---------------- WISH-08 CFP ----------------------------------- The 2nd International Workshop on Intelligent systems and Smart Home (WISH-08) http://www.sersc.org/WISH2008 Sydney, Australia, December 10-12, 2008 ***************************************************************** --Submission due has extended to August 15 --- Distinguished papers accepted and presented in WISH -08, after further revisions, will be published in special issues on International Journal of Smart Home (IJSH) and Journal of Supercomputing. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Smart Home Environments (SHE) are emerging rapidly as an exciting and promising new area. In SHE, intelligent systems need to be deployed to provide user-centric services that can remotely access and control information appliances in the workplace as well as at home. In addition, the systems should provide services to enable working at home, remote education, remote diagnosis, on-line shopping, network gaming, and so forth to improve people's quality of life. WISH-08 is a successor of the 2007 International Workshop on Intelligent Systems and Smart Home, Niagara Falls, Canada, August, 2007. The goal of this Workshop is to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to all aspects of intelligent systems and smart home. To meet this end, we invite you to submit a paper for a presentation relevant to the core focus of WISH-08.
