CALL FOR PAPERS
PerCom 2011 - THE PREMIER IEEE CONFERENCE ON PERVASIVE COMPUTING
Ninth IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications
Seattle, USA, March 21 - 25, 2011
**** Paper Submission Deadline --- September 27, 2010 ****
Sponsored by
IEEE, IEEE Computer Society
The University of Texas at Arlington
IEEE PerCom, now in its ninth edition, is established as the premier annual scholarly venue in the areas of pervasive computing and communications. Pervasive computing and communications has evolved into an active area of research and development, due to the tremendous advances in a broad spectrum of technologies and topics including wireless networking, mobile and distributed computing, sensor systems, RFID technology, and the ubiquitous mobile phone.
PerCom 2011 will be held in Seattle, which is the primary gateway to the pacific northwest of the United States, famous for its breathtaking natural beauty and diversified city culture. PerCom 2011 will provide a leading edge, scholarly forum for researchers, engineers, and students alike to share their state-of-the art research and developmental work in the broad areas of pervasive computing and communications. The conference will feature a diverse mixture of interactive forums: core technical sessions of high quality cutting-edge research articles; targeted workshops on exciting topics; live demonstrations of pervasive computing in action; inciting keynote speeches; panel discussions from domain experts; and posters of budding ideas.
TOPICS:
Research contributions are solicited in all areas pertinent to pervasive computing and communications, including:
- Innovative pervasive computing applications
- Context modeling and reasoning
- Programming paradigms for pervasive systems
- Software evolution and maintenance in pervasive systems
- Middleware services and agent technologies
- Adaptive, autonomic and context-aware computing
- Mobile/Wireless computing systems and services in pervasive computing
- Energy-efficient and green pervasive computing
- Communication architectures for pervasive computing
- Ad hoc networks for pervasive communications
- Pervasive opportunistic communications and applications
- Enabling technologies for pervasive systems (e.g., wireless BAN, PAN)
- Positioning and tracking technologies
- Sensors and RFIDs in pervasive systems
- Multimodal sensing and context for pervasive applications
- Pervasive sensing, perception and semantic interpretation
- Smart devices and intelligent environments
- Trust, security and privacy issues in pervasive systems
- User interface, interaction, and persuasion
- Virtual immersive communications
- Wearable computers
- Standards and interfaces for pervasive computing environments
- Social and economic models for pervasive systems
WORKSHOPS AND AFFILIATED EVENTS:
Many workshops will be held in conjunction with the main 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 2011 will also feature a PhD Forum, Demonstrations and a Work-in-Progress Session. Please visit the conference website for details.
BEST PAPER AWARD:
The best paper will receive the prestigious Mark Weiser best paper award. Papers of significant merit will be considered for a special issue of the Elsevier journal of Pervasive and Mobile Computing (PMC).
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
Submitted papers must be unpublished and not considered elsewhere for publication. Also, they must show a significant relevance to pervasive computing and networking. Only electronic submissions in PDF format will be considered. Papers must be in the IEEE format, 9 pages or less in size, including references, figures and tables (at least 10pt font, 2-column format). All papers will be managed electronically through EDAS. Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous review process handled by the Technical Program Committee.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Paper Registration: Sept. 24, 2010
Paper submission: Sept. 27, 2010
Author notification: Dec. 21, 2010
Camera-ready due: Jan. 28, 2011
