CFP: Workshop on Context-Aware Software Technology and Applications

>

> CASTA 2009 is the first joint workshop on Context-Aware Software
> Technology and Applications, co-located with ESEC/FSE 2009 in
> Amsterdam (August 24-28, 2009).
>
> Context awareness is the notion of computer systems that dynamically
> adapt their behavior to a changing environment. Such applications
> are useful in many situations ranging from general human-computer
> interaction over business process execution to healthcare or
> logistics. However, mainstream programming languages and tools do
> not offer dedicated support for adaptive properties. Additionally,
> as context awareness is an application requirement, it should
> already be addressed at the modeling level.
>
> Recent developments in dynamic programming languages enable context
> awareness technically, but the application-oriented communities have
> had little opportunity to benefit from these insights. Vice versa,
> certain application requirements concerning context could probably
> be met better by specially-tailored programming and modeling
> techniques.
> This workshop attempts to bring together researchers from the
> disparate communities to exchange ideas, establish a common research
> program, and foster new collaborations.
>
> The workshop is intended to be dynamic and interactive.
> We especially welcome presentations that bridge communities, are
> provocative, or offer live demonstrations of novel context-aware
> applications or technologies. Contributions are invited related to
> any aspect of context awareness, including:
> 1) Requirements engineering for context-aware applications
> 2) Modeling context and context-aware applications, e.g.
> - User modeling and adaptability
> - Context-aware business processes
> - Semantics of computational models for context-dependent
> behavior
> 3) Programming languages and mechanisms to support dynamic
> adaptation to context
> 4) Context-aware applications, including:
> - Ubiquitous Computing
> - Healthcare, supply chain management, logistics
> - Interactive Systems
>
> Submissions
> Workshop submissions are limited to 4 pages in length in ACM
> proceedings format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates
> ). All submissions must be original work, and must not have been
> previously published, nor be under consideration for publication
> elsewhere.
> Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair submission
> system.
> Accepted papers will be published through the ACM digital library. A
> post-proceedings containing extended versions of selected papers is
> planned. (Venue to be decided.)
>
> Important Dates (Hard deadlines!):
> Paper Submission: May 1, 2009
> Notification: June 1, 2009
> Camera-ready version: June 26, 2009
