This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context, EuroSSC 2006, held in Enschede, Netherlands in October 2006. The 15 revised full papers and 14 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from over 50 submissions.

This volume constitutes the revised papers of the 4th European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context, Euro SSC 2009, held in Guilford, UK, in September 2009. This volume consists of 16 full papers. Each paper received at least three peer reviews. The conference and proceedings were structured into 6 main tracks which discussed the key themes addressed by EuroSCC 2009: activity recognition, information aspects of context-aware sensor and actuator systems, context-aware service platforms, context processing, reasoning and fusion, real-world experiences with deployed systems, and context-aware frameworks in mobile environments.

This year marks the third edition of EuroSSC. It builds on the success of the past editions, held in Enschede, The Netherlands in 2006, and in Kendal, UK in 2007. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to welcome you to EuroSSC 2008, in Zurich, Switerland. This volume contains the invited papers and technical peer-reviewed papers selected for presentation at the conference. At EuroSSC we aim to explore technologies, algorithms, architectures, p- tocols, and user aspects underlying context-aware smart surroundings, coop- ating intelligent objects, and their applications. Since its inception, EuroSSC has taken a complementary technology-driven and user-driven view to discuss these aspects. It is one of the particularities of EuroSSC, and the 2008 edition made no exception. In addition we emphasized aspects related to quality of c- text and context-aware feedback by actuator systems. This re?ects the growing importance that context processing in uncertain environments and sensor and actuator networks take in ambient intelligence environments. We received 70 paper submissions. They originate from 30 countries of - rope, the Middle East and Africa (66%), Asia (22%), North America (9%), and South America (3%). These numbers re?ect the European origins of EuroSSC, but also show that EuroSSC is a recognized and attractive platform for parti- pants from all regions of the world.

This volume constitutes the revised papers of the 5th European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context, EuroSSC 2010, held in Passau, Germany, in November 2010. The 13 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers address topics such as applications; sensing; systems support; and higher level modeling. In addition to the Conference is a short report about the Workshop on Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) Platform included.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context, EuroSSC 2007, held in Kendal, England, October 2007. The 16 revised full papers and one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from over 51 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on spatial and motion context, human behavior as context, context frameworks and platforms and sensing technologies and case studies.

Mobile Sensors and Context-Aware Computing is a useful guide that explains how hardware, software, sensors, and operating systems converge to create a new generation of context-aware mobile applications. This cohesive guide to the mobile computing landscape demonstrates innovative mobile and sensor solutions for platforms that deliver enhanced, personalized user experiences, with examples including the fast-growing domains of mobile health and vehicular networking. Users will learn how the convergence of mobile and sensors facilitates cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Things, and how applications which directly interact with the physical world are becoming more and more compatible. The authors cover both the platform components and key issues of security, privacy, power management, and wireless interaction with other systems. Shows how sensor validation, calibration, and integration impact application design and power management Explains specific implementations for pervasive and context-aware computing, such as navigation and timing Demonstrates how mobile applications can satisfy usability concerns, such as know me, free me, link me, and express me Covers a broad range of application areas, including ad-hoc networking, gaming, and photography
