================================================ 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS for the Fourth CoSDEO Workshop Device-Free Radio-Based Recognition (http://cosdeo.teco.edu/2013/)

in conjunction with 2013 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2013) (http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2013/)

in Zurich, Switzerland, September 9-12, 2013 ================================================

The 4th CoSDEO-workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems, algorithms or models for the device-free, radio-based recognition of contexts.

Recently, using analysis of signal distortions in a typical radio network to derive contexts such as location, type or activity of an object not outfitted with a radio receives a growing amount of attention from researchers. The possibility to acquire context information without instrumenting users and without the drawbacks of e.g. optical systems has great potential for typical applications of Ubiquitous Computing. Radio signals are inherently noisy and signal changes depend on a variety of environmental and sensor-specific factors.

It is therefore the goal of CosDEO 4th to provide a publication and discussion platform for this growing community in which fundamental problems but also sophisticated approaches can be presented. Thus, we like to encourage scientists in all stages of their research, from first experiments to readily developed and evaluated systems, to submit their original work to allow a broad discussion with established field experts but also researchers relatively new to the field. Even if work is in a very early stage all submitted work must conform to typical scientific standards; providing a good overview of the field and the specific area of the context of interest. If the paper is based on a technical system the system should be described and discussed thoroughly. Besides regular papers, we also encourage submission of visionary papers which must not describe completed research but contain ideas new to the field. These maybe related to novel techniques for the radio-based detection of contexts but also novel applications and designs of device-free radio-based context recognition systems.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Design aspects of device-free radio-based recognition systems - General experimental work and field studies on device-free radio-based recognition - Models/algorithms for recognizing contexts using device-free radio-based sensors - Reports on the evaluation of device-free radio-based recognition systems - Investigations directed at signal processing, recognition robustness, signal sampling, etc. for device-free radio-based recognition - Investigations directed at feasibility of recognizing novel classes using radio frequency signal analysis - System architectures for device-free radio-based recognition - Monitoring of attention levels by device-free radio-based sensing systems - Algorithms/methods enabling device-free sensing using existing and novel radio hardware
