11th Consortium Meeting
The 11th consortium meeting of Serenoa project will take place in Madrid-Spain, at TID venues, on January 30th and 31st. The participants of the project will present and discuss the progress of their works and also synchronize the efforts regarding the next deliverables to be produced. Serenoa reaches in 2013 its last year and this next face-to-face meeting aims at planning the following months of the project by: organizing the partners’ efforts in order to produce and release the 16 pending deliverables, progressing with the organization of the future dissemination actions, including the second workshop (CASFE’2013), and also discussing the latest achievements in terms of applications, tools and editors that are currently under development.
Serenoa has recently received the technical review report, which presents the feedback about the project results regarding its 2nd year period. Based on the achievements and progress of Serenoa project, the european reviewers and the commission have approved the continuity of Serenoa. The progress of the project was reported mainly by means of deliverables, reports, presentations and demonstrations.
Although all deliverables have been successfully approved, i.e. without any modification required, a set of recommendations was suggested. These recommendations concern, among other topics, the evaluation plan decisions and the coverage of context.
The dissemination of the project results was considered satisfactory. In particular, the academic dissemination and the standardization efforts have been appreciated.

To achieve the next goals for the project during its future phases, all recommendations proposed will be carefully taken into account.
The 1st Serenoa Workshop, named CASFE’2012, was held on November 13th at CNR/ISTI venue and co-located with the AmI’2012 conference. The workshop was organized in 10 presentations covering different aspects of context-aware adaptation, such as: frameworks, applications, tools, algorithms, languages, and evaluation. 20 participants from research institutes, universities and industrial domains, were involved in presenting and discussing the current trends and the state-of-the-art about adaptation. All the papers were submitted via EasyChair and all the reviewed versions of the documents approved will be soon publicly available online at the workshop website, at: http://www.serenoa-fp7.eu/casfe2012/workshop-agenda/
The 2nd year review meeting of Serenoa project took place on November 12th at CNR/ISTI venue in Pisa – Italy. 16 participants were involved in informing, and discussing the main last achievements and reports submitted during the last period of the project. During the 16 presentations conducted and 5 demonstrations done, the work progress was presented and discussed by the project partners, project officer and the reviewers. All the deliverables were successfully approved and the work progress was considered good. Further clarifications though, were required regarding the concrete exploitation actions of the project and also more concrete motivations concerning the adoption of machine learning algorithms for specific adaptation scenarios.
The members of Serenoa project conducted a consortium meeting on November 7th and 8th in order to prepare and refine the presentations for the next review meeting. The next review meeting counts with 16 participants, that are responsible for present
ing and discussing the results achieved during the last period of the project. The presentations cover the tasks of the 8 work packages of Serenoa and their respective deliverables that have been recently submitted. This next review meeting will take place on November 12th and it will be followed by the 1st Serenoa workshop: CASFE’2012 (on November 13th).
The Serenoa workshop, named CASFE’2012, will be co-located with the AmI Conference, dedicated to discuss, among other topics, the context-aware adaptation in intelligent environments. CASFE’2012 is organized in 10 presentations covering topics as: Frameworks, Tools, Evaluation, Applications and Prototypes for context-aware adaptation. Participants from both industrial and scientific domains are expected. The papers and slides of the presentations will be both published online soon in the webpage of the workshop.
The review meeting, the CASFE’2012 workshop and the AmI conference will take place in Pisa – Italy at CNR – ISTI venue.
The members of the Serenoa project from UCL, CTIC, W3C and CNR attended in Lyon (France) the TPAC meeting of W3C and participated of the third face to face meeting of the MBUI working group. The meeting took place on October 29th and 30th and it was dedicated to discuss the open issues regarding the abstract UI model and the introduction document (use cases, benefits and problem space). The face to face meetings are a great opportunity for progressing with the specifications and documents and also for promoting discussions and exchange of experiences among the participants of the group and external members.

The dates and place for the next face to face meeting of the group are not defined yet, however a set of tasks was planned for the coming months. Mainly they cover the publication of the AUI model as a public draft, refinements in the conceptual definitions and synchronization between task and AUI models.
On October 10th and 11th two important dissemination activities of Serenoa took place. Such activities contribute to promote the project and its last achievements:
- On October 10th, Jean Vanderdonckt participated as a keynote speaker for the II Congreso Internacional de Ingeniería de Software. This international conference is dedicated to MDE, Software Architecture, HCI and Industrial Automatization. This 3-days event (from October 10th to 12th) is taking place at the Facultad de Ingeniería of the University of Quindío (Armenia). This conference counts with the participation of recognized experts in the domains of interest, such as Len Bass and Oscar Pastor. UCL speech presented a review about animation techniques for user interface design, a relevant approach for presenting adaptation results to end users without causing a significant disruption. The slides of the presentation are already available and they can be publicly accessed online in Slideshare.
- On October 10th and 11th, W4 participated on the Mobility for Business, an event dedicated to mobile technologies. Jean-Loup Comeliau and Nicolas (W4) represented the project during the event, presenting its definition, goals, beneficiaries and main results. A Serenoa poster was prepared and exhibited, in order to inform the event participants about the project. This poster is also available online and can be accessed at the Serenoa website.

To fully enable the great potential of service provisioning scenarios considering a growing diversity of users, constant Internet access and several devices, context-awareness, known as the ability to provide services with full awareness of current e
xecution environment, is widely recognized as one of the cornerstones to build modern mobile and ubiquitous systems.
Service adaptation is triggered by received context data: hence, context data have to be timely delivered to let services promptly adapt to the current execution context. However, the middleware has to transparently manage and route huge amounts of context data, while ensuring timely delivery to mobile nodes: especially in wide-area mobile networks, that can lead to non-negligible overhead, thus hindering both system scalability and reliability.
Existing systems already exploit contextual attributes to trigger management functions and to adapt services. For instance, Google and Facebook dynamically adapt to the current characteristics of mobile devices, Web clients, and connectivity (such as the available bandwidth).
By considering mainly four context dimensions: computing, physical, time and user, different context-aware behaviors can be realized to adapt services so to make them satisfactory for final user and to fit current execution environment characteristics. Toward this goal, the quality of the context data is a fundamental issue since it can compromise the correctness of adaptation operations.
Although many benefits can be provided with context-aware adaptation, still, an in-depth analysis of the context data distribution is missing. Starting from the core assumption that only effective and efficient context data distribution can pave the way to the deployment of truly context-aware services, Bellavista et al. (2012) published a paper aiming at putting together current research efforts to derive an holistic view of the existing literature. They presented a unified architectural model and a new taxonomy for context data distribution, by considering and comparing a large number of solutions.
