==============================================================================

NUMA 2014 - THE award for pervasive, ubiquitous, ambient technologies, media, services, user experience,
concepts, and applications. We refurbished the competition for 2014 after having received over 220
competition entries over the past seven years. We want to integrate all the latest trends in the world
of smart media, as we want to see incredible re-interpretations of the original notion of ubimedia,
pervasive media, and ambient media. Any new fresh idea is welcome in this area! The vision of ubimedia
today spreads in smart city concepts, smart cards, and smart phones - and starts to become mainstream -
there are still many more exciting, seamless, and unobtrusive experiences that need to be discovered.
We still seek for cutting edge tech innovations, and look for makers that single-handedly engineer
fascinating new ubimedia services and devices on a shoestring budget. We welcome all ubimedia masterminds,
pervasive computation enthusiasts, and ambient intelligent researchers to participate in writing the
next chapter for the most innovative, inspiring, and sometimes slightly mad competition in ubimedia's
history and seek projects, applications, services, technological solutions, concepts, or new media
environment as competition entry. Note, there will be also a price sum giving to the very best three
entries.

Possible themes, topics, and areas where your application could contribute to:
- smart environments (smart cars, smart houses, smart devices, smart cities)
- cyber, social, and physical computing
- human computer interaction in the era of ubiquitous computation
- smart robots, interaction with robots, and robotic applications
- new interaction devices (Google glasses, Pebble, ?)
- big data concepts for pervasive computation
- the ?quantified? self and the digital human
- sensor data, context awareness, and intelligence
- mobile phone applications, NFC technologies, and embedded systems (e.g. Arduino)
- wearable technologies, smart watches, smart glasses, and smart gadgets
- cyber physical systems (CPS)
- urban informatics and smart transportation
- security and safety of environments

- information systems and management in smart environments
- entertainment applications (e.g. pervasive games, ambient television, ...)
- artisic works, apps, and creative designs
- ergonomics, human-computer interaction designs, and consumer experience
- software, hardware, and middleware frameworks

NUMA is looking for your bold, irritating and mind-opening ideas, no matter if you are a student,
seasoned researcher, entrepreneur or artist. Whether thesis, project or product - our only condition
is: you must be able to demo it, otherwise you are out! You will have to prove your idea with a working
prototype, and if you are nominated you will need to demonstrate your work during MindTrek. As we are a
cross-disciplinary competition, we created the following categories, to cope with all the latest trends:

- ?NUMA-TEC? - You have been pushing the boundaries of sensors and ubiquitous computing or invented
some incredible new pervasive hardware? This award focuses on advances in ?Technology?.

- ?NUMA-KERS? - You have mastered the odds of physical computing and rapid prototyping and want to expose
your devices beyond the maker community? This award focuses on the community of ?Makers?.

- ?NUMA-UX? - You are an interaction, experience designer, or artist and have gone where no content
has been seen before? This award focuses on the ?Experience?.

- ?NUMA-CONTENT? - You are a content creator, application developer, designer, artist, game designer,
or new media developer? This award focuses on new ambient, ubiquitous, and pervasive content.

NUMA 2014 gives all of you the chance to show your work to an interdisciplinary international jury and
win a the award! Winners will also be invited to become part of the great MindTrek 2014 event and
community with travel costs covered.

In the context of eMedia and creative industry: information systems, information management, knowledge management,
decision management, workflow management, electronic media, IT systems, human factors of IT systems, management
technology, digital services, big data, open data, linked data

According to Gartner published in Techcrunch, communications media and services are the 3rd largest IT systems spenders with
a yearly growth rate of 4.4% with a share of approx. $4 billion in 2011, after banking & securities and manufacturing &
natural resources [1]. For example, the TV industry was faced with tremendous change in technologies during the past decade,
such as the digital switchover, the introduction of HDTV, or the provision of 3D content. Large scale asset repositories
and different workflows in the content production process had to be introduced. Other media industries faced similar
challenges, as the emergence of digital publishing, digital content distribution, or advancement of in-house customer
relationship management infrastructures, and the digitalization of workflows.

This change towards digital implies a more holistic view of information systems and management in media industries to provide
optimal system solutions, and eventually cut costs. Where other industries are well researched in terms of their IT system
solutions, in media industries the discussion around content repositories, media management solutions, and digital workflows
seems to be predominant. Within the context of this publication, a more holistic view towards information systems and
management in media industries shall be introduced, and emphasize the importance of research of business information
management and systems in media industries.

The media and entertainment industry is the third largest industry segment for investments in information systems. And this
particular industry segment is faced with tremendous challenges in terms of organizational, transformational, leadership,
customer behaviour, and technological changes. One particular challenge is the transformation of the analogue media world
into its digital counterpart. As of today, the successive research of business information management and systems focusing on
media and entertainment industries is rather fragmented and stretches over a wide area of research islands such as social
media, eCommerce, or eBusiness.

To face this challenge, this book focuses on information management and systems for media and entertainment industries and
highlighting their particular needs in production, distribution, and consumption. The book shall gather a scientific community
around the theme of business information management and systems in the larger context of media and entertainment
industries.

Special Focus on the Notion NEW approaches of Content and Media in Information Systems & Management Applications in
Particular in Application Areas as: Big Data, Crowd, Open Data, Linked Data, Cloud Application, New Business Analytics,
Information Visualization, Workflow Management, and Global Digital Production Pipelines.
