Preliminary Call for Papers [] []

Fourth Annual IEEE International Conference on *Pervasive Computing and Communications *Pisa, March 13-17, 2006 *_ http://www.percom.org/

_** Sponsors: IEEE Computer Society, IEEE and The University of Texas at Arlington, IIT-CNR Pisa [] []

*IEEE PerCom 2006 will be the fourth 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 2006 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.

*Topics: *Contributions are solicited in all areas of pervasive computing research and applications. Topics include, but not limited to: · Pervasive computing and communication architectures · Intelligent environments · Wearable computers · Smart devices and smart spaces · Middleware services and Agent technologies · Wireless Sensor networks and RFID technologies · Positioning and tracking technologies · Virtual immersive communications · Enabling technologies (e.g. wireless BAN, PAN) · Mobile/Wireless computing systems and services · Context aware computing · Autonomic computing and communications · Programming paradigms for pervasive systems · User interfaces and interaction models · Wireless/mobile service management and delivery · Ad hoc networking protocols · Resource management in pervasive computing · Trust, security and privacy issues

*Important Deadlines: *Paper Submission:* September 5, 2005* Workshop Proposals: May 1, 2005 Demonstration Proposal: October 31, 2005 Acceptance Notification: November 22, 2005 Camera Ready Manuscripts: December 19, 2006 Conference Dates: *March 13-17, 2006 *
