Call for paper

The 1^st European conference on Smart Sensing and Context will explore the underlying techniques, protocols, architectures and algorithms for smart surroundings with intelligent, networked, co-operating objects. Wireless sensor networks and smart objects are two particular instances of such networked embedded sensing systems, which can perceive and control many aspects of the real world, generate context, and which may interact with humans.

The ubiquitous computing vision has over the last 10 years inspired research into computing systems and applications that become pervasively embedded in our everyday environments, and that bring the unique flexibility of digital technology to the activities around which our lives evolve. Caused by rapid progress in technology, this early research tended to focus on experimental prototypes of infrastructures, devices, and applications. As the field is progressing, the most important research challenge is to move beyond prototypes toward sustainable systems for implementation of the ubiquitous computing vision.

Therefore, this conference aims at bringing together designers, engineers and researchers to explore two complementary viewpoints:

• A device-centric, technology-driven view: concerning intelligent sensors, sensor networks and information processing for a new generation of networked devices and environments.

• A service-centric, user-driven view: exploring architectures, techniques, and algorithms for context-aware and pro-active applications made possible by the diffusion of ambient communication, cooperating objects, and interaction technologies.
