This workshop aims to provide a forum in which to focus on Agent-Oriented Software Engineering methods, concepts, models, languages and tools that enable the design and development of practical applications in the context of ubiquitous and pervasive computing (UPC). It aims to bring together researchers, students and professionals from Software Engineering area, Multi-agent Systems area and Mobile Computing area to reach a better understanding of the relationships between them and promote their research efforts.

Ambient assisted living concept is envisioned through a new paradigm of interaction inspired by constant provision to information and computational resources. This provision will be enabled through invisible devices that offer distributed computing power and spontaneous connectivity. A nomad traversing residential, working, and advertising environments will seamlessly and constantly be served by small mobile devices like portables, handheld, embedded or wearable computers. This paradigm of leaving and interacting introduces new security, trust and privacy risks. Thus, methods and technology to support confidence in this concept are revisited.
The objectives of the SecPerU2007 Workshop are to develop new security, privacy and trust concepts for complex application scenarios based on systems like handhelds, phones, smart cards, sensors, actuators and RF tags, with the emerging technology of ubiquitous and pervasive computing.

In the last years, service-oriented computing and pervasive computing are emerging as the next computing paradigms. Service-oriented computing allows to easily develop, publish and use software functionalities. Pervasive computing rests on mobile and/or embedded devices, available anywhere and anytime, that can potentially provide services. Bringing these two trends together raises the new challenge of integrating/unintegrating, in an application, non-predefined services just discovered in the pervasive environment.

4. Software Engineering of Pervasive Services (SEPS'07)

The interest in pervasive computing is increasing steadily. While many requirements can be addressed with current technology, there are many open questions regarding design, development, as well as deployment of pervasive systems. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from the areas of pervasive computing and software engineering to exchange ideas and to define new research directions based on experience and needs of both communities.

5. 2nd International Workshop on Multimodal And Pervasive Services

Multimodal interaction improves the accessibility of the pervasive services. The objectives of the MAPS Workshop are to give the state of the art, and to propose new methods, techniques and approaches of multimodal interaction for offering pervasive services and improving a practice access to pervasive services from mobile devices.
