Dear Colleagues,

this is to inform you of an extension of the deadline for ACM UBICOMP 2012 Workshop CASEMANS 2012.

A new (firm) deadline was set for JUNE 8 23:59 CEST 2012. For your information, please find again

herein a copy of the call for papers.

Please note how the workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM and will be indexed

accordingly, and that the electronic version of the proceedings will be made available 

online at the ACM Digital Library.

Kind regards,

Waltenegus, Juha, and Vincenzo.

ACM UBICOMP/CASEMANS 2012 - Call for papers

Cloud computing, autonomic computing, pervasive computing, and 

mobile computing tend to be converging to maximize the combined

benefits of these paradigms. A large number of applications can take

advantage of this, including healthcare, traffic control, and

social network applications. However, these applications are complex

by nature and introduce several challenges of their own, for example,

reliable sensing, accurate context recognition, scalability, security,

dealing with previously unforeseen side-effects of adaptations, 

and so on. These challenges can be meaningfully addressed when

researchers of diverse background come together to provide different

views of the same problems and to help each other understand

the complex relationships between contending ideas. 

The Casemans 2012 workshop aims to open a platform for researchers

of ubiquitous computing, autonomic computing, and similar fields

to address these issues.

This year, we are building on the success of casemans 2011 

by introducing full and short paper sessions. Full papers 

will demonstrate solid research results (4-6 ACM pages) 

while short papers (typically 2 ACM Pages) demonstrate 

visionary, critical and even controversial ideas and work-in-progress

that can encourage discussion and further research.

Scope

The scope of the workshop can be described by the following terms:

- Context-awareness in cloud computing

- Context-awareness in energy-efficient computing

- Context-awareness in smart spaces

- context-awareness in wireless sensor networks

- Context-awareness in social networking

- Context-awareness in robotics

- Context-awareness in multimedia content distribution

- 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 

(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). 

All paper submissions will be handled electronically by Easychair

(https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=casemans2012).

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 PDF format and conform to the ACM guidelines.

Important Dates

Paper submission -- JUNE 8 (FIRM DEADLINE).
