Scope
Awareness is the ability to be conscious of, feel or perceive (Wikipedia). It implies vigilance in observing or alertness
in drawing inferences from what one experiences (Merriam-Webster). The ultimate goal of aware computing is to
create computing systems that are able to be aware. Application examples include context awareness, situation
background awareness, power awareness, location/position awareness, weakness/risk/danger awareness, safety
security awareness, chance/opportunity awareness, etc. An aware system may not be as intelligent as a human,
but it will certainly be more autonomous and more human-like than conventional systems. This symposium
provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientists to discuss on aware computing and to exchange ideas,
opinions, and the latest results in this emerging new field.
