As a consequence to this, the availability and behavior of the services that can be used with such devices has become a big concern. Moreover, the existing tools still have some limitations to face these concerns <br>properly, given the heterogeneity and the unstable presence of devices and platforms, and the great variability of situations that users might encounter. To overcome these difficulties, and promote the development and <br>widespread deployment of innovative mobile applications, more and more projects are addressing the development of context-aware adaptation mechanisms for leveraging the development of mobile applications. These <br>projects aim at providing simple but powerful integrated approaches to support the development of applications interacting in pervasive and ubiquitous environments. Thus, these projects, as well as other projects, <br>tackle the growing complexity of building large and dynamic distributed systems. With regards to this challenge, the CAMPUS workshop will focus on the promising approaches in the domain of context-aware adaptation <br>mechanisms supporting the dynamic evolution of the execution context (e.g., network/device/service failures).<br><br><br>SPECIAL THEMES<br>==============<br>This year, the workshop intends to encourage submissions related adaptation issues addressed by some emerging themes in the service computing community: <br><br>- Sensor as a Service relates to the integration of physical sensors into the service-oriented architectures in order to bridge the physical and virtual worlds and to support various kinds of adaptation styles and <br>mechanisms.<br>- Ambient Social Services relates to the integration of social networking principles at the core of service-oriented architectures in order to support adaptive IT infrastructure based on social connections.<br>- Green IT relates to the integration of energy-saving technologies using service-oriented architectures in order to create energy efficient infrastructures that can be adapted to the environment.<br><br><br>RESEARCH TOPICS<br>===============<br>The workshop will address an extensive set of topics related to adaptation mechanisms for context-aware services. The following contributions will be particularly welcome:<br><br><br>Context-awareness mechanisms for distributed systems:<br>- How to capture the relevant contextual properties of a distributed system?<br>- How to support the distribution of the context information in an efficient manner?<br>- How to enforce the security and privacy issues for context data?<br>- How to describe ontologies for context management?<br>- How to map context-awareness to situation-awareness using context reasoning?<br><br>Adaptation mechanisms for distributed systems:<br>- How to represent the adaptation knowledge of a distributed system?<br>- How to reason about pieces of software that need to be adapted in a distributed manner?<br>- How to reconfigure a distributed system with respect to the dynamic nature of the environment?<br>- How to deal with anticipated versus unanticipated adaptation?<br>- How to integrate human/computer interaction issues in adaptive systems?<br>- How to ensure robustness and transactional adaptations?<br><br>Innovative applications of context-awareness and adaptation mechanisms:<br>- Experiences in developing context-aware and adaptive applications and services,<br>- Testing and validation of adaptive applications and services,<br>- Development methodology for adaptive applications and services,<br>- Tool support for context-aware adaptation mechanisms and adaptive services,<br>- Design of platforms and infrastructures supporting context-aware adaptation mechanisms,<br>- New domains of applications for context-aware and adaptive applications and services.<br><br><br>IMPORTANT DATES<br>===============<br>Paper submission: April 08, 2011<br>Paper notification: May 06, 2011<br>Camera ready: May 20, 2011<br>Workshop: June 09, 2011<br><br><br>WORKSHOP FORMAT<br>===============<br>The workshop will be organized as a one-day event, consisting of a series of sessions, each devoted to the presentation of papers belonging to a common domain. Each session will end with a mini-panel between the <br>presenters, led by the session chair or a pre-selected devil's advocate. This year we will also like to encourage the presenters to show, when possible, a demo after the paper presentation. This format has been found to <br>lead to lively and productive discussions. The workshop will conclude with a panel, moderated by the organizers, to discuss open issues and future trends in the field, with the aim of wrapping up the overall contributions <br>of the event.<br><br><br>SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION<br>========================<br>Selection of workshop participants will be based on the submission of a paper, poster or demo. Moreover, other participants may be invited by the organizing committee. Thus, the CAMPUS program committee seeks:<br><br>Technical papers, describing concrete results achieved, in no more than 12 pages (EASST style),<br>Position papers, describing on-going work and interim results, in no more than 6 pages (EASST style).<br>Papers will be peer-reviewed, and selected based on their originality, technical strength and topical relevance. All accepted papers will be published in a special issue of Electronic Communications of the EASST. Paper <br>submission must be electronically as postscript or PDF (via the Submission website).<br><br><br>ORGANISATION COMMITTEE<br>======================<br>Gabriel Hermosillo, INRIA Lille – Nord Europe, France (Program chair)<br>Russel Nzekwa, INRIA Lille – Nord Europe, France (Publicity chair)<br>Michael Wagner, University of Kassel, Germany (Publication chair)<br><br><br>STEERING COMMITTEE<br>==================<br>Sonia Ben Mokhtar, CNRS, France<br>Frank Eliassen, University of Oslo, Norway<br>Kurt Geihs, University of Kassel, Germany<br>Svein Hallsteinsen, SINTEF ICT, Norway<br>Geir Horn, SINTEF ICT, Norway<br>Valérie Issarny, INRIA, France<br>Romain Rouvoy, University Lille 1, France<br>Lionel Seinturier, University Lille 1, France<br><br><br>PROGRAM COMMITTEE<br>=================<br>Olivier Barais, University de Rennes 1, France<br>Sonia Ben Mokhtar, CNRS, France<br>Yolande Berbers, K.U.Leuven, Belgium<br>Gordon Blair, Lancaster University, UK<br>Johann Bourcier, Irisa-Univ.
