CALL FOR PAPERS

Ambient, pervasive, and ubiquitous computing are seen as a drastic shift for

computing systems. Indeed, networked computing resources shall become

invisible to users and cooperatively provide them with the right services at

the right time.

Increasingly, wireless sensor networks, consisting of a large number of

nodes closely interacting with the environment, are finding a place in

larger pervasive systems, leading to an amalgamation of the two streams and

a new set of interaction patterns in the applications running on them.

Specifically, this domain opens up a wide area of research for middleware to

support applications on these systems.

The aim of this workshop is to investigate the issues involved in middleware

for sensing and actuation augmented pervasive systems, from supporting

algorithms and protocols to emerging computing paradigms and software system

architectures.

Topics for the workshop include but are not limited to:

- Programming abstractions for sensing and actuation augmented pervasive

systems

- Middleware support for data access in such systems

- Reports from actual deployments in the field

- Context awareness in sensing and actuation augmented pervasive

environments

- Dependability in sensing and actuation augmented pervasive systems

- Interoperability issues in handling node heterogeneity

- Mobility issues in sensing and actuation augmented pervasive systems

- Security, privacy and trust in sensing and actuation augmented pervasive

systems

- Quality of service in sensing and actuation augmented pervasive systems

- Scalability in sensing and actuation augmented pervasive systems

- Social groups in sensing and actuation augmented pervasive systems

- System architectures for sensing and actuation augmented pervasive systems

- User-centred sensing and actuation augmented pervasive systems

The overall goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on

the numerous topics related to middleware for sensing and actuation

augmented pervasive systems aiming to provide an environment for sharing

experiences and initiating collaborations.

Paper Submission:

Proceedings of the IE'09 workshops will be published by IOS Press (

http://www.iospress.nl/) as a volume in the AISE series.

Papers should be submitted using the EasyChair conference management system

(link to be communicated soon).

Papers should be written in English and be prepared according to the IOS

Press format. You may check at
