The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different fields of expertise, widen mutual understanding and promote more intense collaboration in this new interdisciplinary domain. Furthermore a cross-discipline forum should create an opportunity for the participants to exchange ideas about a wide range of topics related to pervasive adaptation and contextual/personal awareness, covering theoretical aspects as well as practical methods, concrete applications, system architectures and use cases. A special attention should be paid to preserving privacy. In a massively interconnected cyber space that relies on sensitive users’ data, protecting privacy is a major issue, usually neglected in the euphoric tendency to develop smart systems. Attention needs to be paid to engineering privacy i.e. to such software solutions that create safe clouds of personal data which can be used for local control and still remain invisible to the outside world.
