[Gerd Kortuem]

Early registration end 5 October 2007

======================================================================

Call for Participation:
The 2nd European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context (EuroSSC 2007)

October 23-25, 2007,
Castle Green Hotel, Kendal, Lake District, UK

http://www.eurossc.org

Organized by Lancaster University,
co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society

======================================================================

EuroSSC 2007, the 2nd European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context,
explores technical and human aspects of smart surroundings involving
networked embedded sensing systems and intelligent objects. In
particular, EuroSSC 2007 brings together designers, researchers,
product vendors and users to explore two complementary viewpoints:

  * A technology-driven view: concerning intelligent sensors, sensor
    networks and information processing for a new generation of
    networked devices and intelligent environments.
  * A user-driven view: exploring scenarios, applications and
    interaction methods for context-aware and pro-active applications
    made possible by the diffusion of ambient communication,
    cooperating objects, and interaction technologies.

The advance program is available at http://www.eurossc.org .
Advance registration ends on October 5th.

Please join us for an exciting conference!
