ICAS 2014 - The 4th International Workshop on Intelligent Context-Aware Systems (ICAS 2014)

The aim of the workshop is to present topical and innovative research utilizing intelligent context-aware systems and technologies to address theoretical and practical issues in a diverse and heterogeneous range of application domains. This workshop provides a forum for engineers, researchers, and scientists to exchange the latest results of Intelligent Context-Aware Systems. The workshop will seek original contributions in all relevant areas addressing the fundamentals and developments in intelligent context and its use in context-aware systems including (but not limited to) the following topics:
Topics of Interest
Intelligent context-aware systems research in the fields of collaborative systems, e-Learning m-Learning and distance learning, e-UbiComp,e-Health monitoring in ‘smart-spaces’ supporting assisted living in distributed large scale networked systems, and computer mediated interactive systems using Web 2.0 applications.
The effective implementation of awareness in intelligent context-aware applications and systems including context/background awareness, intention and preference awareness, situation awareness, location awareness, risk awareness, safety awareness, opportunity awareness, and emotional awareness.
Research addressing the nature and usage of contextual information including: explicit knowledge, tacit knowledge, emotional response data, Kansei Engineering, and semiotics.
Web Technologies such as: Ontology-Based Context modeling and Semantic Web Technologies in context-aware and intelligent networking including Context-Aware Mobile and Smart information systems
Database, ontology, and Knowledge management issues in Context-Aware Systems
