The field of ubiquitous computing
was inspired by Mark Weiser's vision of computing artifacts that disappear.
"They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are
indistinguishable from it." Although Weiser cautioned that achieving the vision
of ubiquitous computing would require a new way of thinking about computers,
that takes into account the natural human environment, to date no one has
articulated this new way of thinking. Here, we address this gap, making the
argument that ubiquitous computing artifacts need to be physically and
cognitively available. We show what this means in practice, translating our
conceptual findings into principles for design. Examples and a specific
application scenario show how ubiquitous computing that depends on these
principles is both physically and cognitively available, seamlessly supporting
living.

UBICC would like to participate in the "Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing conference and workshop” and want to give its services. We would like to publish the selected papers from the conference in our journal with the special issue as of the conference. Consequently I would like to request the authorities to allow UBICC Journal for its contribution.
