This topic includes a comparison of different indoor and outdoor location sensing approaches, as for example ActiveBat, ActiveBadge, GALILEO, GLONASS, or GPS. The focus of this topic will be the recognition in smart environments and in wearable computing. To support the user in a smart way, a mobile device can use context information. This context can be defined by sensor data (as location, light, temperature, time of day or week, body-sensor data, proximity to other devices) or by user data (Personal schedule, contact list, tasks, user profile). The expressiveness of the data is limited if examined isolated, therefore recurring combinations need to be identified and interpreted as a specific situation. This topic aims to present the approach of formal concept analysis in combination with cluster techniques. First ideas need to be expressed, how a automatic or semi-automatic identification of situations might be used. This topic is about to focus the context and location-awareness for divers mobile devices as for example mobile phones. A survey of context-aware programming languages is aimed, as well as a comparison of a range of approaches: The emergence of mobile devices has enforced the rapid evolvement of the Mobile Web. While the WWW offers Web Services for users in nearly all situations of every day life, there is a lack of search engines which support the users in finding adequate services. As the service need of mobile users depends on their actual context situation, the consideration of the user context is promising for mobile service discovery. Seminar topics: Smart buildings are regular buildings providing an embedded computational infrastructure: Sensors, displays etc. are integrated into the builing matter and form a Smart Environment. This seminar topic deals with the applications anticipated for such buildings: Wireless networking capabilities of mobile devices like PDAs or cellphones can support social groups by forming ad-hoc networks and provide distributed applications. What are the applications realized today, what is envisioned by researchers? Mobile devices come in a variety of display and interaction capabilities: Display-Resolution, size and orientation, input patterns etc. can be different from one device to the other or even change during runtime. Flexible User Interfaces are designed to cope with those challenges and adapt itself due to the current working environment or user context. Usually applications are secured by restricting access rules for users based on their roles and authentication. Here, the topic is the idea to take the current user's location or further context data into account for securing the system. Thus, depending on your current situation you might get different access rights to currently relevant This could be relevant for example to support mobility on the job or equip guest in large organizations with suitable access. Autonomous Computing covers the emergence of complex global behavior induced by simple local rules on cooperating simple processing units. A well-known example is the game of life. Ubiquitous Computing covers scenarios where mobile applications behave differently in different contexts and the user's device adapts itself to its environment. Cooperative scenarios are also covered. This subject asks: ContextL is a CLOS extension to provide context-oriented programming in Lisp. Details can be found here. This subject will mix theoretical and practical studies: AmbientTalk is an experimental language specific for ubiquitous computing.
