======================================= ****************************** ******** Call for Papers ******* ****************************** * * *1st International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments* *(PETRA) 2008* *July 15-19, Athens, GREECE* * * **Conference Web Site*: http://www.petrae.org/* As the diffusion of computing technology into everyday life continues at an exponential rate, elements of technology are increasingly being embedded in artifacts and environments. One important environment for this diffusion is the domestic environment, or Oikos as it was known in ancient Greece. Peoples’ living environments are particularly important when one takes into account the world’s aging population and the fact that as people grow older they are increasingly relying on technology. People will however, have differing levels of computer knowledge and assisted living needs. As a result of these differences the first key area of PETRA is: how to build pervasive technologies for assistive environments that are non-intrusive and easy to use for the end user. The second key area is the technology, as it is now increasingly possible to assist people who have health care needs in their homes by using sensors, databases, personal area networks, ubiquitous connectivity, distributed intelligence and adaptive easy to use interfaces and interactions. However in order to provide such support it is necessary to combine efforts from many areas of engineering and computer science e.g. security, embedded systems, distributed systems, data management and networking. It is at this critical moment that we would like to invite researchers working in the area of healthcare and assisted living to submit their original research findings to the PETRA conference. * * * * Topics and areas of interest include, but are not limited to: *· *Tools, infrastructures, architectures and techniques for designing, implementing and deploying pervasive applications in assistive environments *· *Privacy, security and trust *· *Social impact of the use of pervasive technologies on the user in pervasive assistive environments *· *Wearable, ambient and home based health and wellness measurement and monitoring technologies *· *Mobile and wireless technologies for healthcare information storage, transmission, processing, and feedback *· *Sensor networks for pervasive care *· *Standards and interoperability *· *Probes for gathering requirements in household settings *· *Context aware mobile networks *· *Signal and Image Processing for Ambient Intelligence and Pervasive Computing *· *Reasoning systems and Machine Learning for Assistive Environments *· *Usability and HCI issues, Multimodal Interfaces *Conference Proceedings:* ACM will be the publisher of the proceedings of the PETRA conference and the conference proceedings will be a volume in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series in the ACM Digital Library.
