This event will be held in Dublin, Ireland on 8th to 10th May, in association with the Irish presidency of the Council of the EU.

The European Commission, in collaboration with EU Presidencies has, since 2008, hosted regular Future Internet Assembly events (FIA, http://www.future-internet.eu). FIA is a research community driven initiative supported by more than 150 research projects that have recognised the need to strengthen European activities on the Future Internet (FI) to main

tain European competitiveness in the global marketplace. In particular, these projects have identified the urgent need to redesign significant part of the Internet, taking a broad multidisciplinary approach, to meet European societal, business and technology ambitions.

Participants are members of the FI community, who include the national and EU project coordinators and partners of FP7 funded projects both academic and industry researchers.

The deadline for submission of papers has been extended. It is due to April 29th. We invite all the community investigating context-aware adaptation and related topics to submit their works. Further information can be found in CASFE'2013 website at: http://www.serenoa-fp7.eu/casfe2013/

of the characteristics and constraints of the context of the user becomes challenging when several user’s profiles, platforms and environments are considered. In this sense the adaptation of user interfaces raises as an important approach for stakeholders aiming at implementing and providing systems whose user interfaces are usable, regardless of their context of use. In 2012 during the first CASFE workshop we discussed potential models, frameworks and practical applications that aim at supporting, facilitating and improving the development of adaptive and adaptable systems. CASFE’2013 aims at joining experts in the domain of context-aware adaptation in order to present and discuss its state-of -the-art.

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.

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

• 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)

The MDDay, or La journée du Model driven, is an event dedicated to Model Driven approaches. Experts in this domain, such as practitioners, researchers, clients, The fifth edition of the MDDay will take place in Paris on 24th of November.

The MDDay, or La journée du Model driven, is an event dedicated to Model Driven approaches. Experts in this domain, such as practitioners, researchers, clients,

users and developers, will present related concepts (MDA, UML, SOA), exchange experiences, discuss model driven solutions, and provide some future perspectives.

The goals of the MDDay are to present cases of application of model driven approaches, evaluate these approaches in the context of complex projects, identify the advantages in short, medium and long term, etc.

The topics of discussion include, but are not limited to:

• Agile development
• MD approaches and users
• Performance of applications
• Quality of code
• Benefits of model-driven approaches

The MDDay is organized by 11 companies, and the Serenoa Project wil be represented there by W4 and UCL.
