We are currently standing on the brink of a new era of computing systems: moving on from desktop computers, computing intelligence will be woven into the “fabric of everyday life”, seamlessly and almost invisibly pervading our environment and delivering services adapted to ourselves and our context of use. One of the key aspects of such user-centric pervasive-adaptive systems is their ability to sense and react to the user’s personal experience. Different aspects are taken into account: emotional state, cognitive engagement, physical conditions and social situation. The combination of these characteristics together with recognizable human behavioural patterns forms the personal awareness of the system. Additionally, information about the surroundings is gathered and used to establish environmental awareness. Considering such a setting, the overall goal of user-centric pervasive adaptation is to create systems that are able to derive, suggest and perform actions to optimize user comfort and performance, assisting people in their specific activities and situations. That implies systems tailored to the specific user, everywhere, always available, seamless and responsive to the situation in real time and life.
In order to find ways of realizing empathic user-centric pervasive adaptation, several issues have to be addressed that require research in different disciplines, from psychology and sociology to man-machine interaction and computer science. Psychology has to provide methods to sense, analyse and influence the psycho-physiological state of the users. These results could then be taken into account to optimize the design of intuitive interactions between the user and the system. The main concern of computer science is to establish a basis that allows autonomous computer systems to interpret the acquired sensor data and make reasonable decisions on which adaptation steps to conduct. Besides this, the complexity of pervasive adaptivity calls for novel software engineering approaches and architectures that are able to support the development process by addressing the special dynamic properties of the aspired systems.

CFP: 1st Int. W'shop of Self-Organization & Approximation Techniques for the Web of Data (ARCHIVE) |
Hosted at FIS2010, the 3rd Future Internet Symposium. September 20-22, 2010 - Berlin
Visit Workshop Website
The Internet of Things and the Web of Data promise a future where everything will be connected and where data can be seamlessly exchanged throughout highly heterogeneous networks. However, it is yet unclear how these incredible amounts of messy data will be dealt with. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from the Internet and Web communities with more heuristic-oriented problem-solving communities, such as the people interested in Computational Intelligence (CI) and Nature-inspired algorithms.
A particular focus will be set on the Web of Data (WoD) for which the billions of facts hosted by many different parties, represented using a variety of vocabularies with varying degrees of preciseness, and supplied in an inconsistent fashion yield a high level of messiness. This WoD highlights the scalability and robustness problems the Future Internet will have to deal with.

CFP: 2nd PerAda Workshop & SASO 2010 (ARCHIVE) |
Self Organisation in Pervasive Adaptive Systems
The prospect of building self-organising and adapting pervasive sys-tems brings many new challenges, ranging from maintaining trust and security to enabling the formation of tribes of societal artefacts. Ad-dressing these challenges will require a unified approaches, integrat-ing competencies across a range of disciplines; the goal of this work-shop is to bring together researchers working in perhaps historically distinct fields to work together in defining goals and methods that will move towards tackling the particular problems associated with deal-ing with self-organising and adaptive pervasive computing environ-ments. The workshop particularly addresses adaptation strategies (bio-inspired, stochastic or otherwise) which will operate at different time scales and speeds, from short term adaptation to long-term evo-lution, and will imply changes in software, hardware, protocols and/or architecture at different levels of granularity and abstraction.
The workshop solicits papers of the following types:
- Conceptual/Visionary papers:
Paper which present visionary or conceptual ideas which address the topic of achieving self-* properties in future pervasive systems. Note that this strand is not intended for the submission of incomplete tech-nical work but instead as a forum to present well-argued, novel ideas<./li>
- Technical papers:
papers describing technical solutions which ad-dress at least one aspect of achieving self-* properties in pervasive systems. All papers will be expected to address a topic which is relevant to com-puting in a pervasive environment. We strongly encourage papers which adopt a cross-disciplinary approach to problem-solving.
