Call for Papers: EuroSSC 2010 5th IEEE European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context 14 - 16 November 2010 in Passau, Germany http://www.esl.fim.uni-passau.de/eurossc2010 The 5th IEEE European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context is a platform to discuss techniques, algorithms, architectures, protocols, and user aspects underlying context-aware smart surroundings and cooperating intelligent objects. We invite the submission of original and unpublished work covering all areas related to distributed smart sensing, context processing, opportunistic information integration, context-aware actuators, and applications in the area. EuroSSC 2010 topics of interest are: Distributed smart sensing and context recognition a.. Smart sensing: sensors inferring context and context-aware sensing b.. Context-aware surroundings and infrastructures c.. Distributed objects and wearables inferring context d.. Algorithms and architectures for scalable context recognition e.. Quality of Context (context uncertainty, unreliable sensing) Context processing a.. Context reasoning, fusion, transformation, inference b.. Context processing given Quality of Context c.. Scalable context management and processing architectures d.. Information aspects of context-aware sensor&actuator systems Opportunistic information and context processing a.. Methods for opportunistic use of sensors for context awareness b.. Context recognition given opportunistic sensing c.. Principles, approaches and architectures d.. Test-beds, evaluation methods and demonstrators Context-aware actuators, interaction methods, and human aspects a.. Principles and methods for context-aware actuation and feedback b.. Distributed context-aware actuators c.. Interaction with context-aware objects, wearables and proactive interfaces d.. Quality of Actuation e.. Symbiosis between autonomic context-aware sensor&actuator systems and users f.. Social implications, user-controlled privacy, securing context Applications, deployment, test beds and case studies a.. Wearable computing and pervasive computing applications b.. Real-world experiences with deployed systems c.. Applications and case studies related to smart surroundings & intelligent objects d.. Integration with the Internet of the Future e.. Development tools, deployment principles, and life-cycle support Important dates: Full paper submission June 18 Posters and demo submission August 20 Notification of full paper acceptance August 6 Notification posters & demos August 27 Papers Full papers should not exceed 14 pages in length (single-column LNCS format, templates available here). Technical Papers are peer reviewed. Accepted papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). The proceedings will also be made available through the digital library. 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 adjunct conference proceedings, which carry an own ISBN number. The poster will be presented at the conference poster and demonstration session. Demonstrations Proposals for research demonstrations are solicited. Demonstration description should not exceed 3 pages (LNCS format) and should include a description of the demonstration and equipment to be used. Demonstration abstracts will be published in the adjunct conference proceedings with an own ISBN number. With our best wishes, EuroSSC 2010 Organization Committee
