Its goal is to put together scientists from different disciplines who study research problems related to mobility and ubiquity in computer systems. It constitutes a privileged moment of confrontation between multidisciplinary works and/or resulting from various disciplines (computer science, software ergonomics, usages), these works being theoretical and/or applied, academic or industrial. This year's conference will have a mobile games taste thanks to: * 2 invited speakers o Olivier Goguel (Lagard?re): "Developing games on mobiles: Heaven or hell?" (in French) The goal of this conference is to give an overview (market/production/technology/contents) of mobile games today, but also the evolutions which can be foreseen. More precisely we will try to answer to the following questions: + Market: The mobile market represents 500 millions users, hundreds of operators: Is it an opportunity or a nightmare? + Production: Development cycle of a mobile game, from design to deployment: Is the lawn more green on PC/Console? + Technology: Presentation of the technologies used today (java, brew, sms) and tomorrow (native, 3D, online, camera, gps, pr?sence?): What are the challenges (portability and accessibility)? + Contents: Reality of the productions currently present on the market versus new experiences to be created to have new users. + In conclusion: Is mobile the future of game? o Matthew Chalmers (Computing Science, University of Glasgow, UK) : "Ubicomp: From Theory to Play" Ubicomp systems have a history that extends back to the late 1980s, to work at Xerox PARC and EuroPARC. Researchers, in particular Mark Weiser, drew from much older theory and discourse in framing a new system design research agenda. Studying the strengths and the weaknesses in this conceptual work led us to explore new approaches to designing, analysing and understanding the use of ubicomp systems. Our vehicle for much of this research has been mobile multiplayer games, such as Treasure and Feeding Yoshi, and analysis tools such as Replayer. In giving an overview of this work, I hope to give some practical examples of how apparently contradictory opposites within ubicomp are interdependent and synergistic. * 2 workshops o "3D Contents for mobile games" (1/2 day), Marius Preda (INT) (in French) o "Developing a multiplayer game on mobile" (1 day), Romain Pellerin (CNAM/INT) and Franck Caron (CNAM) (in French) The goal of this workshop is to introduce the attendance to the use of Open Source GASP (http://gasp.objectweb.org), a platform for multiplayer games on mobile.
