Dear Colleagues

It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in this

INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP SERIES ON ARCHITECTURES FOR TECHNO-SOCIAL SYSTEMS

to be held at *****  in *******. Egypt from December 1^st to December 4^th, 2011

Embedded technical systems into smart environments in a non-invasive way will enable humans to naturally interact with these environments. These systems progressively become techno-social systems.

The annual workshop on Architectures for Techno-Social Systems will bring together researchers from all over the world conceiving, developing and evaluating architectures for techno-social systems. It will provide an international forum for the presentation of research and applications and for lively discussions among researchers as well as industrialists. The workshop will be held alternately in Germany and Egypt.

The workshop will be supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

Authors of selected papers accepted for the workshop proceedings will be considered to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a book to be published by Springer.

We welcome you to the workshop.
