***************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS: Context Aware Intelligent Assistance (CAIA 2011) ***************************************************************** located at KI-2011, Technical University, Berlin Tuesday, October 04, 2011 http://ursaminor.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/CAIA2011 ***************************************************************** CAIA 2011 is the successor of last year?s workshop (CAIA 2010) where a consensus was researched about defining assistance as a concept relative to a main task or purpose of a system or user. This year we want to gain a more in-depth understanding of this definition of assistance in context by studying interesting applications and investigating how far the definitions take us and how they should be refined or revised. We are especially interested in the interplay of context and assistance, as both are relative concepts. We invite researchers and practitioners in the fields of recommender systems, pervasive computing, mobile computing, urban sensing, social networking, context-aware systems, human computer interaction, or similar, working on Assistance Systems?either from an application centered or a theoretical point of view?to present their work at CAIA 2011. ***************************************************************** Important Dates ***************************************************************** Deadline for Submission: July 1, 2011 Notification of Authors: July 15, 2011 Final Version of Papers: August 1, 2011 Workshop Date: Tuesday, October 04, 2011 ***************************************************************** Topics of Interest ***************************************************************** Topics include, but are not limited to: ? Formal models of preferences and contexts - Reasoning about preferences in contexts -Context modeling -User preference oriented route planning ? User needs and applications - location based services - social networks - navigation and planning of transportation ? Mobile recommendations - collaborative filtering - Interaction of social networks and mobile recommendation - Mobile feedback and interpretation of user tags - Semantic aggregation of web 2.0 information and services - Group recommendations ? Reasoning - Case based reasoning in mobile recommendation - Mobile speech technology and NLP - Dynamic environmental attributes (DEA) - Multiple goal recommendation - Event ontologies Demos and applications are most welcome! ***************************************************************** Submission Details ***************************************************************** Papers should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines. The length of each paper should be between 5 and 10 pages. All papers must be written in English and submitted in PDF format via http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caia2011. Papers could (for instance) report on recent results, introduce new ideas as position papers or discuss interesting future research questions. Publication options are currently evaluated. We will probably offer a ?cite-able? online publication format. At least one author of an accepted paper has to attend the workshop in order for the paper to be published in the workshop proceedings. ***************************************************************** Workshop Organizers ***************************************************************** Stefan Mandl, Univ.
