Awareness is the ability to be conscious of, feel or perceive (Wikipedia). It implies vigilance in observing or alertness in drawing inferences from what one experiences (Merriam-Webster). The ultimate goal of aware computing is to create computing systems that are able to be aware. Application examples include context awareness, situation background awareness, power awareness, location/position awareness, weakness/risk/danger awareness, safety security awareness, chance/opportunity awareness, etc. An aware system may not be as intelligent as a human, but it will certainly be more autonomous and more human-like than conventional systems. This symposium provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientists to discuss on aware computing and to exchange ideas, opinions, and the latest results in this emerging new field.

An open information day on the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) and health research will be held on 8 June 2010 in Brussels, Belgium.

Organised by the Research Directorate-General of the European Commission, the event aims to highlight the new aspects of the Health Research Work Programme for 2011. This includes providing guidance on proposal preparation and facilitating matchmaking.

The programme consists of plenary sessions and several parallel sessions on participating in the FP7 'Health' theme, including:
- an overview of the theme and draft Work Programme for 2011,
- participating in an EU-funded project,
- strategic planning for small and medium-sized enterprises,
- focusing on clinical trials,
- the High Impact Research Initiative,
- research without borders/international cooperation,
- steps to success when participating in an EU-funded project,
- coordinating health research communication.
