fieldwork environment present to computer-based applications.
Topics will include, but will not be limited to:
- Current trends in hand-held data collection and information access.
- Supporting collaborative fieldwork by teams of researchers.
- Context-Awareness and Environment-Mediated Communication.
- Communications and ad hoc networking in the field.
- New technologies for capturing and monitoring environmental and contextual information.
