3rd International Conference on Pervasive Computing PERVASIVE 2005 - http://www.pervasive.ifi.lmu.de/ 8-12 May, 2005, Munich, Germany
Submission Deadline: 6 October 2004 *** submission is still open ***
PERVASIVE 2005 - Call for Papers --- PERVASIVE 2005 invites original and significant research contributions in the area of pervasive computing technologies, systems and applications. This conference seeks to present advances in computing technology toward new modes of operation (ubiquitous, continuous, and self-organized) and toward new usage models (ambient, context-aware, and integral with human activity and environments).
Building on the success of previous conferences in this series held in Zurich (August 2002) and in Linz/Vienna (April 2004), PERVASIVE 2005 will include a highly selective single-track program for technical papers, accompanied by posters, videos, demonstrations, workshops, and a doctoral colloquium. Papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Springer- Verlag as Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and will also be made available through digital libraries. Extended abstracts for poster, video and demo contributions will be included in adjunct proceedings for the conference attendees.
The conference particularly values practical experience with design, deployment and use of pervasive systems and applications, and investigation of exciting and inspiring ideas and technologies. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Device, communication, and interaction technologies for pervasive computing * Pervasive sensing and perception, and location and context technologies * Software infrastructure for pervasive computing systems and environments * Design, implementation and evaluation of pervasive systems and applications * Pervasive computing user interfaces and user experience * Privacy, security and trust in pervasive computing
Paper Submission --- For PERVASIVE 2005 we are soliciting high quality technical papers that describe original, unpublished research on pervasive computing. Submissions should report concrete, significant, and transferable results that help advance the state of the art in pervasive computing. All papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the PERVASIVE 2005 program committee and by additional expert reviewers from relevant research communities. PERVASIVE 2005 requires that submissions have not been published previously and that papers submitted are not under simultaneous review for any other conference, journal or other publication.
Papers for PERVASIVE 2005 should be formatted according to the Springer-Verlag LNCS style. We solicit papers of up to 18 pages but explicitly welcome shorter papers of up to 10 pages for presentation of pointed results. All paper submissions will be treated as full papers but it is important that their length is appropriate for their content. Paper submissions have to be anonymized to facilitate blind review. Authors should take care throughout their paper that their and their institution's identity is not revealed. However relevant references to an author's previous research should not be suppressed as they may be required for reviewers to understand and evaluate the paper's contribution.
Late Breaking Results, Videos and Demonstrations --- PERVASIVE 2005 aims to be a forum to communicate novel and innovative ideas and very recent findings in pervasive computing. PERVASIVE 2005 will include a poster, video and demo program to give researchers opportunity to present their research in a variety of engaging formats. We explicitly encourage submission of late breaking results and work in progress in these categories.
Workshops --- Workshops provide an opportunity to discuss areas of special interest within pervasive computing with like-minded researchers and practitioners. Workshops will be focussed and aimed at sharing of understandings, experiences, and ideas on particular aspects of pervasive computing. Workshop proposals may be related to any topic of pervasive computing. Please contact the Workshops Chair Antonio Krüger (krueger@cs.uni-sb.de) if you would like to propose a workshop. There will be a workshop on Location- and Context-Awareness (LoCA 2005) at the German Aero Space Center (DLR) near Munich on the 12th and 13th of May 2005, see http://loca2005.context-aware.org/ for details.
Doctoral Colloquium --- A doctoral colloquium will be held directly before the main conference, as a forum for PhD students to present, discuss and defend their work in progress. This will build on the huge success of the PERVASIVE 2004 doctoral colloquium held at the University of Linz, at which 28 PhD students from around the world discussed their work with an international group of advisors selected from across the pervasive computing community.
