About IJUC


The any place/any time/any means vision of ubiquitous computing has explosive impact on academics, industry, government and daily life. Following ubiquitous computers and networks, is a road towards ubiquitous intelligence, i.e., computational intelligence pervasion in both the physical world and the cyber world. Such right place/right time/right means vision of ubiquitous intelligence will greatly reform our world to create a smart world filled with a variety of embedded intelligence or smart real and virtual things ranging from software to hardware, from man-made artifacts to natural objects, from everyday appliances to sophisticated systems, etc.

About IJEG

Ergonomics concerns the optimum design of products, jobs and systems in relation to human beings. The original purpose of ergonomics was to enhance both the efficiency and well-being of the workforce. These days it applies to the efficiency and welding of human beings in all areas of life - from the factory floor to the home, from the airport terminal to the country road. The International Journal of Ergonomics (IJEG) is a peer reviewed journal; intended to be an outlet for theoretical and empirical research contributions from scholars and practitioners, concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system.

DIASPORAS IN DIALOGUE

The Program in African American Studies at the University in Texas at El Paso invites articles on the intersection between Activism, Scholarship, and Creative Writing in works by women in the African Diaspora, as well as on the relationship between the work of African diasporic women and women from other diasporas, such as Mexican, Filipina, Haitian, and Chinese migrant communities in the United States and beyond.

The editors of this collection are interested in the ways diasporic women writers, scholars, and activists conceptualize diasporic identities and negotiate multiple diasporic alliances in their creative work, research, teaching, and daily lives.

SCMLA will be held October 28-30, 2010, in Fort Worth, TX. Visit the conference web site at http://www.ou.edu/scmla/.

War, Literature, & the Arts panel:

This panel invites papers on (new) frontiers in war and the arts. Is the frontier myth still relevant to the war genre? What new textual frontiers such as blogs and web videos are veterans and critics exploring? What new theoretical or methodological approaches are being taken to the war genre? How is the new frontier of women in combat reshaping the war zone and the American military?

Abstracts/Proposals due March 26, 2010.

This special session of the PAMLA explores any intersection of literary studies and the discipline of psychology (not psychoanalysis), such as literary applications of memory theory, trauma theory, child psychology, psychopathology, affect, emotion, the psychology of reading, theories of perception, theories of imagination, cognitive poetics, or cognitive approaches to narrative theory.

PAMLA (Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association) is the western regional affiliate of MLA. The 2010 conference will take place November 13-14 at Chaminade University, Honolulu, Hawaii. Submit proposals online by April 5 at http://www.pamla.org/2010
