These histories reside in multiple fields, from computer science and informatics, to history of science and STS, to design and urban planning—to name a few—as well as ubicomp’s new instantiations, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, the architecture of the cloud, and mobile computing. </span></div><br class=""><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For this special issue, topics include but are not limited to:</span></div><ul class="" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li dir="ltr" class="" style="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Histories of ubiquitous computing technologies</span></div></li><li dir="ltr" class="" style="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Studies and histories of corporations, individuals and organizations influential in the growth of ubiquitous computing</span></div></li><li dir="ltr" class="" style="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The influence of ubiquitous computing technologies</span></div></li><li dir="ltr" class="" style="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Studies of networks of ubicomp researchers</span></div></li><li dir="ltr" class="" style="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Comparative, historical studies of ubicomp applications & environments</span></div></li><li dir="ltr" class="" style="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lesser known players in the field of ubicomp</span></div></li><li dir="ltr" class="" style="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Histories of information environments</span></div></li><li dir="ltr" class="" style="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ubicomp in architecture and urbanism</span></div></li><li dir="ltr" class="" style="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ubicomp and user experience</span></div></li><li dir="ltr" class="" style="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ubicomp and art </span></div></li><li dir="ltr" class="" style="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ubicomp and critical design </span></div></li><li dir="ltr" class="" style="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ubicomp and cybernetics</span></div></li><li dir="ltr" class="" style="list-style-type: disc; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ubicomp, gender and diversity</span></div></li></ul><br class=""><div class="" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
