Welcome to Ubi-Media 2026

Events in the cyberspace can be modeled as a spatiotemporal continuity populated by computing devices, communication channels, and multimodal interactions. Contemporary ubiquitous devices unleash the boundary of one-to-one human-computer interaction. E.g., it has become a de facto style of facilitating social events that participants use several distributed devices through multimodal interaction. How people access multimodal media in different context is an interesting yet challenging problem. Ubi-media Computing, as it is bravely defined, brings together technologies for location/context adaptation, inter-device interaction/reaction, and media/data communication. In line with the blooming technologies realizing the above concepts, this international conference looks at the state-of-the-art and original research issues to be published in the proceedings. New contributions include three perspectives: devices that realize ubiquitous computing, multimodal interactions between human and these ubiquitous devices, and the need of adaptive multimedia.

The conference proceedings will be published by CCIS, with best papers recommended for publication in special issues of international journals. Topics of interests include but not limit to the following:

SUBMISSION DETAILS:

Submissions should represent original, substantive research results. We will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under review for or has already been published (or accepted) for publication in another conference or journal. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published by Springer as a Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series volume.

Paper Length: Each paper should have at least 6 pages, no longer than 16 pages, including figures, tables and references.
