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
http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2011/

Autonomic execution of services is one of the features of context-aware 
computing. The service execution may take place inside a simple mobile 
device, a stand-alone application, a middleware, a network of all size 
and type; or a physical smart environment. The main idea here is to 
provide these systems with rich context information to undertake 
intelligent decision-making. Participation or intervention in the 
decision-making process by users or administrators of the systems is 
required only when it is absolutely needed. The intelligent decision 
making may refer to: (1) providing timely information to the user; (2) 
protecting the system from a systematic attack or intrusion; (3) 
updating and configuring relevant software so that it can function 
optimally; and (4) reconfiguring a system when some internal and 
external settings (policies) change.

Apparently, the above aspects bring together two research areas, namely, 
autonomic computing and context-aware computing. Whereas these two areas 
are complementary, so far, vital research issues pertaining to 
context-aware computing and autonomic computing have been addressed 
independently.

The main aim of this workshop is to build a bridge between these two 
areas by fostering discussions and collaborations among researchers and 
practitioners of these two areas. We are particularly interested in 
investigating context and self-adaptive behaviours.

This year, we are planning to make casemans 2010 very attractive by 
introducing three paper sessions: (1) full papers session; (2) short 
papers session; and (3) demonstrables. The full papers session focuses 
on papers with solid research result. The short papers session (4 to 6 
pages) will focus on visionary, insightful, critical and even 
controversial papers that encourage further research. The demonstrables 
are very short papers (not more than 2 pages) and can be accompanied by 
demos, attractive posters or videos that show aspects of 
context-awareness and autonomic service executions.


Scope

Broadly speaking, the scope of the workshop can be described by the 
following terms:

  * Context-awareness and cloud computing
  * Context-awareness and energy-efficient computing
  * Context-awareness and smart spaces
  * Context-awareness and service oriented computing
  * context-awareness and wireless sensor networks
  * Context-awareness and social networking
  * Context-awareness and robotics
  * Context-awareness and efficient multimedia content distribution
  * Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction


Information for Authors

The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM ((ISBN: 
978-1-4503-0213-5) and will be indexed accordingly. The electronic 
version of the proceedings will be made available online at the ACM 
Digital Library. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the ACM 
Proceedings format. Please visit the ACM template website 
<http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>. All paper 
submissions will be handled electronically by the Easychair 
<http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=casemans2011>. Note that 
submission is a two-stage process - authors need to register their paper 
first and then submit the final manuscript. Submissions must be in Adobe 
PDF format and conform to the guidelines specified here.
