Information on how to attract submissions and/or participants
We are soliciting position papers from researchers and practitioners in the fields described below. These papers should focus on current projects and work areas as well as on future work items and collaboration opportunities. The first half-day will set the stage with a few selected kick-off talks and an interactive demo and poster session. In the afternoon, we dive into open discussions to provide a starting point for future collaboration. Each position paper will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee, based on quality, relevance and balance of contributions to the workshop. All position papers will be published in the LocWeb 2009 electronic proceedings. It is planned to publish revised versions of selected papers in a special journal issue such as Personal and Ubiquitous Computing.
