EuroSSC was held before in Enschede (NL) and Kendal (UK). Building on the success of the last years\, EuroSSC 2008 will include a highly selective single-track program for technical papers\, accompanied by posters\, demonstrations\, invited speakers\, and an industrial panel. The vision of ubiquitous computing is that of pervasive but transparent technology. Smart\, **context-aware (wireless) sensor and actuator networks (WS&AN)** bring the vision of ubiquitous computing closer to reality. Emerging smart surroundings\, objects and clothing contain networked sensing and feedback elements to infer user's needs and provide targeted context aware assistance. Networked smart sensors recognize context from raw data and/or capitalize on context to optimize sensing. Higher-level context is inferred online or within the network\, by combining and abstracting information from smart sensors. Together with networked actuators\, context-aware sensing and feedback becomes possible. This annual conference explores techniques\, algorithms\, architectures\, protocols\, and user aspects underlying context-aware smart surroundings\, and cooperating intelligent objects\, and their applications. Topics discussed include smart sensing\, context recognition\, and context processing. Of growing interest are methods and principles for context abstraction and processing given a Quality of Context that reflects context uncertainty and accuracy of smart sensors. Principles and methods for context-aware feedback through actuator networks and their applications are discussed. EuroSSC 2008 aims to bring together academic researchers and industry experts with a variety of backgrounds to explore technology\, human\, and user aspects: * Technology and system aspects: concerning intelligent sensors\, sensor and actuator networks and information processing for a new generation of networked devices and intelligent environments. * Human and user aspects: exploring scenarios\, applications and interaction methods for context-aware and pro-active applications made possible by the diffusion of ambient communication\, cooperating objects\, and interaction technologies. We welcome submission of original and unpublished technical papers\, posters\, and demonstration papers covering all areas related to smart surroundings\, context-awareness and networked embedded sensor and actuator systems. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Distributed smart sensing and context recognition o Smart sensing: sensors inferring context and context-aware sensing o Context-aware surroundings and infrastructures o Distributed objects and wearables inferring context o Algorithms and architectures for scalable context recognition o Quality of Context (context uncertainty\, unreliable sensing) * Context processing o Context reasoning\, fusion\, transformation\, inference o Context processing given Quality of Context o Scalable context management and processing architectures o Information aspects of context-aware sensor&actuator systems * Context-aware actuators\, interaction methods\, and human aspects o Principles and methods for context-aware actuation and feedback o Distributed context-aware actuators o Interaction with context-aware objects\, wearables and proactive interfaces o Quality of Actuation o Symbiosis between autonomic context-aware sensor&actuator systems and users o Social implications\, user-controlled privacy\, securing context * Applications\, deployment\, test beds and case studies o Wearable computing and pervasive computing applications o Real-world experiences with deployed systems o Applications and case studies related to smart surroundings & intelligent objects o Integration with the Internet of the Future o Development tools\, deployment principles\, and life-cycle support SUBMISSION: =========== All submitted papers will be judged based on their novelty\, clarity\, and relevance through blind reviewing\, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors of accepted submissions will have the opportunity to update their submissions based on the reviews before the final electronic copy is due. EuroSSC 2008 requires electronic submission.

Im Mittelpunkt der jeweiligen\, eintägigen Veranstaltung stehen Best-Practices- Vorträge und offene Diskussionsrunden zu aktuellen Fragestellungen der Intranet-Praxis. Themenschwerpunkt 2008 Für das Intranet FORUM 2008 stehen drei Themenschwerpunkte zur Auswahl\, deren Festlegung durch Sie bestimmt werden kann. Auf der folgenden Seite finden Sie eine grobe Beschreibung der drei Themenschwerpunkte und jeweils eine Programmskizze. Machen Sie mit und stimmen Sie für Ihren Favoriten\, den wir dann im folgenden organisieren werden. Thema 1: Intranet Governance Ein zu enges Regelkonzept behindert die Bereitschaft zur aktiven Teilnahme am Intranet\, zu lasche Richtlinien wiederum führen zu Chaos bzw. zu Kompetenz- und Besitzstandsstreitereien der verschiedenen Stakeholder. Welches Richtlinienkonzept funktioniert und die aktive Teilnahme am Informations- und Wissensaustausch im Intranet fördert\, soll Gegenstand der Diskussion dieses Themenschwerpunktes sein. Verschiedene Praxisvorträge berichten über ihre Konzeptansätze und Erfahrungswerte. In einer Open Space Session soll ein Meta-Konzept mit allen Teilnehmern erarbeitet werden\, welches als Grundlage für eine eigene Intranet Governance Strategie dienen kann. Thema 2: Intranet Redaktion Im Mittelpunkt dieses Themenschwerpunktes steht die Gestaltung der Redaktionsorganisation im Intranet. Im Gegensatz zum Internet kennzeichnen sich Intranet-Projekte schon immer durch eine größere Anzahl von Redakteuren bzw. Content-Lieferanten aus. Es galt und gilt\, die kollektive Information und das Wissen der Mitarbeiter zu Prozessen\, Geschäftsinhalten und kulturellen Unternehmensmerkmalen im Intranet festzuhalten. Während die Redaktion 1.0 eher hierarchisch organisiert war\, strukturiert sich die Redaktion 2.0 eher netzwerkartig. Mit dieser Themenausrichtung sollen verschiedene Projektansätze vorgestellt und diskutiert werden. Im Rahmen einer Open Space Session sollen die Herausforderungen und Lösungsansätze für die Redaktionsorganisation im Intranet erarbeitet werden. Thema 3: Intranet Controlling Vielerorts hat das Intranet mittlerweile eine strategische Bedeutung und damit die entsprechende Management-Relevanz\, was die Intranet-Verantwortlichen wiederum in die Pflicht nimmt\, eine aussagefähige Erfolgsbewertung über diese Aktivität durchzuführen. Während bisher der Ausweis von einfachen Traffic-Zahlen vielfach ausreichend war\, bedarf es nun eines ganzheitlichen und management-orientierteren Ansatzes. Anhand verschiedener Berichte von Projektverantwortlichen soll die Idee vom management-orientierten Intranet-Controlling diskutiert werden. In einer Open Space Session soll ein Meta-Konzept für die Konzeption und Einführung eines solchen Konzeptes entworfen werden. Intranet Management Forum Schweiz bis 30.9. bis 31.10. ab 1.11.
