SCOPE
---------------------
The CAT08 workshop aims to stimulate an active exchange of new ideas
on interrelations between the area of context awareness and the area
of security, privacy & trust.  The workshop aims to bring together
scientists and engineers that are active in the area of
context awareness and in trust management, privacy and security. The
workshop aims are to discuss state of the art, to identify open and
emerging problems, to share research experiences, and to propose
future research directions. We encourage not only researchers with a
computer science background, but also researchers with a more
user-centric background such as social sciences, behavioural science,
and so on.
