Call for Papers ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIFTH ANNUAL IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PERVASIVE COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATIONS (PerCom) Sponsored by the IEEE, the IEEE Computer Society, the University of Texas at Arlington, and IBM T.J. Watson

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

IEEE PerCom 2007 will be the fifth 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 2007 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. In addition to the technical papers, PerCom 2007 will also feature several workshops, a demonstrations session, keynotes and panel discussions. Contributions are solicited in all areas of pervasive computing research and applications.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feature Topics: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Pervasive computing and communicationarchitectures - Smart devices and intelligent environments - Wearable computers - Middleware services and agent technologies - Ad Hoc networks for pervasive communications - Sensor and RFIDin pervasive systems - Positioning and tracking technologies - Virtual immersive communications - Enabling technologies (e.g. wireless BAN, PAN) - Mobile/Wireless computing systems and services inpervasive computing - Context aware computing - Autonomic computing and communications - Programming paradigms for pervasive systems - User interfaces and interaction models - Trust, security and privacy issues in pervasive systems

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Guidelines: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Submitted papers must be unpublished and not considered elsewhere for publication.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 is available at http://www.percom.org. All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous review process managed by the technical program committee.

IEEE Press will publish the conference proceedings. The best paper will receive the prestigious Mark Weiser best paper award. Papers of particular merit will be considered for a special issue of Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal. Please visit the conference URL for information about Workshops and Demonstrations.
