SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS PERVASIVE 2006

The 4th International Conference on Pervasive Computing

The Burlington Hotel Dublin, Ireland May 7--10, 2006

PERVASIVE 2006 --------------

PERVASIVE 2006 one of the premier conferences in Pervasive Computing invites submissions for the 4th International Conference on Pervasive Computing to be held in Dublin Ireland from the 7th to the 10th of May 2006.

PERVASIVE is an international conference held annually which aims to present significant research contributions in the area of pervasive computing technologies, systems and applications. The last three conferences in this series were held in Munich (May 2005), Linz/Vienna (April 2004) and Zurich (August 2002). It provides a forum for researchers, developers, and users throughout the world to present advances in computing technology toward new modes of operation (ubiquitous, continuous, and self-organised) and toward new usage models (ambient, context-aware, and closely integrated into human activities and environments). In addition to a highly selective single-track program for technical papers, PERVASIVE 2006 will include a keynote address, late breaking results, videos, poster presentations, workshops, demonstrations, an outreach public lecture and a doctoral colloquium.

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of original unpublished research work in all areas. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

* Device, communication, and interaction technologies for pervasive computing. * Pervasive sensing, perception and inference for context technologies. * Software infrastructure, middleware and frameworks for pervasive computing systems and environments. * Analysis, design, implementation and evaluation of pervasive systems and applications. * Deployment and management of pervasive systems and services and emerging industrial scenarios. * Pervasive computing interaction models, user interfaces * Personalisation and user experience reports in pervasive computing. * Privacy, security and trust in pervasive computing.

Paper Submission: -----------------

For PERVASIVE 2006 we are soliciting high quality technical papers that describe original, unpublished research on pervasive computing. Submissions should report concrete, significant, and transferable results that help advance the state of the art in pervasive computing. All papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the PERVASIVE 2006 program committee and by additional expert reviewers from relevant research communities. PERVASIVE 2006 requires that submissions have not been published previously and that papers submitted are not under simultaneous review for any other conference, journal or other publication.

Papers for PERVASIVE 2006 should be formatted according to the Springer-Verlag LNCS style. We solicit papers of up to 15 pages. All paper submissions will be treated as full papers but it is important that their length is appropriate for their content. Accepted papers will be allowed to submit revised versions upto 18 pages in their camera ready copy. Paper submissions have to be anonymized according to our Anonymous Submission Policy to facilitate blind review. Authors should take care throughout their paper that their identity and their institution's identity is not revealed. Ensure you read and follow the PERVASIVE 2006 Anonymous Submission Policy, before submitting.

Full papers should be submitted via the EDAS system. Once logged in select the Pervasive 2006 conference to submit your paper. If you do not already have an account with EDAS you can register at
