Scope
To better assist users, smart devices must sense and react to the
user’s environment or “context.” Almost any information
available at the time of an interaction between a system and a user can be seen
as contextual information. Some examples are obtained through sensors: spatial
information (e.g. location, orientation), temporal information (e.g. time of
the day, date), who you are with, and people that are nearby, resources that
are nearby (e.g. accessible devices, and hosts), etc.
There is a lot of such information provided by sensors. We call it the
context of the interaction. However, for a given focus, only a part of this
information could present an interest for the current focus. We thus
distinguish between the contextual information and the external information. We
are interested by capturing and modeling the contextual information, and how a
part of this contextual information is assembled, organized, and structured in
a proceduralized context.
Such information is used to design adaptive systems and to provide custom
services to users based on their profile and preferences. Pervasive
environments are the prime field for context-aware computing where many
applications have emerged in the last decade.
By organizing this workshop, we aim at addressing the problem of context
management, modeling, and use from a software engineering perspective.
We look for original submissions on the following topics (but not
limited to):
• Software aspects of context acquisition tools and techniques
• Object-oriented techniques applied to user modeling and context
modeling
• Software frameworks for Context-aware applications.
• Design patterns applied to context-aware applications
• Context in pervasive/multi-agents systems
• Context in security issues
• Modeling context using UML
• Dealing with imperfect and unambiguous contextual information
• Building of a proceduralized context
• Management of the dynamic dimension of context
• Management of context in an evolving environment
• Context in decision support systems
• Context for web services
Submission of papers
IWSAC’05 invites
authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must respect the
template of the main conference (see at http://icps2005.cs.ucr.edu/index.html).
Please send your electronic submission to iwsac@unifr.ch in pdf
format.
The workshop proceedings will be published online in the CEUR series of
workshops (http://www.CEUR-ws.org). Full
acceptance of the paper and publication in the workshop proceedings suppose
that at least one of the authors is registered to the workshop.
Pending: A selection of the best
papers would be proposed for a special issue of The
International Journal of Computing and Information Sciences (IJCIS).
