*********************************************************************
LoCA 2009 (May 7-8, Tokyo Japan) is the 4th International Symposium on
Location and Context Awareness, with proceedings published in the LNCS
series by Springer-Verlag. LoCA 2009 is co-located with Pervasive 2009
the Seventh International Conference on Pervasive Computing, which will
be held May 11-14, 2009 in Nara, Japan.

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Shonozaki of Koozyt (PlaceEngine)
will be a Keynote Speaker for LoCA 2009.

The 2009 Symposium on Location and Context Awareness (LoCA) seeks new and 
significant research on systems, services, and applications to detect, interpret 
and use location and other contextual information. Context includes 
physiological, environmental and computational data whether sensed or inferred. 
In addition, context includes users' activities, goals, abilities, preferences, 
interruptibility, affordances, and surroundings. With context, we can expect 
computers to deliver information, services, and entertainment in a way that 
maximizes convenience and minimizes intrusion. Developing awareness involves 
research in sensing, systems, machine learning, human computer interaction, and 
design. 

Online Registration is available at http://loca2009.ucd.ie/registration
