Anybody going to UbiComp?

Is anyone going to be at UbiComp (ubiquitous computing) in Irvine, CA this year? For those of you who don't know it's a great conference, which in part addresses devices such as mobile computers that are imbedded into our environment and social networks. You can still register if you want to come hear some interesting talks.

I will be in a cool workshop run by Johanna Brewer on transitional spaces (like doorways and freeway onramps) which I'm looking forward to. I'll also be in a two day workshop on urban computing run by the good folks at Intel, and as part of that I'll give a short talk entitled 'The Third Way of Empowering Urban Social Systems' which addresses ubicomp development methods and mobile community devices. (I'll get this online ASAP). And I'll also be giving a talk with Stephen Viller about our full paper 'Lo-Fi Matchmaking: A Study of Social Pairing for Backpackers' (see my publication list on this site for a pre-print of this).

If you would like to meet up when I'm there, please send me an e-mail.
