SmartE 2015 - The 2nd International Workshop on Smart Environments: Closing the Loop

Smart Environments provide an important application domain for pervasive computing. Smart environments require sensing information from the environment; reasoning over the data to infer events, context, activities, behavior, phenomena etc.; and acting or actuating to change the environment or the user behavior in order to achieve specific goals. Many researchers have focused on one of these three aspects (sensing, reasoning and acting), but little attention has been given to the challenges in integrating each aspect into a coherent whole, or “closing the loop”. The SmartE workshop will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of novel research ideas or actual deployments focused on closing the sense-reason-act loop.
