The Second Workshop on Intelligibility and Control in Pervasive Computing will take place from 18 June 2012 in Newcastle, UK.

Due to the proactive and complex behaviour of pervasive computing environments, it is important that systems are intelligible (or scrutable) to allow users to understand 'what the systems know, how they know it, and what they are doing'.

Pervasive systems should put end-users at the centre of control by empowering them to better coordinate, control, and personalise applications. Intelligibility and control are crucial to improving the usability of these novel, and possibly unintuitive, systems and to help users understand, appreciate, trust, and ultimately adopt them.

The event will be a forum for specifying, designing, developing, and evaluating intelligible and user-controllable pervasive computing systems.For further information, please visit: http://research.edm.uhasselt.be/pervasive-intelligibility/
