CAPS 2007 – Call for Papers
Third Workshop on Context Awareness for
Proactive Systems,
http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/CCSR/CAPS2007/
Following CAPS 2005 and 2006,
the third Workshop on Context Awareness for Proactive Systems will be held in
June 2007 at the University of Surrey, UK.
The workshop will provide a
unique platform to discuss and exchange findings of research into proactive
computing and communication systems. Their connection to the physical world is
increasingly driven by sensors and actuators which are used to both measure and
manipulate the physical environment. The environmental data gathered is one of
the major influencing factors for proactive systems, the data acts as stimuli
to which these systems respond. Such responses are mainly in terms of providing
users with appropriate resources, information, and services.
To achieve this, proactive
systems need to be able to understand the different contexts that apply in and
for any given user/communication situation. Such context awareness is based on
inference of sensor data to achieve knowledge on a users' state, emotions,
activities, goals, etc. and to proactively adjust the systems behaviour.
Deploying proactive systems in the increasingly embedded and ubiquitous
environments further raises the need to make them context-aware.
Context awareness poses many
challenges towards proactive systems. The main objective of the workshop is to
study and explore these challenges and proposed ways of meeting them. This
includes research on modelling and representing context in proactive computing
systems, frameworks and architectures for context gathering, handling, sensor
and actuator management, context reasoning, learning, and prediction as well as
on modelling, recognising and fulfilling user demand.
CAPS invites submissions on
following topics (but not limited to):
* Sensor and actuator management
* Context modelling and representation
* Context information gathering and data
management
* Frameworks and architectures for
context-aware systems
* Context learning and prediction
techniques
* Context reasoning
* User demand recognition and modelling
* Context-based resource, information, and
service provisioning
* Infrastructures for proactive systems
SUBMISSION DETAILS
-------------------------
The submission system is open now and will
close on January 21st 2007.
Papers should be a maximum of 10 pages
(including figures and references) in LNCS camera ready style
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
Full papers must be written in English and
submitted in PDF format.
Poster submissions should be a maximum of
5 pages (including figures and references). Poster papers must be written in
English and submitted in PDF format.
Software demonstration proposals should be
a maximum of 2 pages describing the contents of the demonstration.
Demonstration papers must be written in English and submitted in PDF format.
All submissions will undergo a thorough
review process and will be judged on quality, originality, clarity and topical
content. Submitted papers should not have been previously published, in part or
in full, or be under consideration of another conference or journal. Accepted
papers will be published in the conference proceedings, selected papers will be
published in a post-conference textbook.
Please indicate whether you submit your
paper as full-paper, poster or demonstration proposal.
Submission is handled via trackchair:
