Given the importance of performing context-aware adaptation in a scenario of ubiquitous, pervasive and mobile compu

ting; this workshop aims at reviewing the state-of-the-art in this domain and promoting the discussion among the interested community.

Besides, we intend to discuss positive and negative experiences, related works, and to highlight criteria and requirements that may drive context-aware adaptation in this scenario.

The workshop is organized by Francisco Javier Caminero Gil (Serenoa project coordinator), Fabio Paterno (CNR – ISTI) and Jean Vanderdonckt (UCL).

This workshop will last half a day, and participants are welcome from any background or discipline that is concerned with the main topic (Context-aware Adaptation).

The AmI-12 conference brings together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia working in the field of technologies and applications of Ambient Intelligence. Ambient Intelligence represents a vision of the future where we shall be surrounded by invisible technological means, sensitive and responsive to people and their behaviors, deliver advanced functions, services and experiences. Ambient intelligence combines concepts of ubiquitous technology, intelligent systems and advanced user interfaces putting the humans in the center of technological developments.

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of original unpublished work in all areas related to Ambient Intelligence. Contributions are solicited from, but not limited to the following topics:

• objects, devices and environments that embody ambient intelligence
• context models and context factors
• sensing and reasoning technology
• natural and multimodal interaction styles and user interfaces
• advanced interface artifacts
• end User Development for Ubiquitous Environments
• adaptation in Ambient Intelligence
• multi-device Interaction
• security, privacy and trust
• ambient intelligence services
• business model and business cases
• knowledge-based systems, computational intelligence
cialis online
• autonomic systems, multi-agent architectures and systems
• adaptive architectures, symbiotic systems
• industrial and commercial applications of ambient intelligence
• configuration and control of ambient environments by end-users
• user experience and user experience factors (e.g., acceptance)
• ambient intelligence for special target groups
• ambient intelligence applications (e.g., assisted living, future shopping)
• artifacts in ambient intelligence environments (e.g., robots)
• large scale ambient contexts (e.g., intelligent buildings, urban public spaces, smart cities)
• social media applications in ambient environments
• societal implications of ambient intelligence
• distributed software, systems, middleware and frameworks
• reflections on the current state and future of ambient intelligence
• ambient games and game scenarios
• artifacts in ambient intelligence environments (e.g., robots)
• deployments and field tests of ambient intelligence technology

All submissions will be peer reviewed. The main proceedings will appear in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Authors are invited to submit their contributions electronically via the conference website: http://www.ami-12.org.
