International Workshop on Situation Aware Computing

Scope

Situation-aware computing is an emerging computation paradigm for achieving automatic awareness of environmental elements, recognizing their meaning in a particular situation. A number of situation-aware systems have been developed that can dynamically adapt to changing environments; however, the level of situation awareness of web-based services and systems is still low, as the vast majority of existing approaches do not take into account any situational information integrated or infused from various kinds of sensors including that from mobile phone or wearable computers. The SACOM workshop aims to bring together researchers with wide-ranging backgrounds to identify important research questions, to exchange ideas from different research disciplines, and, more generally, to facilitate discussion and innovation in the area of web-based situation-aware computing.

Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:

  • E-collaboration
  • Personalized e-commerce
  • Adaptive and Personalized e-learning, m-learning and u-learning
  • Context-specific situation based reasoning
  • Mixed-reality initiatives Dialog systems
  • Recommendation Systems
  • Semantic services for mobile users
  • General semantic approaches and their applications
  • Multi-sensor fusion systems
  • Real-time multi-sensor integration
  • Real-time emergency response systems
