- Full Paper Submission: April 30, 2011 (Extended)
- Acceptance Notification: May 15, 2011
- Camera-Ready Submission: June 15, 2011
The International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies
(ANT-2011) is a leading international conference which provides an international
forum for researchers, developers and practitioners from academia, industry, and
government to address research challenges and to present and discuss research ideas,
developments and experiences related to the ambient systems infrastructure, models,
and technologies.
The general aim of ambient systems is to provide an environment wherein computing
devices exist anywhere and everywhere. In such systems mobile and embedded
computing devices form ad hoc collaboration using different communication
networks (e.g., wireless networks, RFID, etc) in order to share and exchange
information and provide services. Ambient systems pose new research challenges
due to the open and unreliable nature of the environment and the complexity and
heterogeneity of the computing devices and the underlying communication networks.
These characteristics challenge traditional techniques and demand new ways of
approaching the problems related to the ambient systems.
