                         Call for Papers
ICOST2007: 5th International Conference On Smart homes
                     and health Telematics

                Nara Prefectural New Public Hall
                          Nara, Japan
                      June 21 - 23, 2007
                      http://www.icost2007.org/

** EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 29 January, 2007 **
** Proceedings will be published by Springer-LNCS **


  A Smart Home can be considered to be an augmented environment with
the ability to consolidate embedded computers, information appliances,
micro/nano systems, and multi-modal sensors to offer people
unprecedented levels of access to information and assistance from
information and communication technology. Health Telematics makes the
most of networks and telecommunications to provide, within the home
environment, health services, expertise and information and hence
radically transform the way health-related services are conceived and
delivered. We believe that in the future ageing and disabled people
will use smart assistive technology to perform daily living activities,
socialize, and enjoy entertainment and leisure activities.

  Nowadays networks, microprocessors, memory chips, smart sensors and
actuators are faster, cheaper, more intelligent and smaller than ever.
Current advances in such enabling technologies coupled with evolving
care paradigms allow us to foresee novel applications and services for
improving the quality of life for ageing and disabled people both inside
and outside of their homes. The conference will present the latest
approaches and technical solutions in the area of Smart Homes, Health
Telematics, and emerging enabling technologies. Technical topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

     * Intelligent Environments / Smart Homes
     * Medical Data Collection and Processing
     * Vision / Hearing / Cognitive Devices
     * Home Networks / Residential Gateways
     * Human-Machine Interface / Ambient Intelligence
     * Wearable Sensors / Integrated Micro/Nano Systems / Home Health
       Monitoring
     * Tele-Assistance and Tele-Rehabilitation
     * Personal Robotics and Smart Wheelchairs
     * Social / Privacy / Security Issues
     * Context Awareness / Autonomous Computing
     * Middleware Support for Smart Home and Health Telematic Services
     * Modeling of Physical and Conceptual Information in Intelligent
       Environments


SPECIFIC TOPICS

  Each year, ICOST has a specific flavour. ICOST2003 focused on  
usability.
The theme was "Independent living for persons with disabilities and  
elderly
people". The theme for ICOST2004 was "Towards a Human-Friendly Assistive
Environment". ICOST2005 theme was "From Smart Homes to Smart Care" and
ICOST2006 theme was "Smart Homes and Beyond". ICOST2007 will focus on
Sustainable Society with Quality of Life Enhancement with the theme
"Pervasive Computing Perspectives for Quality of Life Enhancement". This
focuses on promoting pervasive computing in extending the quality of  
life.

PAPER SUBMISSION

  There will be a combination of presentations including scientific  
papers,
posters and technology demonstrations. Papers must be unpublished and  
not
under submission elsewhere. Papers should be written in English, 4-9  
printed
pages. All submissions must be sent electronically through the
