In this paper a context-awareness approach to sensors is targeted, proposing a first extension of sensor ontologies in this direction.

Also, The SPITFIRE project sponsored the Best Paper Award of the workshop. A prize of 250 Euro was granted to the winning paper by Carsten Keßler and Krzysztof Janowicz: "Linking Sensor Data – Why, to What, and How?".
