Zusammenfassung: Sensors are windows to the physical world for ambient intelligence (AmI) applications. The recent emergence of networked sensors as a result of rapid advances in sensor technologies and wireless networks, have set the stage for the realization of smart environments where unobtrusive sensors, either embedded or transportable by mobile carriers, enables fine-grain capture of environmental or ambient information that provides the basis of intelligence for higher-order cognitive systems, i.e. systems with capabilities to perceive, reason, learn, and react intelligently to their environment. Such systems in turn are envisioned to have wide ranging applications from intelligent wildlife and building structure monitoring to humanistic and social endevours such as health and elderly care service provisioning.

Following the success of the first SeNAmI at PDCAT 2008 in Dunedin, New Zealand, this workshop once again aims to bring together researchers from academia and industry to present and discuss recent trends and advances in sensor networks and ambient intelligence, and from such engagement foster innovations towards technology maturity of sensor-based ambient intelligence systems.Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Cognitive wireless sensor networks
- Cooperative sensor localization and target tracking
- Context-aware reasoning and inference for sensor/RFID-based systems
- Cross-layer design and optimization of sensor-based AmI systems
- Intelligent agents for autonomous sensor network management
- Sensor networking in heterogeneous wireless environments
- Sensor data fusion for ubiquitous embedded computing
- Security, trust, and privacy for autonomous smart spaces
- Nature or bio-inspired designs for ambient sensing and intelligence
- AmI architectures, platforms, applications, and services
- Prototype or testbed implementation and deployment trials

Zusammenfassung: Kindly be informed that this year SeNAmI is also soliciting for posters and demos, and the submission due date has been extended to November 10, 2009.

For this poster/demo session, there will be a best poster/demo award, courtesy of the Global COE (Centers of Excellence) Program for Founding Ambient Information Society Infrastructure of the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Osaka University, Japan.

In addition, for authors who have already registered for a paper in the main conference (PDCAT) or its affiliated workshops, a partial reimbursement of the registration fee for each poster/demo paper has been negotiated.
