This workshop will discuss the main concepts and the role that context-awareness and context sensitive systems and services will play in new generation of mobile devices and the proliferation of wireless networks, as well as their significance for future networks and future Internet. The Future Internet promises, among others, intelligent, ubiquitous, mobile, always-on, user-centric, adaptable, extendible, scalable, robust, secure, transparent and cost-effective operation. The above features require that users, devices and other resources, as well as services and applications, exploit context information in various ways. Context is absolutely necessary to support several crucial features of pervasive computing and future internet services. The discussions of this workshop will promote and advance our understanding of context-related research on mobile service provision and Smart Spaces. This workshop is organised by the SOCIETIES FP7 project and it aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in academia and industry to share recent results on context-awareness, as well as to foster collaboration and coordination in future EU research efforts.

This workshop, co-organised by the ACCORDANCE, OASE and SARDANA projects incorporating also ALPHA results, will provide insight in the main trends in optical access networks emphasizing fixed-mobile convergence aspects. Architecture and technology aspects will be covered as well as business-related aspects of next generation optical access (NGOA) networks. Access related results as well as future evolution scenarios will be elaborated on and possible research directions and future access network paradigms will be outlined, motivated and discussed by expert speakers from industry and academia. From a business perspective the impact of business models on network design and operation will be highlighted. The workshop aims to foster a joint understanding of the wireless/mobile and the fixed access network community on converged access network related problems. A closing panel discussion will reflect on similar or deviating approaches and identify the key research challenges and practical deployment issues.
