 OPEN
TRACK
At the time of the introduction of the
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) concept many scenarios
where considered to be visionary or even science fiction.
Enabled by current technology, many aspects of these
scenarios are slowly but inexorably becoming true.
However, we are still facing important challenges
that need further investments in research and industrialization.
Current software engineering techniques and tools
are not prepared to deal with the development of applications
for what we could call AmI ecosystems, lacking a fixed
architecture, controlled limits and even owners. The
comfortable boundaries of static architectures and
well-defined limits and owners are not existent in
these AmI ecosystems.
The combination of heterogeneity, mobility, dynamism,
sheer number of devices, along with the growing demands
in aspects such as security and dependability (S&D),
make the development of software for these ecosystems
vastly more complex and increasingly difficult. It
will be impossible, even for the most experienced
and knowledgeable developers, to foresee all possible
situations and interactions which may arise in AmI
environments, where some necessary pieces of software,
communication infrastructures and hardware devices
will not be under their control.
Furhtermore, sooner or later most essential and critical
ICT systems will be parts of AmI ecosystems. Therefore,
among the aforementioned challenges, security and
dependability appear as key issues because, together
with important benefits and advantages, these scenarios
introduce new risks and dangers. they are difficult
to control and enable novel attack vectors.
Therefore, the focus of the second edition od AmID
will be on software engineering and security engineering
practices especially adapted to the new challenges
introduced by AmI ecosystems. Original papers dealing
with AmI issues are solicited related (but not limited
to) the following topics of interest:
•
TOPICS
Software engineering
Security and Dependability
Integrated security and software engineering
Distributed architectures for AmI
Interaction mechanisms
Communication protocols
Experiences and case studies
Automated configuration and monitoring
Context awareness
Models and tools for simulation and validation
Attack models for AmI systems
AmI applications
Industrial applications of AmI technology
Business Models for AmI Applications

Submissions
Authors are invited to submit high-quality extended
abstracts of their presentation(s), including a clear
and precise title and summarizing the main ideas/contributions
and the main points of interest for the Ambient Intelligence
Developments audience. Submissions should be between
300-500 words and limited to one A4 page.
Submitted papers should be original ones, not previously
published elsewhere, publicly presented or submitted
in parallel to any other event. Submissions should
be informative, self-contained and impartial. All
submissions will be peer-reviewed by The Program Committee
based on originality, significance, quality and clarity.
The Program committee will reject any commercially-oriented
ones.

Instructions
for authors
Authors of accepted papers commit themselves
to address the comments from the Scientific
Committee and to present their paper at
the conference. The Conference Organization
allows only 1 speaking person. In case of
personal impediment of the speaking person,
the author(s) should appoint a substitute
speaker.
The speaking person is asked a compulsory
speaker registration fee – 418.60 euros
(vat included). This fee includes registration
to the conference, lunches, coffee breaks,
proceedings, access to the co-located e-Smart
and World e-ID conferences.
The other co-authors benefit from preferential
attendance rates. Speakers' travel and accommodation
expenses are not covered by the organizers.
Final version of the presentations of the
“Open Track” will be presented
in the “Proceedings” section of
the AmI.d website and available after the
conference.

"AmI.d"
is part of the well established "Smart
Event" that stands out as the MUST
attended forum on smart card, e-ID and
Ambient Intelligence. It hosts 4 international
events:
- e-Smart, the leading smart
card industry conference (Sept. 19-21,
2007)
- World e-ID, dedicated to the
electronic ID management and applications
(Sept. 19-21, 2007)
- Smart University, educational
program in smart card, ID and AmI technologies,
designed and delivered by high level
academics (Sept. 17-20, 2007)
- AmId, conference dedicated
to Ambient Intelligence Developments
(Sept. 17-19, 2007)
As a whole, the Smart Event is endorsed
by over 35 worldwide organizations and over
650 participants are expected to attend
the 2007 edition |
