“Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.”

― John Dewey

We're happy to announce that we're now open to receiving your submission for our Third International Workshop on Negative Results in Pervasive Computing (PerFail 2024), which is co-located with IEEE PerCom 2024 (https://percom.org https://percom.org) in Biarritz, France.

Your paper should highlight lessons learned from the negative results while falling into the areas of pervasive computing, networking, and systems research are considered.

The main topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Studies with unconvincing results that could not be verified (e.g., due to lack of datasets)

- Underperforming experiments due to oversights in system design, inadequate/misconfigured infrastructure, etc.

- Research studies with setbacks resulting in lessons learnt and acquired hindsights (e.g., hypotheses with too limiting or too broad assumptions)

- Unconventional, abnormal, or controversial results that contradict expectations of the community

- Unexpected problems affecting publications, e.g., ethical concerns, institutional policy breaches, etc.

- "Non-publishable" or "hard-to-publish" side-outcomes of the study, e.g., mistrials of experiment methodology/design, preparations for proof-of-correctness of results, etc.

We also welcome submissions from experienced researchers that recount post-mortem of experiments or research directions they have failed in the past (e.g., in a story-based format).  The workshop aims to normalize the negative outcomes and inherent failures while conducting research in pervasive computing, systems, and networking and provide a complementary view to all the success stories in these fields.
