Abstract

This paper provides an overview of several approaches, methods and techniques, of ubiquitous and collaborative computing, discussed in the papers submitted to the International Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing (iUBICOM-09). In this workshop, we aimed to balance discussion of technological factors with human aspects in order to explore implications for better design. The theme was information retrieval, decision making processes, and user needs in the context of ubiquitous computing. This paper includes work carried out on different dimensions focusing on technological as well as social aspects of ubiquitous and collaborative computing.
