UBICOMP

UBICOMP was founded in Jan 2016, when University of Oulu's organizational structure was changed so that faculties comprised of so-called research units instead of departments. The research units were required to be of a certain minimum size to be sustainable. Hence, three professors from the former department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) joined their research groups - Vassilis Kostakos (COMAG, Community Imaging Group), Timo Ojala (UCC, Urban Computing and Cultures) and Jukka Riekki (iSpaces, Interactive Spaces) - into the Center for Ubiquitous Computing (UBICOMP). Prof. V. Kostakos volunteered to serve as the first RUL (Research Unit Leader)... Today we are delighted to introduce our university and research to the U.S. Ambassador to Finland Douglas Hickey... We are UBICOMP at the University of Oulu, Finland. Our center is one of the largest HCI, Ubiquitous Computing, Artificial Intelligence hubs in Europe.
