Autonomic execution of services is one of the features of context-aware

computing. The service execution may take place inside a simple mobile

device, a stand-alone application, a middleware, a network of all size

and type; or a physical smart environment. The main idea here is to

provide these systems with rich context information to undertake

intelligent decision-making. Participation or intervention in the

decision-making process by users or administrators of the systems is

required only when it is absolutely needed. The intelligent decision

making may refer to: (1) providing timely information to the user; (2)

protecting the system from a systematic attack or intrusion; (3)

updating and configuring relevant software so that it can function

optimally; and (4) reconfiguring a system when some internal and

external settings (policies) change.

Apparently, the above aspects bring together two research areas, namely, autonomic computing and context-aware computing. Whereas these two areas are complementary, so far, vital research issues pertaining to context-aware computing and autonomic computing have been addressed

independently.

The main aim of this workshop is to build a bridge between these two

areas by fostering discussions and collaborations among researchers and

practitioners of these two areas. We are particularly interested in

investigating context and self-adaptive behaviours.

This year, we are planning to make casemans 2010 very attractive by

introducing three paper sessions: (1) full papers session; (2) short

papers session; and (3) demonstrables. The full papers session focuses

on papers with solid research result. The short papers session (4 to 6

pages) will focus on visionary, insightful, critical and even controversial papers that encourage further research. The demonstrables

are very short papers (not more than 2 pages) and can be accompanied by

demos, attractive posters or videos that show aspects of

context-awareness and autonomic service executions.

Scope

Broadly speaking, the scope of the workshop can be described by the

following terms:

* Context-awareness and cloud computing

* Context-awareness and energy-efficient computing

* Context-awareness and smart spaces

* Context-awareness and service oriented computing

* context-awareness and wireless sensor networks

* Context-awareness and social networking

* Context-awareness and robotics

* Context-awareness and efficient multimedia content distribution

* Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction

Information for Authors

The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM and will be

indexed accordingly. The electronic version of the proceedings will be

made available online at the ACM Digital Library. Manuscripts should be

prepared according to the ACM Proceedings format. Please visit the ACM

template website. All paper submissions will be handled electronically by the Easychair. Note that submission is a two-stage process - authors need to register their paper first and then submit the final manuscript. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format and conform to the guidelines specified here.
