international workshop on data management in context-aware
computing
(dmcac 2008)
april 27th - 30th
2008
in conjunction with international conference on mobile data
management (mdm
2008)
general overview
context-awareness
a generaliza tion
of location-awareness is perceived as an enabling technology for
pervasive / ubiquitous computing. it is aimed at acquiring and utilizing
information about the context of a device to provide services that are
appropriate to particular people
place
time
events
etc. such systems can promote and mediate
people's interactions with devices
computers
and other people
and they
can help navigate unfamiliar places. context-aware systems with smart
programs in years to come will enhance
personal and group productivity by proactively executing time-consuming
processes to meet human requirements.
the goal of this
workshop is to address and discuss the technical challenges and research
results in data management in context-aware computing. the workshop is a
platform to propose new positioning algorithms and location sensing
techniques
including new techniques and studies into the properties of
existing technologies.
we solicit
submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and
systems and that propose new directions of research
advocate
non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas
or generate controversy
and discussion. the workshop provides a general platform for
academicians
researchers
students
engineers and industries to present
their unpublished research findings in any field of mobile computing and
systems
and other related areas.
