The 2nd European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context (EuroSSC 2007)
October 23-25, 2007, Kendal, Lake District, UK

Organized by Lancaster University,
co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society
co-sponsored by ACM Sigmobile (pending)
Proceedings published by Springer LNCS
==========================================================================
EuroSSC 2007, the 2nd European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context,
explores technical and human aspects of smart surroundings involving
networked embedded sensing systems and intelligent objects. In particular,
EuroSSC 2007 brings together designers, researchers, product vendors and
users to explore two complementary viewpoints:
* A technology-driven view: concerning intelligent sensors, sensor
networks and information processing for a new generation of
networked devices and intelligent environments.
* A user-driven view: exploring scenarios, applications and
interaction methods for context-aware and pro-active applications
made possible by the diffusion of ambient communication,
cooperating objects, and interaction technologies.
We particularly welcome papers that cross these two themes exploring,
for example, technology implications arising from user needs, or the
effects of technology choices and restrictions on user experience.
We solicit submissions that report on innovations in all areas related to
smart surroundings, context-awareness and networked embedded sensing
systems, in one or more of the following categories: papers, posters,
demonstrations, and exhibits.

Submission
All submitted papers will be judged based on their novelty, clarity, and
relevance through blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are
withheld from the reviewers. Accepted papers will be published as Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer-Verlag. Papers and posters
will be fully reviewed. Authors of accepted submissions will have the
opportunity to update their submissions based on the reviews before the
final electronic copy is due. EuroSSC 2007 requires electronic submission.
Reviewers will be instructed to maintain the confidentiality of all
materials for submitted papers throughout the entire reviewing process.
Submissions should contain no information that will be proprietary or
confidential at the time of publication.
Papers
Authors are encouraged to submit their papers describing original,
previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another
conference or journal. The length of the manuscript should not exceed
16 pages (LNCS format). For more information on the format, please check
Information for LNCS Authors. Please address any questions about paper
submissions to the program committee co-chair,
Vasughi Sundramooorthy (v.sundramoorthy[at]comp[dot]lancs[dot]ac[dot]uk).
Posters
Posters are solicited that present recent and on-going research by
students. The poster submissions should include a 2-page (LNCS format)
description of the student's research. Accepted posters will be printed in
the conference proceedings and the poster will be presented at the
conference poster and demonstration session. Please address any questions
about poster submissions to the program committee co-chair
Vasughi Sundramoorthy (v.sundramoorthy[at]comp[dot]lancs[dot]ac[dot]uk).
Demonstrations
Proposals for research demos are solicited. Proposals should not exceed
3 pages (LNCS format) and should include a description of the demo and
equipment to be used.
Exhibits
