EuroSSC 2010 is a venue for high-quality papers that describe both original and unpublished research advancing the state of the art in smart surroundings, context-awareness and networked embedded sensor and actuator systems. The conference brings researchers of a variety of disciplines, perspectives and geo- graphical areas together. It aims to explore the implications of computing as it starts to surround us transparently, interwoven into the fabric of everyday life. Our Program Committee—composed of 28 leading international researchers inthe fields ofcontextrecognitionandsmartsensing—accepted13paperstobe published in these proceedings. We want to take the opportunity to express our gratitude to the diligent effortsofallmembersoftheEuroSSCProgramCommitteeandtheteamforthe localarrangements.Wealsowanttothanktheover50(co-)authorsfromover13 countries for their contributions, shaping the EuroSSC into a true international venue. In addition to the official conference proceedings, we are pleased to also in- clude a short report about the Workshop on Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) platforms. We also want to express our thanks to the MonAMI coordinators,as withoutthemthesharedworkshopwouldnothavebeenpossible.Wefoundthat theworkshopsparkedinterestingdiscussionsbetweentheconferenceparticipants about the fascination topic of aging in a pervasive computing age. Last but not least, we want to thank all the people who attended this year’s EuroSSC conference, as the opportunity to meet and interact with interesting people in the field makes the planning of such events a rewarding endeavor for everybody involved in the organizationalaspects of it.

Context-awarenessisabasicrequirementofubiquitouscomputingap- plications. Whilelotsof good efforts have been made todeliver context-aware tour guide or museum guide, weask ourselves: “can webuild acontext-aware fire guide to assist on-site fire victims to escape from a fire?” In reality, many peoplelosetheirlivesinfiredisastersduetobad judgment.

The object of this study is to deliver a mission-criticalcontext-awarefire response guidefor the buildingoccupantswith the aim to calm andassist peopleto reactproperlywhen confrontedwith an fire disaster.
