IEEE PerCom, now in its seventh year, is the premier scholarly venue in
the areas
of pervasive computing and communications, which aim at providing a
ubiquitous
platform for supporting exciting anytime and anyplace services paradigms.
Pervasive computing and communications is a natural outcome of the
tremendous
advances of a broad spectrum of technologies including wireless and
sensor
networks, mobile and distributed computing, and agent technologies.
PerCom 2009
will provide a high profile, leading edge forum for researchers and
engineers
alike to present state-of-the-art research in the respective fields of
pervasive
computing and communications. The conference will feature a diverse
mixture of
presentation forums including core technical sessions, several
targeted workshops,
demonstrations, keynote speeches and panel discussions from domain
experts. The
conference will take place in Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, one of the
leading
technology centers of the United States.
Topics: Research contributions are solicited in all areas pertinent to
pervasive
computing and communications, including:
- Ad hoc networks for pervasive communications
- Autonomic computing and communications
- Context-aware computing
- Enabling technologies (e.g., wireless BAN, PAN)
- Low power and green pervasive computing
- Middleware services and agent technologies
- Mobile/Wireless computing systems and services in pervasive computing
- Novel/innovative pervasive computing applications
- Pervasive computing and communication architectures
- Pervasive computing in the automotive domain
- Pervasive opportunistic communications and applications
- Pervasive sensing, perception and semantic interpretation
- Positioning and tracking technologies
- Programming paradigms for pervasive systems
- Sensors and RFID in pervasive systems
- Smart devices and intelligent environments
- Trust, security and privacy issues in pervasive systems
- User interfaces and interaction models
- Virtual immersive communications
- Wearable computers
Workshops and affiliated events:
Many workshops will be held in conjunction with the conference. Workshop
papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital libraries
(Xplore),
showing their affiliation with IEEE PerCom.
As in the past, PerCom 2009 will also feature a PhD Forum, Demonstrations
and a Work-in-Progress Session.
Please check the conference website frequently for more details.
PerCom 2009 Submission Guidelines:
Submitted papers must be unpublished and not considered elsewhere for
publication.
Papers must show a significant relevance to pervasive computing and
networking.
Only electronic submissions in PDF will be considered. The page limit
is 10 IEEE
conference proceedings format 2-column pages (including references,
figures and tables,
at least 11pt font). Detailed electronic submission procedures will be
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
Elsevier's
Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal.
