We are interested in various aspects of pervasive computing; in particular our focus is on systems, user interfaces and novel applications. Small and yet powerful processors, wireless communication, new sensors and computer controlled actuators all ubiquitous embedding and integration of information technology into our world. We see a clear trend towards embedding distributed and networked computers into environments, cars, cloths, furniture and everyday objects which results in new functions and novel applications.

In our research and in teaching we investigate and develop modern computer systems, new input and output devices and innovative applications pervasive computing applications. We focus on computing beyond the desktop and we see a great challenge in creating effective, efficient and pleasant ways for humans to interact with complex information environments. We follow an experimental research approach, where we invent, develop and evaluate novel computing systems and applications.

The following list shows the major topics we are interested in:

• user interfaces for mobile devices and phones
• human computer interaction in the automotive context, in-car user interfaces
• sensors and actuators for user interfaces
• location and context-aware information systems
• interaction with tangible and embedded systems
• methods and tools for developing pervasive interactive systems
• evaluation of ubiquitous computing systems (beyond the lab)
• modelling complex interactive systems
• applications of sensor- and actuator networks
• wearable computing
• mobile interactive systems and applications
