2nd IEEE International Workshop on
Software Engineering for Context Aware Systems and Applications (SECASA 2009) IN CONJUNCTION WITH IEEE COMPSAC 2009 Seattle,Washington, July 20-24, 2009 http://conferences.computer.org/compsac/2009/workshops/SECASA2009.html IMPORTANT DATES: March 7, 2009 Workshop paper submission due April 10, 2009 Workshop paper notification (electronic) April 30, 2009 All final manuscripts and author pre-registrations due (firm deadline). THEME OF THE WORKSHOP: We call for original contributions on the theme of context-aware computing, focusing both on the development of practical context-aware systems and application and on the theory to support this development. Context-aware concepts are readily found in multiple applications, including distributed and mobile computing, adaptive Web applications, distributed operating systems, and distributed communities for social networking and user collaboration. More generally, context-aware computing requires that the behaviour of a piece of software be aware of, and adapt to a set of underlying runtime contexts and changes thereto, where the contexts are external varying environments that may affect computation. Examples of such external environments or contexts involve time, location, situation, and user profile. Context-aware programming means writing software programs that specify how computations or behaviors of context-aware applications depend on or vary in underlying contexts. Of particular interest are theoretical approaches to the problem of context-awareness. For example, applying intensional concepts, with possible world semantics, to context-aware computing and programming should help build a solid theoretical foundation for enginerering context-aware software systems and applications. Topics of interest include all aspects of software engineering for developing context aware systems and applications. Topics include but are not restricted to: * Software development process for context-aware systems and applications * Requirements engineering for context-aware systems and applications * Modeling context-aware systems and applications * Formalism and abstraction of context-aware systems and applications * Software architecture and design patterns of context-aware systems applications * Quality of context-aware systems and applications * Context-aware system and application design * Programming languages and systems for context-aware systems and applications * Implementation of context-aware systems and applications * Testing, verification, and validation of context-aware systems and applications Research papers as well as papers reporting practical experiences and applications of the above topics are all welcome. SUBMISSION: All submissions must be made through the SECASA2009 submission site: http://rs.cs.iastate.edu/COMPSAC2009Workshops/SECASA2009/ All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by at least two members of the program committee according to its originality, significance, correctness, presentation, and relevance. We encourage authors to present position papers on practical studies and experiments, critiques of existing work, emerging issues, and novel ideas under development. Manuscripts of full-length papers are limited to six pages. If a paper is accepted as a short paper its length must be reduced to no more than four pages. Accepted fast abstracts and panel position statements will be limited to two pages. Page counting includes all figures, tables, and references. Extra page charges apply. The format of submitted papers must follow the IEEE conference proceedings guidelines (i.e., 8.5" x 11", Two-Column Format (PDF: instruct.pdf; DOC: instruct.doc); Layout Guide (PDF: format.pdf; DOC: format.doc; all under ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/). Please consult these documents for proper naming conventions. All accepted papers will be published in the electronic conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society, indexed through INSPEC and EI Index (Elsevier's Engineering Information Index), and automatically included in the IEEE Digital Library. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register by paying full registration fee as a participant of the workshop to have the paper published in the proceedings. Each accepted paper must be presented in person by an author. LIKELY PARTICIPANTS: Participants from context-aware software engineering/systems research groups in the world and researchers who are interested in applications of context-aware concepts to software engineering and systems are most welcome.
