Workshop Discussion (2:30-5:30 PM)   Discussions** 3:30-4:00 Coffee Break   Discussions**

 

** Possible discussion topics:

• Ubicomp research retrospective.
  - Is ubicomp research over?
  - Are we going over the same topics over and over again?
  - Has ubicomp turned into a solution looking for a problem?
  - How do we take Ubicomp outside of the lab?

• If we are to standardize/ adopt ubicomp middleware, then what are the barriers to its adoption?

• Is context-awareness essential to ubiquitous computing?

• What are the top "n" systems challenges in ubicomp.

• Is ubicomp mature enough to identify common research areas (similar to OSes with process management, IPC, cache management, power management, etc.)
