We are pleased to announce that Dr.Shionozaki of Koozyt (PlaceEngine) will be a Keynote Speaker for LoCA 2009.
LOCA 2009 publishs new and significant research on systems, services, and applications to detect, interpret and use location and other contextual information. With context, we can expect computers to deliver information, services, and entertainment in a way that maximises convenience and minimises intrusion. Developing this awareness involves research in sensing, systems, machine learning, human computer interaction and design. Best paper and presentation awards will be presented during the symposium. All accepted papers will be contained in the symposium proceedings which will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer which are now online.
