This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context, EuroSSC 2007, held in Kendal, England, October 2007. The 16 revised full papers and one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from over 51 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on spatial and motion context, human behavior as context, context frameworks and platforms and sensing technologies and case studies.
