>Today's information technology is rapidly moving small computerised
>consumer devices and hi-tech personal appliances from the desks of
>research labs onto sales shelves and into our daily life. These
>include low performance PDAs, embedded computers
>in cameras, cars, or mobile phones, as well as
>high performance wearable computers and tablet
>PCs. Many of these devices are becoming
>essential tools that we rely on increasingly
>both in private and in professional settings.
>In addition, a growing number of locations are

>networking access. This combination may
>facilitate solving daily tasks and may enable
>new applications but also poses new challenges
>for HCI.

>For example, in order to use these systems new interaction metaphors and
>methods of control may be required. Well-known interaction devices, such as
>mouse and keyboard are oftentimes unfeasible or even unavailable, thus
>rendering user interfaces that rely on them inappropriate. Other
>resources such as power or networking bandwidth may also be limited or
>unreliable depending on time and location. Moreover, the physical
>environment and context can change rapidly throughout the interaction
>with mobile systems and must be taken into account appropriately.
>Spatial and temporal relationships between devices and users are
>continuously changing as well and may be a key factor to be considered
>when interacting with a mobile system or a ubiquitous infrastructure.

>In addition, we can expect a shift from single users towards groups,
>from single applications to multiple concurrent services, and from
>strictly personal to (semi-)public artefacts that can be configured
>dynamically. The resulting complexity needs to
>be addressed on all levels but especially on the
>interface level: intelligent interfaces
>need to hide (or expose properly) underlying resource restrictions,
>consistency has to be maintained when moving an interface from one
>device to another, and system may need to plan
>ahead to ensure required interaction means are
>available when needed. Within the field of
>Artificial Intelligence, several of these
>problems have been investigated for many years
>(such as how to make user interfaces more
>adaptive or how to deal with limited technical
>or cognitive resources). Therefore, AI
>mechanisms are promising tools for the

>The AIMS 2005 workshop intends to bring together researchers
>working in various areas of (applied) AI as well
>as in HCI. The workshop aims to explore recent
>research and findings in AI, the generation and
>control of adaptive user interfaces for mobile
>systems and their integration in ubiquitous
>computing environments. The main objective of
>the workshop is a lively discussion and exchange
>of ideas. The scope of interest includes but is
>not limited to the following items (in no
>particular order):
>
>- mechanisms for location and context awareness (e.g. knowledge-based
> acquisition of contextual information, inference of location)
>- spatio-temporal issues and methods in mobile and ubiquitous
> interfaces (e.g. correlation between spatial abstractions and
> different interface modalities)
>- interaction metaphors and novel interaction devices for mobile and
> ubiquitous systems (e.g. principles of interface adaptation)
>- multi-modal interfaces for mobile and ubiquitous systems
>- user interfaces that adapt to the current situation as well as
> to resource availability (e.g. modelling the
>trade-offs between reasoning capabilities,
>resource consumption and real-time constraints)
>- plan-based approaches for interaction and adaptation
>- mechanisms for maintaining interface consistency over multiple
> devices - toolkits for the development of mobile and ubiquitous user
> interfaces
>
>We encourage submissions from researchers and practitioners in
>academia, industry, government, and consulting. Students, researchers
>and practitioners are invited to submit papers (up to 6 pages)
>describing original, novel, and inspirational work. All submissions
>will be reviewed by an international group of researchers and
>practitioners. Submissions should be sent by July 1, 2005 to
>Chris Kray (kray [at] comp.lancs.ac.uk).
