Conference Announcement and Preliminary Call for Papers
---------------------------------------------------------
IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing
and Communications (PerCom),
Paper Submission Deadline---October 1, 2002
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
---------------------------------------------------------
Pervasive computing and communications is emerging as an
exciting new paradigm with a goal to provide computing
and communication services all the time everywhere.
This is a natural outcome of research and technological
advances in wireless networks, mobile computing,
distributed computing and agent technologies. PerCom is
the annual IEEE conference on pervasive computing and
communications. PerCom2003 will provide a high profile,
leading edge forum for researchers and engineers alike
to present their latest advances in the field of
pervasive computing and communications. PerCom2003
will also feature two special tracks on intelligent
environments and mobile agents.
Topics:
----------------
Contributions are solicited in all pervasive computing
research and applied areas. These include, but are not
limited to the following feature topics:
· Pervasive computing architectures
· Intelligent environments
· Wearable computers
· Smart devices and smart spaces
· Location-dependent / personalized applications
· Service discovery mechanisms
· Agent technologies
· Sensors and actuators
· Positioning and tracking technologies
· Identification and authentication technologies
· Integration of wired and wireless networks
· Personal area networks
· Enabling technologies such as Bluetooth, 802.11 and 802.15
· Software coordination models
· Mobile / wireless computing systems and services
· Context based and implicit computing
· Speech processing / advanced computer vision
· User interfaces and interaction models
· Wireless/mobile service management and delivery
· Ad hoc networking protocols and service discovery
· Resource management in pervasive computing platforms
· Security and privacy issues for pervasive computing systems
Submission Guidelines:
Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication
elsewhere. Authors are encouraged to submit papers in electronic form,
postscript or PDF only. The page limit for submissions is 15 pages
(1.5 line spaced, excluding references, figures and tables).
More details on submission procedures will be posted on the
official PerCom website: http://www.percom.org. All submitted
papers will undergo a rigorous review process managed by the
technical program committee. Conference proceedings will be
published by IEEE. Papers of particular merit will be considered
for publication in a special issue of a leading journal.
