Select papers from UCAmI 2011 - the 5th International Symposium on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence (UCAmI'11)
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 5th International Symposium on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence (UCAmI'11) will be held on 6-9 December 2011, in Riviera Maya (Mexico).
Both academia and industry are invited to submit papers about any of the following topics of interest:
- Integrating lightweight and/or mobile devices in AmI environments (telephones, RFID, consumer electronics, sensors, smart devices, etc.)
- Mobile Ad Hoc Networks support for AmI environments for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), MANETs, VANETs, etc., (architectures, protocols, etc.)
- Sensing location and context awareness (context modelling, adaptation, sentient computing, etc.)
- Human-Centric Interfaces for AmI environments
- Middleware support for AmI and ubiquitous computing environments (WSNs, MANET, VANETs, RFID, etc.)
- Artificial intelligence approaches (agents, affective computing, ontologies, semantic reasoning, etc.)
- Applications for AmI environments (e-learning, e-health, Home Automation, e-payment, ticketing, etc.)
- Specific services for AmI (service discovery, security, data delivery, coordination, etc.)
- Communication and radio technologies (NFC, Bluetooth, etc.)
- Quality attributes in AmI applications (real-time, quality of service, fault-tolerance, etc.).
- Software technologies for AmI (frameworks, components, aspect-orientation, service-orientation, software product line, etc.)
