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.
Scope
