ENVIRONMENTS (CMMSE'07)

 

Workshop website: http://flash.lakeheadu.ca/ ~rbenlamr/cmm07
<http://flash.lakeheadu.ca/%20~rbenlamr/cmm07> /

 

In conjunction with the 2nd International Conference on Digital
Information Management (ICDIM'07)

 

We invite you to send a paper to CMMSE'07 in Lyon, France on October
28-31, 2007.

 

Paper submission deadline: July 6, 2007

 

CMMSE'07 is an IEEE Computer Society sponsored workshop covering a wide
range of topics in Context Modeling and Management for Smart
Environments. CMMSE'07 in conjunction with ICDIM'07 provides an
excellent opportunity for researchers to exchange leading-edge research
in the dynamic field of ubiquitous computing, and context-aware
computing in particular. Topics of the workshop include, but are not
limited to:

 

-          Context modeling approaches in smart environments;

-          Context management approaches in smart environments;

-          Context reasoning in smart environments;

-          Combined context models;

-          Context discovery in smart environments;

-          Context reuse in smart environments;

-          Advanced issues in context modeling (imperfections, ambiguity
and incompleteness)

-          Context information query;

-          Distribution of context information;

-          Scalability, integration and reuse of context models;

-          Interoperability of context modeling approaches;

-          Security and privacy of context information

-          Experiences using context models and reasoning to build smart
environments.

-          Ontology-based approaches to context modeling and reasoning

-          Evaluation of context models

-          Context Modeling Languages and middleware

-          Semantics and expressiveness of context models

-          Domain specific context models (context-awareness in
e-learning, e-commerce, ...)

-          Uncertainty modeling and management of context information

 

The proceedings of the Workshop will be published by IEEE Computer
Society and fully index by IEEE Xplore. Extended version of selected
papers will be considered for publication in the following journals:

We invite contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in topics
related to the workshop themes. Researchers are invited to submit
technical papers (approx. 5000 words- 10 pages), position or
work-in-progress papers (approx. 2000 words - 4 pages). All submissions
should use the standard IEEE double-column format. Authors should e-mail
their submissions to s.kouadri@open.ac.uk or rbenlamr@lakeheadu.ca.
