Call for Papers Scope Ambient media and systems culminate from the emergence of mobile communication, sensor-actuator technology, virtual environments, and interactive computing. They represent the vision of an all-encompassing multimedia networking environment with human interaction at its core. Advances in computer and communication technologies have the potential to offer people an unprecedented level of convenience and flexibility for living and working. Such technologies need to be closely integrated with human interactions and activity, allowing greater support for smart solutions that improve quality of life, productivity, understanding and intelligence within their situated environment. Ambi-Sys focuses on emerging technologies, services and solutions for new, human-centric intelligent ambient environments. The conference is structured into the following areas, each of which focuses on improving the state-of-the-art for ambient media and systems: Media and Content Provision Integration of multimedia within ambient systems Multi-media processing, distribution and integration Provision and acquisition of ambient information Privacy, trust accountability and dependability Cognition, intelligence, ambience, adaptivity, self-organization and evolution Multimedia and intelligent agents Communications and Networking Wireless communication Ambient sensors, actuators and networking Quality of service and system performance The digital home and smart living Evolve-able and adaptive pervasive systems Scalability, integration, and ubiquity Human Interface and Interaction Haptic immersive environments Vision and recognition Visualization and display Sensor perception technologies Context awareness System personalization System and human collaboration Intelligence and Automation Ambient Intelligence Services, delivery, applications and smart solutions Multi-media knowledge management, acquisition and data fusion Detection and knowledge elicitation Prediction and self-learning Middleware Human-computer interaction in technology-rich environments Publication in Journal Special Issues and Proceedings The proceedings of the conference will be submitted to the ACM for inclusion in their digital library. Authors of select papers will be invited to extend their work for special issues of either the Inderscience journal: The International Journal of Mobile Network Design and Innovation or the IGI journal: The International Journal of Interdisciplinary Telecommunications and Networking (both edited by the General Chair of the conference).   Paper submission Ambi-Sys 2009 invites original manuscripts not previously published, or currently under review, in another conference or journal.
