=============================================================================== The Sixteenth Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications

PerCom 2018 (http://www.percom.org/) =============================================================================== Athens, Greece, March 19-23, 2018 ===============================================================================

CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE PerCom, now in its sixteenth 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 2018 will be held in Athens, the capital city of Greece and one of the most historic cities in Europe. PerCom 2018 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; integrations of smartphones in pervasive experiences; applications of device-to-device coordination. * Theories, models, and algorithms: context modeling and reasoning; adaptive and context-aware computing; activity recognition; programing paradigms; applied machine learning; cognitive computing techniques. * Domain-specific challenges and novel applications: urban/mobile crowdsensing & intelligence; pervasive technologies for healthcare; cyber-physical pervasive computing; innovative pervasive computing applications. * Intersections of pervasive computing with: social networks; opportunistic networks; Internet of things; sensor networks; RFID systems; big data. * New techniques for user-level concerns : participatory and social sensing; trust, security, and privacy; user interface, interaction, and persuasion; social networking and pervasive computing. * Technological innovations: architectures, protocols, and technologies for pervasive communications; mobile and wearable computing systems and services; smart devices and intelligent environments; positioning and tracking technologies.

Contributions can be analytical, empirical, technological, methodological, or a combination of these. Papers reporting strong systems engineering contributions backed by solid and appropriate evaluations are strongly encouraged. The impact of the contributions should be demonstrated in the context of pervasive computing and communications. Papers applying known techniques from other fields must clearly demonstrate substantial novelty or pervasive computing impact.

================================= Workshops and Affiliated Events ================================= A number of workshops will be held in conjunction with the main conference. Workshop papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital libraries (Xplore) along with papers from the main conference. As in the past, PerCom 2018 will also feature a PhD Forum, Work-in-Progress Posters, and Live Demonstrations. Please visit the conference website for details.

================================= Best paper award ================================= The best paper will receive the prestigious Mark Weiser Best Paper Award.

Papers of particular merit will be considered for a special issue of the Elsevier journal of Pervasive and Mobile Computing (PMC).

================================= Important Dates ================================= Paper Registration: September 15, 2017 Paper submission: September 22, 2017 Notification: December 12, 2017 Camera Ready: January 12, 2018

================================= Submission Guidelines ================================= Submitted papers must be unpublished and not considered elsewhere for publication. Also, they must show a significant relevance to pervasive computing and communications. Guidelines for preparing and submitting the manuscript will be made available on the conference website. Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous review process handled by the Technical Program Committee.
