    ACM Bytecast - Shwetak Patel - Episode 7 Transcript Jessica Bell: This is ACM Bytecast, a podcast series from the Association for Computing Machinery. The ​ ​ world's largest educational and scientific computing society. We talk to researchers, practitioners, and innovators. We're all at the intersection of computing research and practice. They share their experiences, the lessons they've learned, and their own visions for the future of computing. I'm your host, Jessica Bell. Jessica Bell: All right. Welcome to ACM Bytecast. And today we have a really interesting guest. I will let you ​ ​ introduce yourself. Please say who you are, what you're doing now, and any sort of fun facts you have about yourself. Shwetak Patel: Great. Hi, my name is Shwetak Patel. I'm a professor at the University of Washington in computer science. I'm also director of health technologies at Google. Interesting fun facts about me is that I was a trained electrician and plumber while I was in grad school, which informed a lot of my research back in the earlier days. So people don't realize that I can do construction, and something that ends up being a good conversation piece for people. Jessica Bell: Oh wow. Is that part of why you ended up going into tech? Did you find that through construction or was there another sort of thing leading you into tech? Shwetak Patel: No, not really. I mean, part of it was. So when I was growing up, my parents were in the hotel business and so I shadowed them a lot in terms of fixing things in the rooms and that kinds of stuff.

This is the first time the UbiComp conference series comes to China. Posters 10 UbiComp is a conference that truly captures the wide variety of research activities in the diverse field of ubiquitous computing, encompassing research from, e.g., Human-Computer Interaction, Mobile Computing, Demos 13 Location and Sensing Technology, Machine Learning, Middleware and Systems, and Programming Models Videos 16 and Tools. Doctoral Consortium 17 September 2011 also marks a historic date in UbiComp. It is exactly 20 years from when Dr. Mark Weiser’s Tutorials 18 landmark article, “The Computer for the Twenty-First Century,” appeared in Scientific American. This article is acclaimed for widely publicizing the idea of UbiComp in the research community and setting the goals for Workshops 21 the early years of the field. We will mark this historic occasion with a special panel in tribute to the late Dr. Panel 22 Weiser. Our panel of luminaries, including those who worked with Dr. Weiser at Xerox PARC, as well as his contemporaries who were influenced by his work at the time, will reminisce on Mark’s predictions as well as Visions of UbiComp Film Contest 25 present their view of where the field should move going forward.

Postdoctoral Research Associate, Computer Science Department and Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, 1992-1994. Research Associate, Human-Computer Interaction Group, Computer Science Department, University of York, 1989-1992. CURRENT FIELDS OF INTEREST My research involves the application-driven aspects of ubiquitous computing. As such, I am interested in problems that concern both the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Software Engineering research communities. Specifically, I am interested in the development of techniques to support the rapid prototyping and evaluation of mobile and ubiquitous computing applications that will be prevalent in future computing environments. The impact on our human experience will be exciting to discover, but we will not be able to achieve this vision without significant advances in the engineering of the software for ubiquitous computing. The challenges for designing, implementing and evolving software for everyday human use that runs reliably, continuously and appropriately on the wide variety of worn, held and embedded platforms are numerous and complex.
