The casemans proceedings is now available online at ACM's portal.
Organizers thank all participants so much for making CASEMANS 2009 active and fruitful workshop.(photos)
Selected, high quality papers will be eligible for publication in a Special Issue of the International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communication Systems (IJAACS)
Computing systems are becoming inexpensive, complex in their computing power, and heterogeneous. At the same time, the users of these systems are usually mobile and demand greater flexibility and efficiency in terms of response time, resource utilisation, robustness, etc., to achieve critical business goals. The implication is that operating and maintaining computing systems is becoming an increasingly expensive business. The high cost of ownership of computing systems has resulted in a number of industry initiatives to reduce the burden of operations and management by making computing systems self-managing.
The CASEMANS 2009 workshop strives to investigate the role context-aware computing plays in developing self-managing systems: devices, applications, middleware, and networks. Self-managing systems in the context of autonomous computing and context-aware computing are investigated extensively in the past independently. What we are interested is in identifying common features of both so that experiences learned in context-aware computing can be applied indeveloping self-managing (autonomous) systems.
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 Subsequently, we invite the submission of original unpublished research work in all areas of context-aware computing. Relevant topics include - but not limited to - the following:
- Infrastructure for context-awareness
- Context reasoning
- Context-based actuation
- Context-based adaptation
- Middle-ware for context-aware computing
- Context-based self-organisation of devices, services, applications, networks
- Context-based device cooperation
- Context-based service composition
- Adaptive and context-based multimodal interaction
- context-Aware middleware
- Self-Managing devices
- Self-Managing middleware
- Self-managing networks
