CALL FOR PAPERSLoCA 2009 - 4th International Symposium on Location and Context AwarenessMay 7th-8th, 2009. Tokyo, JapanPlease note the recently revised abstract and full paper submission deadlines. 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machine learning, human computer interaction, and design.We seek technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research results. We are especially interested in submissions in the following areas but welcome submissions from other areas that are relevant to the theme of the symposium:New hardware platforms for sensing location and context Machine learning techniques for inferring user location and context from low-level sensor data Location and context representation, management, and distribution Privacy policies and communication protocols for location and context information User studies of location- and context-aware systems Industrial case studies of end-to-end systems One paper will be elected for a Best Paper Award by the LoCA program committee and is designed to recognize outstanding work. In addition, a combination of the LoCA program committee and all symposium participants will elect the recipient of the Best Presentation Award following the symposium. Both awards will be made during the symposium.Paper Submission GuidelinesAll papers will be reviewed by our international program committee. LoCA 2009 aims to be selective and the committee will favor a technically robust program. The ideal LoCA submission should provide an insightful survey of existing work, introduce a radically new concept, or present concrete, significant, transferable research based on the implementation and evaluation of a working system. All accepted papers will be contained in the symposium proceedings which will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer. Therefore submissions must conform to the LNCS LaTeX stylesheets. We solicit papers of up to 18 pages in LNCS style but explicitly welcome shorter papers for presentation of pointed results. All paper submissions will be treated as full papers but it is important that their length is appropriate for their content.Accepted papers will be presented by their authors at the LoCA Symposium in the Tokyo. Submit papers as Adobe PDF via EDAS at http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6603. Preparation of the camera-ready version of accepted papers may be shepherded by the program committee.Best Paper and Presentation AwardsOne paper will be elected for a Best Paper Award by the LoCA program committee to recognize outstanding work. In addition, a combination of the LoCA program committee and all symposium participants will elect the recipient of the Best Presentation Award following the symposium.Symposium Websitehttp://loca2009.context-aware.org Program Chairs Tanzeem Choudhury, Dartmouth College USA,Aaron Quigley, University College Dublin IrelandInternational Program Committee Hamid Aghajan, Stanford University, USAChristian Becker, Universität Mannheim, GermanyHung Bui, SRI International, USAAndrew T.
