EUSPAI 2015 - 2nd workshop on End-user Service Provision for Ambient Intelligence

Workshop Goals: Ambient Intelligence is applied to many scenarios, ranging from smart cities to emergency situations, including health care, social learning, etc. In these scenarios users consume AmI services with context awareness features, enabling interaction with sensors and embedded systems, context recognition, and communications.
Research in services for AmI over the past 15 years has focused on the need of multimodal interfaces and natural interaction mechanisms with the ambient environment, related to the field of human-computer interactions. Recently, the evolution of the society reflects more participative users, which not only share contents but also the logic to access, process and represent this content, in the form of applications and services.
These users, often called Prosumers or End-user programmers have technical difficulties to create and share useful services that take advantage of the capabilities of ambient environments. Some of these challenges are the selection of the most appropriate creation strategy, the adaptation of services to changes in the environment or dealing with the heterogeneity of sensors and actuators.
After the great success of this workshop in UCAmI-2014, this second edition of EUSPAI seeks scientific works that contribute to enable the end-user service provision in this kind of environments, facilitating their development, interaction, composition, identification, monitoring, communication with sensors and actuators, etc. EUSPAI-2015 is aiming at delivering a forum for in-depth scientific discussions, leading to significant contributions.
