LOCA 2009

LOCA 2009 (May 7-8, Tokyo Japan) is the 4th International Symposium on Location and Context Awareness, with proceedings published in the LNCS series by Springer-Verlag. LoCA 2009 is colocated with Pervasive 2009 the Seventh International Conference on Pervasive Computing, which will be held May 11-14, 2009 in Nara, Japan. The links above or at the bottom of each page will take you to the call for papers, submission instructions, important dates, list of chairs and program committee members. As the date for the symposium approaches the pages with registration details, local information and venue along with accomodation details will be provided. 

LOCA 2009 seeks to publish 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. Therefore submissions must conform to the LNCS LaTeX stylesheets.

The 4th International Symposium on Location and Context Awarness follows on from the great success of LoCA 2007 in Munich Germany, LoCA 2006 in Dublin Ireland and the first LoCA 2005 in Munich Germany.

 
Important Dates

Please note our submission schedule was revised on August 8th. As a co-located symposium with Pervasive 2009 we would like to encourage authors who missed submitting to that venue time to revise their work (if appropriate) and submit to LoCA 2009.
