The 5th ACM international workshop on context-awareness for 
self-managing systems (casemans 2011)

http://www.rn.inf.tu-dresden.de/hwn/2011/casemans/index.html

in conjunction with

The 14th ACM International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing

Recent advances in mobile and wireless technologies have contributed to 
the global availability and sharing of large-scale information. As a 
result, many noble and ubiquitous applications are emerging in the areas 
of healthcare, social networking, disaster avoidance and overcoming, 
independent living, etc. The desirable progress in the availability and 
sharing of information is not without side-effects or formidable 
challenges. Firstly, extracting the useful information from a large 
quantity of information in a seamless and timely manner is not simple. 
Secondly, the devices or mechanisms by which the information is gathered 
and processed are often limited in their processing and storing 
capability, which in turn has an effect on the quality of the 
information. Third, in a ubiquitous computing environment, it is not 
always possible to expect stable and reliable (as well as always 
available) sources to obtain critical data from the environment. Hence, 
noble data gathering, processing and delivery mechanisms are required 
for robust and reliable adaptation to take place in ubiquitous 
computing. With this respect, the Casemans 2011 workshop aims to 
complement the main Ubicomp 2011 conference by setting the focus of the 
workshop on investigating ways:
# Of self-managing paradigms to seamlessly acquire and process context 
related data from various context sources.
# To building self-managing systems that employ context information to 
support seamless adaptation.

This year, we are building on the success of casemans 2010 by 
introducing three full paper sessions. Additionally, the workshop will 
feature a combined demo, poster and video session to foster hands-on 
experience, discussion and collaboration among participants. Each full 
paper session focuses on papers with solid research result. Furthermore, 
for each session, one visionary paper with work-in-progress reports will 
be accepted. These short papers (4 to 6 pages) will focus on visionary, 
insightful, critical and even controversial studies that encourage 
further research. The demonstrables are short papers (not more than 2 
pages) and are accompanied by demos, attractive posters or videos that 
show aspects of context-awareness and autonomic service executions.
