<br>
The ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous
Computing (UbiComp) is the result of a merger of the two most
renowned conferences in the field: Pervasive and UbiComp. While it
retains the name ofthe latter in recognition of the visionary work
of Mark Weiser, its long name reflects the dual history of the new
event. UbiComp is a premier interdisciplinary venue conference in
which leading international researchers, designers, developers, and
practitioners in the field present and discuss novel results in all
aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing. This includes the
design, development, and deployment of ubiquitous and pervasive
computing technologies and the understanding of human experiences
and social impacts that these technologies facilitate.<br>
<br>
The International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC) is the
premier event for wearable computing and technology, and issues
related to on-body and worn mobile technologies. ISWC brings
together researchers, product vendors, fashion designers, textile
manufacturers, users,and related professionals to share information
and advances in wearable computing. It is a venue to present
research related to computing on the body: on-body sensing and
sensor networks; wearables for professional use, mobile healthcare,
or entertainment; wearability and interaction; and “on-the-go” uses
of mobile devices and systems.<br>
<br>
The conference program includes technical presentations, workshops,
design exhibitions, demos, posters, and exciting talks by
distinguished keynote speakers as well as social events<br>
<br>
We invite you to join these co-located conferences where you will
have the chance to meet with scholars, researches and industrial
partners from all around the world. <br>

VENUE<br>
<br>
The romantic town on the river Neckar whose “position and
surroundings has, you might say, something quite ideal,” as Goethe
himself said long ago.<br>
Year after year, millions of people come from all over the world to
Heidelberg. Its unique blend of the romantic, the academic and the
cultural draws tourists and business travellers alike. This very
special atmosphere has seen Heidelberg also develop into one of the
most popular towns for conferences and congresses over the last few
years.<br>
<br>
Whether you want something historical, stylish, elegant, futuristic
or more offbeat, Heidelberg can offer you premium venues with unique
design concepts, all against an incredible backdrop: the Heidelberg
trio of the river, the old town and the castle. Heidelberg is a
popular conference and congress destination for event organisers
from a number of different sectors – however, its real specialism is
the academic world. In Heidelberg, town and gown are closely
interwoven and have been for several hundred years – since Germany’s
oldest university Ruperto Carola was first founded here in 1386.
Today Heidelberg is considered a stronghold for Life Sciences; the
university, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, the German
Cancer Research Centre and the Heidelberg Max Planck Institute are
all amongst the best in the world for fundamental research.<br>
<br>
The conference will be hosted at the flagship of the Heidelberg
convention and congress locations: the Kongresshaus Stadthalle
Heidelberg. With its sumptuous, late 19th century architecture and
flashes of art nouveau brilliance, the Kongresshaus forms a stunning
backdrop for conventions, congresses, balls, banquets, receptions,
and concerts. While the Großer Saal with its broad sweeping gallery
is the jewel in the crown, smaller rooms such as the Ballsaal or the
Kammermusiksaal are also historical gems in their own right. The
Kongresshaus is nowadays equipped with the latest audio, projection,
lighting and communication technology.<br>
