Call for Papers

The “2nd International Workshop on Context Aware Middleware for Ubiquitous Computing Environments”(CAM12) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE AINA 2012 in Fukuoka, Japan from March 26 to 29, 2012. After the success of the CAM11 ,the aim of this workshop is to gather researchers in the emerging area of context awareness to exchange knowledge and ideas. CAM12 will feature world-renowned keynote speakers and excellent invited talks to discuss the state-of-the-art in this area.
Context is a fundamental concept in the pervasive computing paradigm, which is defined as any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity. A context aware application always uses context to adapt its behavior and provide improved and pervasive services to the users. The main challenge to implement a context aware application is discovering and obtaining the required context. Context aware middlewares aim to facilitate the development of context aware applications. In general, the task of a context aware middleware is firstly discovering context sources; and then gathering, aggregating, modeling, conflict resolving, and reasoning context; and finally creating transparent mechanisms for context aware applications to obtain their context needs. CAM12 invites authors to submit their papers that address issues related to context awareness. Topics of interest are included but not limited to:

• Local /Multi-Domain Context aware middleware

• Local /Multi-Domain Context management architecture/framework

• Mobility issues in Context Management

• Scalability issues in Context Management

• Context discovery

• Context aggregation

• Context modeling and reasoning

• Context distribution/dissemination. 

• Context aware applications

Submission

CAM12 seeks original, previously unpublished, not currently under review by another conference or journal manuscripts, describing research in all aspects of context awareness that contribute to the workshop theme. All papers will be peer reviewed, and acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. The total length of a paper should not exceed 8 pages formatted according to the IEEE Template.
 Accepted papers will be published and indexed in IEEE Xplore. Distinguished papers accepted and presented at the CAM12, after further revisions, will be published in special issues of prestigious international journals.

Papers must be submitted via the edas submission website in pdf format. Alternatively, Authors could also submit their paper by sending the pdf version to the following email address camsubmission@gmail.com. In this case, within 48 hours author(s) will receive an account  for tracking their paper in the conference submission website.
