The 3rd International Workshop on the modeling and retrieval of Context (MRC 2006) will include a session for live system demonstrations. This is an opportunity to show and discuss emerging technologies and recent research prototypes with key researchers in the Mobile and Context-Aware Computing research domains.
Proposals Proposals should clearly state what the proposed demonstrator will show. Demonstrations should be in keeping with the primary topics of interest for the main workshop. Potential topics for demonstrations therefore include but are not limited to: - Generic and specific context models
- Explicit representations
- Retrieval of context and context information
- Context-based retrieval and reasoning
- Matching context and situation
- Context-awareness in applications
- Evaluations of context-aware applications
- Explanation and context
- Mobile context
- Context-focusing and context-switching
- Context aquisition and management
- Context and learning
- Trust
- Reliability
Demonstrations should show how context and context-aware computing systems and applications can be realized with state of the art (mobile) technology. A brief but comprehensive description (limited to 2 pages, 12pt font) of the demonstrationshould address: - the kind of demonstrator, e.g. video or live prototype presentation
- the required technical equipment, e.g. Wireless LAN
- a description of the demo presentation, e.g. are visitors involved
- is the prototype presented or can delegates interact with the system
In addition to your description, proposals may include system screenshots or diagrams of the proposed setup offered to workshop delegates. It should be noted that, at present, only power sockets and a table to demo your work should be assumed. If any further facilities are required, this must be clearly indicated in the proposal. MRC 2006 will attempt to accommodate presenter needs if possible but cannot guarantee additional facilities. The proposal should put special emphasis on the key research contribution, that is, what will a delegate viewing or interacting with the demo remember or take away with them for future use. A good research demonstrator should stimulate discussion and provide useful insights. Finally, each demo proposal should include a brief description of the project from which the demonstrator originates and a link to the project homepage, if available. A short biography of the main author of the proposal should also be included. Submission deadline: 27 May 2006
Notification of Acceptance: 2 June 2006
Proposals should be sent via email as PDF to: Sven Schwarz (
