CONTEXTS 2012 - Workshop on User-Centric Technologies and Applications

CONTEXTS aims at presenting and discussing the key elements in frontier communications and location technologies, data processing and multisensory fusion and the paradigms for intelligent/adaptative management, that will make feasible the development of advanced applications for ambient intelligence. In this context, the concept of "feasibility" gathers together technology and service requirements and business model viability. On the other hand, the broad concept of "ambient intelligence" should be here understood as one where mobile services, whichever they are, are provided to the final user in a transparent, ubiquitous, continuous and personalized way.
This workshop is organized by Madrinet, CONTEXTS is one of the largest cooperative research programs being realized in Madrid with the participation of institutions from all over Spain. It was selected for funding after a rigorous competitive evaluation. Its main objectives on the one hand, advancing the key elements in frontier communications, location and sensor fusion technologies and, on the other hand, conceiving and developing advanced wireless applications and ambient intelligence services.
