Call for Papers
3rd Workshop on Context Awareness and CBR CaCoA'08 - Advanced Technologies for Ambient Intelligence
In conjunction with the 9th European Conference on Case Based Reasoning September 1-4, 2008, Trier, Germany
Workshop Website: http://www.iis.uni-hildesheim.de/cacoa08 Conference: http://www.wi2.uni-trier.de/eccbr08/index.php
================================================================================ Ambient Intelligence (AmI) solutions require context awareness (of both the environment and user) to anticipate the humans' goals and needs to behave proactively. Adaptivity and feedback learning are used to advance AmI in order to make it smart and intelligent, while context-sensitive processing takes more and more a key role in many modern intelligent IT applications including context awareness. Context reasoning is also essential for AmI, and can be supported adequately by CBR techniques representing and manipulating situated information. Moreover, demand-oriented and holistic solutions require taking into account relevant human aspects (e.g. social, economic or ethical) to avoid possible refusals of such systems.
This workshop will bring together industry and academic researchers and scientists to study, understand, and explore the handling of context in intelligent applications, with a particular focus on ambient intelligence and human-directed aspects. Besides contributed papers and invited talks, this workshop will offer organized and open spaces for targeted discussions. The workshop will explore (but is not limited to) the following topics along the (pair wise) intersections of context awareness, case-based reasoning, and AmI:
- Context-aware Smart Home solutions - Reasoning in dynamic device environments - Usability, usefulness, and reliability of AmI applications - Multi-modal user interfaces - Minimal-invasive sensing and human-computer interaction (HCI) - Ethical, social and economic impact of AmI (acceptance, perspectives, informational self determination, loss of control, privacy) - Smart human interaction with autonomous systems - Collecting and analysing histories of behaviour - Security and trust implications for AmI solutions - Service matchmaking (practicable) - Responsive and pro-active architectures - Adapting experiences and feedback learning (life cycles) - User-centric explanations (to advance smart behavior) - Communication strategies for AmI applications - Collaborative filtering techniques for context awareness - CBR methods for modeling of and reasoning about context - Philosophical, social, and psychological accounts of ambient intelligence and CBR - Advanced user modeling techniques - Traditional relevant areas of KM (KR, planning, decision-making, uncertainty)
--------------------- Submissions ---------------------
We invite paper submissions including descriptions of works in progress, research contributions, and position statements. Submissions should attempt to address issues relating to Context Awareness and CBR for Ambient Intelligence. The workshop aims to provide a forum for scientists and practitioners exploring ambient intelligence, from a broad range of disciplines, to share their problems and techniques across different research and application areas. Workshop papers should be submitted in Springer LNCS format, which is the format required for the final camera ready copy, with a maximum of 10 pages (tentative). Authors' instructions along with LaTeX and Word macro files are available on the web at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
Submissions should be made through the workshop conference management system (see website for detail). For further information contact the workshop organizers.
