Overview of situation management at SIMA 2005

This paper is an introduction to the Workshop on Situation Management, SIMA 2005. We discuss the scope of the workshop, the big picture of situation management, and a summarization of the papers selected for inclusion in the workshop. Topics include situation knowledge acquisition, learning & situation recognition, structural & behavioral modeling of sensor networks, robotic sensors & mobile sensor grids, advanced architectures for situation awareness, and human-centric situation management. We conclude with a discussion of hard, outstanding challenges in situation management and future R&D areas
