MFSens
First International Workshop on Maintenance-Free Context Sensing
January 8, 2021
Nara, Japan/Online
Important notice
MFSens 2021 workshop will be held in a hybrid form where the venue is provided both in a physical space (Nara Kasugano International Forum IRAKA, Nara, Japan) and a cyber space (Google Meet). To avoid the three Cs, only the authors of the accepted papers of MFSens 2021 can choose the physical space venue option. Please see the details below.
Physical space venue:
Nara Kasugano International Forum IRAKA, Nara, Japan
Only the authors of accepted papers in MFSens 2021 can choose this option.
The organizers will send email to ask the authors if they choose this option or not.
Virtual space venue:
Google Meet: The link is provided by e-mail.
All participants including the authors can choose this option.
The recent advent of context sensing has enabled many applications including healthcare, elderly safety, smart home, and smart buildings. Sophisticated work has been done by using devices like IoT sensors, smartphones, and wearables. On the other hand, these approaches require high installation and maintenance cost, which is one of the bars to the popularization of context sensing in some real-life applications. This has brought the need of further exploration of maintenance-free context sensing. Specifically, we need to investigate device-free context recognition and sustainable sensing systems with energy harvesting combined with low-power operations. To this goal, MFSens workshop provides a forum for researchers to exchange new research ideas, present their progress, and identify future directions in the field of maintenance-free context sensing.
This workshop solicits submissions from all areas relating to maintenance-free sensing as well as corresponding applications.
