Street Computing

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: PDF (119 Kb)

SYNOPSIS

The urban street is bathed in a sea of data, and augmented by numerous computational components: mobile phones, weather sensors, digital bus timetables, surveillance cameras and so on. In this workshop, we want to explore the research opportunities that exist for enabling ordinary people to harness these heterogeneous computing elements to create meaningful tools for themselves, their friends and their colleagues. The authors of the paper and presentation that elicits most discussion will receive the “Telstra Most Interesting Paper” award, the prize for which is a Nokia E51 phone.
