SCOPE
-----

To better assist users, smart devices must sense and react to the user's =
environment or "context." Almost any information available at the=20
time of an interaction between a system and a user can be seen as =
contextual information. Some examples are obtained through sensors:=20
spatial information (e.g. location, orientation), temporal information =
(e.g. time of the day, date), who you are with, and people that are
nearby, resources that are nearby (e.g. accessible devices, and hosts), =
etc.=20
There is a lot of such information provided by sensors. We call it the =
context of the interaction. However, for a given focus, only a part=20
of this information could present an interest for the current focus. We =
thus distinguish between the contextual information and the=20
external information. We are interested by capturing and modeling the =
contextual information, and how a part of this contextual information is =
assembled, organized, and structured in a proceduralized context.
Such information is used to design adaptive systems and to provide =
custom services to users based on their profile and preferences. =20
Pervasive environments are the prime field for context-aware computing =
where many applications have emerged in the last decade.=20

By organizing this workshop, we aim at addressing the problem of context =
management, modeling, and use from a software engineering=20
perspective.


TOPICS
------

Original contributions are solicited in all context-aware computing =
research=20
and applications. Topics include, but are not limited to:
=20
* Software aspects of context acquisition tools and techniques
* Object-oriented techniques applied to user modeling and context =
modeling
* Software frameworks for Context-aware applications.
* Design patterns applied to context-aware applications
* Context in pervasive/multi-agents systems
* Context in security issues
* Modeling context using UML
* Dealing with imperfect and unambiguous contextual information
* Building of a proceduralized context
* Management of the dynamic dimension of context
* Management of context  in an evolving environment
* Context in decision support systems
* Context for web services



PAPER SUBMISSIONS
-----------------

IWSAC'05 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers =
must respect the template of the main conference=20
(see at http://icps2005.cs.ucr.edu/index.html).=20
Please send your electronic submission to =
[email protected] in pdf format.
The workshop proceedings will be published online in the CEUR series of =
workshops (http://www.CEUR-ws.org). Full acceptance of the paper and =
publication in the workshop proceedings suppose that at least one of the =
authors is registered=20
to the main conference.=20

Pending: A selection of the best papers would be proposed for a special =
issue of The International Journal of Computing and Information=20
Sciences (IJCIS).
