Dear colleague,

This is just a reminder that the deadline for submission of papers to
SeNAmI 2012 is fastly approaching (papers are due on October 30th).
Please consider submitting your recent work to this IEEE PerCom
Worskhop. The CFP is included below.

We look forward to meeting you in Lugano.

Best regards,

4th edition of the
Workshop on Sensor Networks and Ambient Intelligence (SeNAmI 2012)
NOVEL CONCEPTS ON THINGS, INTERFACES AND APPLICATIONS IN SMART SPACES
Call for papers

Co-located with IEEE PerCom (International Conference on Pervasive
Computing and Communications, http://www.percom.org), March 21-24

* Motivation and scope

Smart spaces, pervasive computing and ambient intelligence are
different terms to allude to the capabilities of  systems to 'adapt'
and 'respond', in order to provide the right service in a timely,
unobtrusive and friendly manner. When conceiving a smart system, it is
key to define how to seamlessly, effectively and securely it will
interact with the user, both to gather the appropriate information to
work and to provide the required service. To date, most practical
interaction strategies in smart spaces have relied in the use of
mobile devices as mediators (e.g. mobile augmented reality). Recently
also a number of methods based on natural interfaces (such as tangible
ones in smart objects) have been proposed and demonstrated. This
workshop focuses on advances in technologies and concepts enabling
novel interaction models to link the physical and virtual world layers
in smart spaces, to create innovative applications which make
intensive use of ambient and personal information to deliver value to
their users. Our goal is to organize a forum for attendees to share
experiences and discuss novel ideas for easy, friendly and effective
interaction and applications in smart spaces.

Following the success of previous editions (Dunedin 2008, Hiroshima
2009 and Hong Kong 2010), the fourth edition of this event once again
aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to
present and discuss recent trends and advances in supportive
technologies for ambient intelligence.

Not being restrictive to, suitable topics include:
- Architectures for handling smart items in responsive spaces
- Context management for interaction in smart spaces
- Reasoning and learning techniques for interaction in smart spaces
- Cyber-physical systems for human-centric applications: tangible
interfaces and smart objects
- Internet of Things
- Sensors management for interaction
- Advanced (mobile) ubiquitous applications
- Privacy, security and trust management for interaction in smart spaces
- Prototypes, testbeds, and real-world deployments
- Field evaluation of user experience

* Submission and Proceedings

Papers should contain original material and not be previously
published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere.
Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference
format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society
author guidelines
(http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting).

All submissions will be handled via EDAS (http://edas.info/N11413).
Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press
in the combined PerCom 2010 Workshops Proceedings and will appear on
IEEE Xplore.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended version
of their work for publication in a Special Issue on 'Sensors and
Wireless Sensor Networks for Novel Concepts of Things, Interfaces and
Applications in Smart Spaces' in MDPI Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220,
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/smart_spaces/).
Sensors is indexed by the Science Citation Index and other databases.
