SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS [apologies for cross-posting]

*********************************************************************
International Joint Conference on Ambient Intelligence (AmI-11)

'Shaping the Next Decade'

November 16-18, 2011 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands, www.ami-11.org
*********************************************************************

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) represents a vision of the future in which 
products and services will be responsive to the user context, offering a 
rich
variety of applications in the professional and consumer domains. AmI 
combines concepts of ubiquitous technology, intelligent systems and advanced
user interface design putting the humans in the centre of technological 
developments. Starting as the European Symposium on Ambient Intelligence 
in 2003 the event has grown to an annual international conference that 
brings together researchers and serves as a forum to discuss the latest 
trends and solutions. Following the publication of early scenarios on 
Ambient Intelligence in 2001 by the European Commission’s Joint Research 
Centre, the theme of AmI-11
will focus on the “The Road Ahead, Shaping the Next 10 Years”

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of original, unpublished work 
in all areas related to AmI. The contributions can be research papers, 
landscape sessions, late-breaking result posters, demonstrations and 
workshops, describing significant advances in AmI on the following themes:

-Multimodal / Tangible Interaction / Natural User Interfaces
-Smart Spaces / Social Intelligence / Context Awareness
-Embedded User Interfaces
-Prototyping / Tools
-Design Methods / Evaluation
-Smart Input / Display / Vision
-Security / Privacy / Trust
-Business Models
-Knowledge Systems / Computational Intelligence / Pattern Detection
-Autonomic Systems / Agents
-Robots


Contributions are welcomed for the following conference tracks:
– FULL PAPERS (10 pages): Original, high quality research contributions 
advancing the state of the art in AmI. Work reflecting various 
interdisciplinary aspects of AmI research with clear results.

– LANDSCAPES (5 pages): These provide a forum for presenting ongoing 
work and new initiatives and activities, overviews of significant 
projects, testbeds, organizations and laboratories in the field of AmI.

– WORKSHOPS: An opportunity to meet in the context of the conference and
