> ***** 4th IEEE European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context *****
>
> The deadline for your 4 page submission is on
> 20 July 2009
>
> 16-18 September 2009

> **********************************************************************
>
> We would like to invite you to present your recent and on-going work
> on smart sensing and context as a poster or demo at EuroSSC 2009.
>
> The annual conference explores new techniques, algorithms,
> architectures, protocols, services, and user aspects utilising context
> and context-aware services and applications. Topics coverage include
> smart sensing, context recognition, and context processing in the
> framework of a Real World Internet. Of growing interest are methods
> and principles for context abstraction and processing, quality of
> context, machine-interpretable representation of context, context-
> aware service platforms, and horizontalisation of context information
> access to leverage smart surroundings for a wide range of applications
> rather than single closed systems.
>
> Past editions were held at ETH Switzerland (2008), University of
> Lancaster in UK (2007), and University of Twente, Netherlands (2006).
>
> Topics of interest:
> ==================
>
> * Distributed smart sensing and context recognition
> o Smart sensing: sensors inferring context and context-aware sensing
> o Context-aware surroundings and infrastructures
> o Distributed objects and wearables inferring context
> o Algorithms and architectures for scalable context recognition
> o Quality of Context (context uncertainty, unreliable sensing)
> o Distributed software architectures for context awareness
>
> * Context processing and categorisation
> o Context reasoning, fusion, transformation, inference
> o Context processing given Quality of Context
> o Scalable context management and processing architectures
> o Information aspects of context-aware sensor and actuator systems
> o Context categorisation and classification
>
> * Context-altering actuators, interaction methods, and human aspects
> o Principles and methods for context-aware actuation and feedback
> o Distributed context-aware actuators
> o Interaction with context-aware objects, wearables and proactive
> interfaces
> o Quality of Actuation
> o Symbiosis between autonomic context-aware sensor and actuator
> systems and users
> o Social implications, user-controlled privacy, securing context
>
> * Service environment, applications, deployment, test beds and case
> studies
> o Real-world experiences with deployed systems
> o Applications and case studies related to smart surroundings &
> intelligent objects
> o Integration with the Internet of the Future – the Real World
> Internet
> o Development tools, deployment principles, and life-cycle support
> o Wearable computing and pervasive computing applications
> o Sensor networks and information processing for new generations
> of context enabled devices
> o Intelligent sensors and sensor network systems
> o Context-aware service platforms
>

> Keynotes:
> =========
>
> * Professor Amit Sheth from the Wright State University will talk
> about "Computing for Human Experience: Semantics empowered Sensors,
> Services, and Social Computing on ubiquitous Web".
> His homepage is at http://knoesis.wright.edu/amit/
>
> * Dr. Marimuthu Palaniswami from ARC Research Network on Intelligent
> Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing (ISSNIP), the
> University of Melbourne will hold a talk on "Large Scale Sensor
> Networks Deployment: Research Challenges and Opportunities"
> His homepage is at http://www.ee.unimelb.edu.au/staff/swami/

>
> Submission:
> ===========
> Posters should present recent and on-going research in smart sensing
> and context area. The poster submissions should include a 4-page (LNCS
> format) description of the current research. The demonstrations also
> require a 4-page (LNCS format) submission to describe the presented
> work. Accepted submissions for posters and demonstrations will be
> printed in the adjunct conference proceedings with an own ISBN number.
> The submitted work is expected to be presented at the conference.
> Submission open at: http://senldogo0039.springer-sbm.com/EuroSSC2009/
