your research interests in ubiquitous and/or urban computing, a brief  
desciprtion of your motivation to attend the summer school, and a  
ranked list of the workshop(s) you would be interested in attending.  
If you are accepted to the summer school, then you will work in one  
particular workshop for the whole week. For example, if you wish to

preferred workshops: E B" in your statement.
