Dear Lars Wolf,

Let me kindly inform you that the Int'l Conf. on Pervasive and Embedded Computing and Communication Systems (PECCS - http://www.peccs.org/) is now welcoming the submission of position papers (deadline set for next January 3). PECCS will be held next year in Algarve, Portugal, on March 5-7.

A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topic areas. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster", i.e. a position paper is not a candidate to acceptance as "full paper". EDRP

PECCS is sponsored by INSTICC and held in collaboration with UPM (Universidad Politecnica de Madrid) and in cooperation with WfMC (Workflow Management Coalition),IEICE (Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers) and IEICE SWIM (IEICE Special Interest Group on Software Interprise Modelling).

The conference will include four Keynote Lectures delivered by distinguished world-class researchers: Dr. Norbert Streitz (Smart Future Initiative, Germany), Prof. Bernhard Rinner (Klagenfurt University, Austria), Prof. Lech Jozwiak (Eindhoven University of Technology / Euromicro, The Netherlands) and Prof. Anind K. Dey (Carnegie Mellon University, U.S.A.). The Program Committee (check the website for a detailed list) includes internationally distinguished experts on the conference topic areas.

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. A short list of presented papers will be selected for publication of extended and revised versions in a special issue of the 'IET Software' Journal. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index, INSPEC, DBLP and EI. Best paper awards will be bestowed at the conference closing session. All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).

PECCS's website - http://www.peccs.org - has all the details on the conference structure and its main topic areas. PECCS is co-located with VISIGRAPP 2011 (6th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications - http://www.visigrapp.org/) and registration to PECCS allows free access to the VISIGRAPP conference.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.

Best regards, Sergio Brissos
