Context awareness for self-managing systems (devices, applications and networks)

The CASEMANS 2007 workshop, which will be held on May 13, 2007, in conjunction with the 5th international conference on Pervasive Computing, strives to investigate the role of past and present as well as future contextual information (where a contextual information describes the dynamic aspects of people, places, devices, platforms, networks, etc.) to develop self-managing devices and networks as well as to enable dynamic cooperation and collaboration between devices to carry out a distributed, autonomous task. The workshop particularly solicits papers which demonstrate the modelling of a context along with other system components and workflows when self-managing applications, devices and networks are developed. Subsequently, we invite the submission of original unpublished research work in all areas of context-aware computing.
