Workshop Aims:
The primary objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for networking among Australian researchers working in this area - leading on to potential further/future collaboration. It is organized by the EII Taskforce on Context-Aware Computing whose brief is to provide a focal point for bringing together research and researchers in Australia working in the area of context-awareness in pervasive computing.
The Taskforce aims to provide a bridge to foster and enable collaboration between international research groups, Australian researchers and potential industry partners and in this context is sponsoring the visit of the keynote speaker - Prof. Anind Dey from Carnegie Mellon University.
Keynote Speaker:
Prof. Anind Dey , Carnegie Mellon University
Dr. Anind K. Dey is an Assistant Professor in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. His research interests lie at the intersection of human-computer interaction and ubiquitous computing. Specifically he performs research in context-aware computing and sensor-based interactions. He has conducted research in building context-aware infrastructures (including the Context Toolkit), models for context-aware systems, applications of context-aware applications and definitions for context-aware systems. Recently his interests have focused on how to make context-aware systems usable and adoptable by end-users.
Anind received a Bachelors of Applied Science in Computer Engineering from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada in 1993, and Masters of Science in AeroSpace Engineering from Georgia Tech in 1995. He received a 2nd Masters of Science and a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech in 2000. He was a Senior Researcher at Intel Research Berkeley from 2001-2004 and an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the EECS Department at UC Berkeley from 2002 to 2005.
