Context-awareness is one of the drivers of the ubiquitous computing
paradigm. Well-designed context modeling and context retrieval
approaches are key p- requisites in any context-aware system.
Location is one of the primary aspects of all major context models
- together with time, identity and activity. From the technical
side, sensing, fusing and distributing location and other context
information is as important as providing context-awareness to
applications and services in pervasive systems.
Thematerialsummarizedinthisvolumewasselectedforthe1stInternational
Workshop on Location- and Context-Awareness (LoCA 2005) held in
coope- tion with the 3rd International Conference on Pervasive
Computing 2005. The workshop was organized by the Institute of
Communications and Navigation of the German Aerospace Center (DLR)
in Oberpfa?enhofen, and the Mobile and Distributed Systems Group of
the University of Munich. During the workshop, novel positioning
algorithms and location sensing te- niques were discussed,
comprising not only enhancements of singular systems, like
positioning in GSM or WLAN, but also hybrid technologies, such as
the integration of global satellite systems with inertial
positioning. Furthermore, - provements in sensor technology, as
well as the integration and fusion of sensors, were addressed both
on a theoretical and on an implementation level. Personal and
con?dential data, such as location data of users, have p- found
implications for personal information privacy. Thus privacy
protection, privacy-oriented location-aware systems, and how
privacy a?ects the feasibility and usefulness of systems were also
addressed in the workshop.
