Dear colleagues,
[ Apologies for the crossposting or if you get multiple copies of this email ]
Final call for papers for the 3rd International Workshop
on Software Engineering for Context Aware Systems and Applications
SECASA 2010
a Special Session in SERA 2010
8th ACIS International Conference on
Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA2010)
Monday, May 24 â Wednesday, May 26, 2010
Montreal, Canada
http://users.encs.concordia.ca/~sera2010/
Sponsored by
International Association for Computer and Information Science (ACIS)
In cooperation with
IEEE Montreal Section, Concordia University, Ãcole de technologie supérieure
(ETS)
Overview
We call for original contributions on the theme of context-aware computing,
focusing both on the development of practical context-aware systems and
application and on the theory to support this development. Context-aware
concepts are readily found in multiple applications, including distributed and
mobile computing, adaptive Web applications, distributed operating systems, and
distributed communities for social networking and user collaboration. More
generally, context-aware computing requires that the behavior of a piece of
software be aware of, and adapt to a set of underlying runtime contexts and
changes thereto, where the contexts are external varying environments that may
affect computation. Examples of such external environments or contexts involve
time, location, situation, and user profile. Context-aware programming means
writing software programs that specify how computations or behaviors of
context-aware applications depend on or vary in underlying contexts. Of par!
ticular interest are theoretical approaches to the problem of
context-awareness. For example, applying intensional concepts, with possible
world semantics, to context-aware computing and programming should help build a
solid theoretical foundation for engineering context-aware software systems and
applications. Topics of interest include all aspects of software engineering
for developing context aware systems and applications. Research papers as well
as papers reporting practical experiences and applications of the above topics
are all welcome.
Topics include but are not restricted to:
- Software development process for context-aware systems and applications
- Requirements engineering for context-aware systems and applications
- Context-aware software design and development process
- Modeling and simulation of context-aware systems and applications
- Formalism and abstraction of context-awareness in systems and applications
- Software architecture and design patterns of context-aware systems
applications
- Quality of context-aware systems and applications
- Programming languages and systems for context-aware systems and applications
- Testing, verification, and validation of context-aware systems and
applications
Submission, Review, and Publication
Papers will be submitted in PDF format following the SERA2010 template.
The papers are due on: February 1st, 2010. The authors will receive acceptance
notifications on March 1st, 2010. The camera ready papers & registration
deadline is March 15th, 2010.
Submitted papers must not be previously published or be under consideration for
publication elsewhere. All papers accepted for the session will be published in
the proceedings of the 8th ACIS International Conference on Software
Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA2010). The selection
procedure includes a review of each paper by at least three SERA2010 PC
members. Experience papers will be accepted based on the relevance of the
problems they tackle. Research papers will be accepted based on the relevance
of the research questions to practice and the soundness of the research method
deployed.
