CALL FOR PAPERS

Second Workshop on Context-Systems Design, Evaluation and Optimisation
(CoSDEO 2011)
(http://www.teco.edu/conf/cosdeo2011/)

in conjunction with
the 24th International Conference on
Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS)
(http://conferences.dei.polimi.it/arcs2011/)
in Como, Italy, February 22nd - 25th, 2011

========================================================================

The CoSDEO-workshop has the goal to bring together researchers in the areas of
context computing that focus on design, evaluation, optimisation and testing
of Systems for context computing.

We are looking for original contributions on theoretical aspects as well as
implementations and experiments regarding systems and system design in the
field of context computing. In this context, practical implementations which
require theoretical investigations shall be discussed.

The workshop focuses on context and systems for context computing. An
important aspect is the impact and processing scheme for uncertain contexts
and quality of context, as well as the appropriate modelling of context and
situations. For submitted papers we appreciate resilient and comparable
experimental studies.

Topics of Interest include, but are not restricted to:
- Design aspects of context aware systems
- Experimental work and field studies on context aware systems
- Architectures and building blocks for context computing systems
- Surveys about architectures and systems for context aware computing
- Surveys about architectures and systems for pro-active context computing and
context prediction
- Optimisation and evaluation of models for context computing
- Systems providing and using quality of context
- Systems providing and using uncertain contexts
- Context reasoning
- Systems to ensure privacy and security in context processing


Accepted submissions will be published in the ARCS Workshop Proceedings which
will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) and included in the ACM Digital Library.
