CALL FOR PAPERS

[Scope]

Ambient media and systems culminate from the emergence of mobile 
communications, sensor-actuator technology, virtual environments, and 
interactive computing. They represent the vision of an all-encompassing 
multimedia networking environment with human interaction at its core. 
Advances in computer and communication technologies have the potential 
to offer people an unprecedented level of convenience and flexibility 
for living and working. Such technologies need to be closely integrated 
with human interactions and activity, allowing greater support for smart 
solutions that improve quality of life, productivity, understanding and 
intelligence within their situated environment. Ambi-sys focuses on 
emerging technologies, services and solutions for new, human-centric 
intelligent ambient environments.
The conference will explore such techniques, and aims to serve as a 
premier international forum for discussions, bringing together academic 
and industrial researchers, practitioners, and students interested in 
future techniques relating to the emergence of mobile communications, 
sensor-actuator technology, virtual environments, and interactive 
computing, networking, technologies, systems, and applications.

[Topics]

The conference will consist of the following major areas or tracks:

- Communications and Networking, which will be covering Wireless 
communications, Heterogeneous and Body Area networks, Ambient sensors,
