General information

Current week


This quarter, we are expanding the FCE Seminar to two days to include the FCE-sponsored HackFest activities. On Tuesdays, we will have the usual seminar and reading group with discussion. Thursdays will be devoted to on-going and quarter-long projects in ubiquitous computing.

The general focus for this quarter will be reaching out to other parts of the Georgia Tech campus. There is a lot of relevant activity on campus that can enhance the vision of the Future Computing Environments Group. We are going to try this quarter to find out more about those other campus groups to encourage us to take better advantage of the facilities and skills within our immediate environment. The hope is that this quarter will lead to a number of collaborations with folks across campus helping us to make Georgia Tech a center for ubiquitous and future computing environments.
