CALL FOR PAPERS
Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop (PUC 2009) (http://www.cis.uoguelph.ca/~denko/IWCmcindex.html)
To be held in conjunction with IWCMC 2009, June 21-24, 2009, Leipzig, Germany (http://iwcmc.com/index.htm)
========================================================
Aims and scope of the workshop ==============================
At the same time as the number of connections, wired or wireless for each electronic device is increasing the number of electronic devices surrounding each individual is also multiplying. This will pave the way for the realisation of pervasive/ubiquitous computing where the user is making use of many devices and systems simultaneously, in the course of daily activities, without having to make effort or even being aware of them. These devices and systems will then collaborate and form together an ambient intelligence that offers personalised services to the user. However, in order to realise this exciting vision, it is necessary to address and find solutions to many challenges such as seamless access, device and service discovery, service continuity, middleware for pervasive computing, identity, privacy, security, trust, etc.
The IWCMC 2009 Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop will serve as an ideal meeting place for developers, researchers, practitioners, and educators who are interested or working within the field of mobile, pervasive/ubiquitous computing. It will, hopefully, act as a catalyst for the realisation of the vision of pervasive computing.
Topics of interest ==================
Submissions are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics:
Technologies and devices for pervasive computing Applications and services of pervasive computing technologies Seamless access and Service continuity in pervasive computing Customisation and personalisation of services Context-aware services Device and service discovery in pervasive computing Middleware for pervasive computing Interfaces and modes of interactions between people and pervasive computing devices, applications or environments Tools, infrastructures, architectures and techniques for designing, implementing & deploying pervasive computing applications Evaluations and evaluation methods, for assessing the impact of pervasive computing devices, applications or environments Privacy, security, trust & social issues and implications of pervasive computing Identity management in pervasive computing Intelligent and smart environments Opportunistic pervasive computing Autonomic management of ubiquitous systems
Submission Guidelines =====================
The IWCMC 2009 Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop welcomes novel and unpublished papers in the field of Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing. Submissions must include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 6 pages, including tables and figures (up to two extra pages at additional cost) in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). The proceedings of the workshop will be published as part of IWCMC2009 main conference, by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Digital Library. Selected papers will be further considered for possible publication in a Special Issue of an International Journal (pending) after further extension.
Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work. Submissions will be conducted electronically on the conference website:
