IEEE PerCom 2004 will be the second annual conference on the emerging area of pervasive computing and communications aimed at providing an exciting platform and paradigm for all the time, everywhere services. This emergence is a natural outcome of the tremendous advances in wireless networks, mobile computing, sensor networks, distributed computing, and agent technologies. PerCom 2004 will provide a high profile, leading edge forum for researchers and engineers alike to present their latest research in the field of pervasive computing and communications. As in PerCom 2003, the Mark Weiser Best Paper Award will be given to the best paper judged by the award subcommittee. Also, as in PerCom 2003, a special issue of a leading journal will be published out of the selected papers.
Proposals to organize Workshops are also invited. PerCom 2004 will also feature industry exhibits and demonstrations.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feature Topics: ---------------- Contributions are solicited in all areas and topics pertaining to pervasive computing research and applications. These include, but are not limited to, the following 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: ----------------------------------
Submitted papers must be unpublished and not currently under consideration elsewhere for publication. Only electronic submissions (PS or PDF) will be considered. Page limit is 12 pages (single column, 11 pt fonts and 1.5 line spaced, excluding references, figures and tables). Detailed procedure will be available at http://www.percom.org. All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous review process managed by the technical program committee. IEEE Computer Society Press will publish the conference proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be considered for a special issue of a journal.
For organizing a workshop at PerCom'2004, please contact the Workshop Chairs. A separate proceedings of workshop papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
