This event consists of two international conferences, namely the International Conference on Awareness Science and Technology (iCAST2013), and the International Conference on Ubiquitous Multimedia (UMEDIA2013). iCAST2013has been evolved from IWAC2009 (International Workshop on Aware Computing, Aizuwakamatsu, Japan), ISAC2010 (International Symposium on Aware Computing, Tainan, Taiwan), iCAST2011 (Dalian, China), and iCAST2012 (Seoul, Korea).On the other hand, UMEDIA2013 has been evolved from UMEDIA2008 (Lanzhou, China), UMEDIA2009 (Taipei, Taiwan), UMEDIA2010 (Jinhua, China), UMEDIA2011 (San Paulo, Brazil), and UMEDIA2012 (Xining, China). All the past events were fruitful and successful and the results can be found on the existing websites.
This conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientists for discussing and exchanging ideas, opinions, and the latest results related to awareness science and technology, as well as ubi-media computing. The main purpose is to provide an opportunity for participants to integrate information, and obtain new ideas, new concepts, and new methodologies for realizing awareness in various computing machines, and for realizing more intelligent and more aware ubi-media systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

As a pioneer in the fied of awareness computing and ubi-media computing, this joint conference creates an opportunity for researchers (from both academic and/or industrial organization) to demonstrate their recent works (or prototypes). Propective attendees to this demonstration session are recommended to keep the updated schedule below and prepare the required materials for official preparation. Dtails can be found in the Call-for-Demonstration.
Each paper, which student is the first author, will be evaluated rigrously by the program committees. Evaluation process briefly include the quality of submitted manuscript and presentation on the venue. Top five will be rewarded with the "IEEE SMCS Japan Chapter Best Student Paper Award".
(NOTE)Students must become an IEEE SMCS student member before obtaining the award.
