5th CoSDEO workshop on Contact-Free Ambient Sensing, Localization and Tracking

The 5th CoSDEO ­workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems, algorithms or models the contact-free ambient sensing, localization and tracking.

Recently, contact-­free and device-­free sensing for situation and activity recognition as well as localization and tracking receives growing attention. The possibility to acquire information without instrumenting users and without the drawbacks of e.g. optical systems has great potential for typical applications of Ubiquitous Computing. It is the goal of CosDEO 5th to provide a publication and discussion platform for this growing community in which fundamental problems but also sophisticated approaches can be presented.

Thus, we like to encourage scientists in all stages of their research, from first experiments to readily developed and evaluated systems, to submit their original work to allow a broad discussion with established field experts but also researchers relatively new to the field. Even if work is in a very early stage all submitted work must conform to typical scientific requirements; showing a good overview of the field and the specific area of the context of interest. If the paper is based on a technical system the system should be described and discussed thoroughly. Besides regular papers, we also encourage submission of visionary papers which must not describe completed research but contain ideas new to the field. These maybe related to novel techniques for contact-free ambient sensing contexts but also novel applications and designs of this sensing paradigm.
