Overview

In a dynamic world, applications and systems need to be aware of, and adapt to, their context, which can include parameters such as location, user's activity, goals, abilities and preferences. To facilitate reuse and ease of application development, this concern is typically addressed at the middleware level or via services. By bridging both the middleware and services domain, this workshop aims to bring together a community of researchers and practitioners in academia and industry to share recent results on context-awareness, as well as to foster collaboration and coordination of future research efforts.
