CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE PerCom 2019
IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications

Kyoto, Japan, March 11-15 2019
http://www.percom.org


IEEE PerCom, now in its seventeenth year, is established as the premier 
annual scholarly venue in the areas of pervasive computing and 
communications. Pervasive computing and communications have evolved into 
highly active areas of research; they have found their way into many 
current commercial systems due to the tremendous advances in a broad 
spectrum of technologies and topics including wireless networking, 
mobile and distributed computing, sensor systems, ambient intelligence, 
and smart devices.

PerCom 2019 will be held in Kyoto, formerly the imperial capital of 
Japan for long years and one of the most attractive cities for tourists 
for its cultures, histories and cuisines. PerCom 2019 will provide a 
leading edge scholarly forum for researchers, engineers, and students 
alike to share their state-of-the art research and developmental work in 
the broad areas of pervasive computing and communications. The 
conference will feature a diverse mixture of interactive forums: core 
technical sessions of high-quality cutting-edge research articles; 
targeted workshops on exciting topics; live demonstrations of pervasive 
computing in action; insightful keynote speeches; panel discussions from 
domain experts; and posters of emerging ideas.

Research contributions are solicited in all areas pertinent to pervasive 
computing and communications, including:

• Advances in pervasive systems and infrastructures

     middleware systems and services; large-scale data management for 
pervasive computing;
     clouds, cloudlets, and fog computing; device-to-device 
coordination; Internet of Things;
     sensor and actuator networks; experiences from real-world deployments.

• Theoretical and analytical models and algorithms

     context modelling and reasoning; adaptive and context-aware 
computing; activity recognition;
     programming paradigms; applied machine learning; cognitive 
computing techniques.

• Domain-specific challenges and novel applications    pervasive 
technologies for healthcare, sport, smart homes and buildings, smart 
manufacturing
     (Industry 4.0), smart cities; innovative pervasive computing 
applications in such domains.

• Intersections of pervasive computing and communications with other 
research areas    social networks; urban/mobile crowd sensing & 
intelligence; opportunistic networks; big data.

• New techniques for user-level concerns

     participatory and social sensing; trust, security, and privacy; 
user interfaces, interaction,
     and persuasion; blockchain and smart contracts.

• Technological innovations

     architectures, protocols, and technologies for pervasive 
communications; mobile and wearable
     computing systems and services; smart devices and intelligent 
environments; cognitive and
     reconfigurable hardware; positioning and tracking technologies.
