Request for Sponsorship: EuroSSC 2007 (2nd European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context)

第二届欧洲智能传感和环境会议EuroSSC 2007将于2007年10月23日至25日在湖区国家公园的肯达尔附近举行。本次会议的重点是网络传感系统及其在构建以人为中心的智能环境和上下文感知系统中的应用（www.eurossc.org）。该会议是欧洲的重要年度活动，首次在英国举行。2006年举行的第一届EuroSSC会议吸引了来自学术界、工业界和政府组织的100多名与会者，预计今年的与会者人数与此类似。在上一次会议成功的基础上，EuroSSC 2007将包括一个高度选择性的技术论文单轨计划，并附有海报、演示和特邀演讲者。在EPSRC研讨会资助的帮助下，我们将吸引著名的国际主讲人，并支持英国EPSRC资助的博士生，他们热衷于为会议做出贡献，但缺乏参加会议的财政资源。通过支持这次会议，将确保英国在这一研究领域的发展中发挥关键作用。

EuroSSC 2007, the 2nd European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context, will take place from 23/25 October 2007 near Kendal, in the Lake District National Park. This conference focuses on networked sensing systems and their use in building human-centric smart surroundings and context aware systems (www.eurossc.org). This conference is a key annual European event, held in the UK for the first time. The first EuroSSC conference in 2006 attracted over 100 participants from academia, industry and government organisations, with a similar number expected this year. Building on the success of the previous conference, EuroSSC 2007 will include a highly selective single-track program of technical papers, accompanied by posters, demonstrations, and invited speakers. With the help of this EPSRC workshop grant we will attract renowned international keynote speakers and support UK-based EPSRC-funded PhD students who are keen to contribute to the conference but lack the financial resources to attend. By supporting this conference it will be ensured that the UK is playing a key-role in the development of this research area.
