Our workshop is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art research in the area of SHE including intelligent system, security services, business models, and novel applications associated with its utilization. The goal of this Workshop is to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to all aspects of intelligent systems and smart home. We invite authors to submit papers on any aspect of intelligence systems / smart home research and practice. All papers will be peer reviewed, and those accepted for the workshop will be included in a proceedings volume published by Springer-Verlag. == Workshop Topics (include but are not limited to the following) == I. Intelligent Systems - Ubiquitous and Artificial Intelligent - Environment sensing / understanding - Information retrieval and enhancement - Intelligent data analysis and e-mail processing - Industrial applications of AI - Knowledge acquisition, engineering, discovery and representation - Machine learning and translation - Mobile / Wearable intelligence - Natural language processing - Neural networks and intelligent databases - Data mining and Semantic web - Computer-aided education - Entertainment - Metrics for evaluating intelligent systems - Frameworks for integrating AI and data mining II. Smart Home - Wireless sensor networks (WSN) / RFID application for SH - Smart Space (Home, Building, Office) applications and services - Smart Home network middleware and protocols - Context Awareness for Smart Home Services - Multimedia Security and Services in SH - Security Issues for SHE - Access control and Privacy Protection in SH - Forensics and Security Policy in SH - WSN / RFID Security in SH - Commercial and industrial system & application for SH == Important Dates == Paper Submission deadline March 31, 2007 Acceptance notification May 21, 2007 Camera-ready due June 01, 2007 Workshop date August 28th-September 1th, 2007 == Organization == * Steering Co-Chairs ------------------- Laurence T.
