Call for Papers

*Important Dates*
Paper registration in EDAS: September 26, 2022
Submission via EDAS: TBA

IEEE PerCom, now in its 21st year, will be held in Atlanta, Georgia (USA),
during March 13-17, 2023, as a physical event, with a provision for remote
participation.  PerCom is the premier annual scholarly venue in pervasive
computing and communications. Pervasive computing is constantly at the
forefront of mobile systems research, and has found its way into many
commercial systems due to tremendous advances in a broad spectrum of
technologies and topics such as wireless networking, mobile and distributed
computing, sensor systems, ambient intelligence, and smart devices.

SCOPE
PerCom 2023 solicits research contributions in all areas pertinent to
pervasive computing and communications, especially those that cross
traditional research boundaries. In particular, we target:

Advances in pervasive systems and infrastructures: middleware systems and
services; data engineering for pervasive computing; cloud, fog and edge
computing; integrations of smartphones in pervasive experiences;
applications of device-to-device coordination.

Theories, models, and algorithms: context modeling and reasoning; adaptive
computing; activity and emotion recognition; programming paradigms; applied
machine learning; deep machine learning; federated learning; causal
learning; cognitive computing; complex networks; spatio-temporal modeling
techniques.

Domain-specific challenges and novel applications: urban/mobile
crowdsensing & intelligence; PerCom for healthcare and well-being;
cyber-physical PerCom; smart homes and virtual assistants; mixed reality;
sports analytics; crime prevention; pervasive nowcasting; urban robotics;
pervasive AR/VR;  smart vehicles; disaster sensing and management.

Intersections of PerCom with: opportunistic networks; IoT and sensor
systems; RFID systems; pervasive data science, cyber physical systems, 3D
networks.

New techniques for user-level concerns: participatory and social sensing;
trust, security, privacy, and ethics; user interface, interaction, and
persuasion; online and offline social networking and pervasive computing.

Technological innovations: architectures, protocols, and technologies for
pervasive communications; energy-harvesting, self-powered, or battery-less
systems; mobile and wearable systems; smart devices and environments;
positioning, navigation, timing,  and tracking technologies; device-free
human sensing.

Contributions can be analytical, empirical, technological, methodological,
or a combination. Papers reporting strong systems engineering contributions
backed by solid and appropriate evaluations are strongly encouraged. The
impact of the contributions should be demonstrated in the context of
pervasive computing and communications applications.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
TBA.

BEST PAPER AWARD AND EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS
The best paper will receive the prestigious Mark Weiser Best Paper Award.

Selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions for a special
issue of the Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal.
