The accepted papers may be selected for a fast-track submission to (1) Digital Signal Processing: A Review Journal; and (2) Intelligent and Converged Networks, with at least 30% contribution on novelty.
