UAS 2010

10-12 May 2010 | Barcelona, Spain

SCOPE:

The idea of User Adaptive Systems (UAS) is in interaction between user and system through his mobile device. Such interconnection can behold in the reaction on user's non declared requests. These requests include namely user current position, user future-predicted position, his movement and tracking. By the combination of these requests in conjunction with other sources of user’s knowledge and behaviors, the sophisticated information system can be developed as UAS. Such developed UAS can be widely implemented to Mobile Information Systems as important part for user requests processing, position tracking, user behaviors, etc.

The UAS also may take advantages of Location Based Systems oriented to providing information support based on current user’s position. The conjunction of both systems will lead to a development of smart complex systems with a higher level of interaction and intelligence addressing more complex environment especially in current cities, industrial parks and buildings.

The UAS workshop will be linked to Mobilight 2010 conference in these topics:

• Pervasive and wearable computing
• Lightweight devices architecture
• Internetworking and interoperability
• Anytime, Anywhere, Any device
• Interactive multimedia
• Ambient assisted living
• Usability and HMI
  
• Location and context aware services
  
• Emerging and next generation services
  
• Architectures deployment
  
• Next generation lightweight devices
  
• Users’ needs and requirements
  
• Available and emerging solutions
  

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different fields of expertise, lead to a better understanding between them, and to promote interaction in this new and interdisciplinary area. All in all, we want to create an opportunity for the participants to exchange about a wide range of topics related to pervasive adaptation and “awareness of the user”, covering theoretical aspects as well as algorithms, practical methods, concrete applications, system architectures or use cases. Topics to be covered by UAS workshop include:

• User centric adaptivity in Mobile Information Systems
  
• Innovative architecture and infrastructure of User Adaptive Systems for algorithms and methods implementation in Mobile Information Systems
  
• Advanced Computational techniques of User Adaptive Systems
• e-health and Bio-Telemetry in User Adaptive Systems for Mobile Information Systems
  
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for User Adaptive Systems in Mobile Information Systems
  
• Facility management interacting with User Adaptive Systems
  
• Location based services supporting User Adaptive Systems
