 RESEARCH
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

Instructions
for authors
Submitted papers should be original ones,
not previously published elsewhere, publicly
presented or submitted in parallel to any
other event, of not more than 10 pages of
single column text using single spaced 10
point size. 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.
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.

"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 |
