Call for PapersIEEE PerCom 2004 will be the second 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 2004 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. As in PerCom 2003, the Mark Weiser Best Paper Award will be given to the best paper judged by the award subcommittee.

Conference Scope:
Pervasive computing and communications is emerging as an exciting new paradigm with a goal to provide computing and communication services all the time, everywhere. This emergence is a natural outcome of research and technological advances in wireless networks, mobile computing, distributed computing and agent technologies. PerCom is the annual IEEE conference on pervasive computing and communications and as such it will provide a high profile, leading edge forum for researchers and engineers alike to present their latest advances in the field of pervasive computing and communications.
Feature Topics:
Contributions are solicited in all pervasive computing research and applications. Thopics include, but are not limited to the following feature topics:
• Pervasive computing architectures
• Intelligent environments
• Wearable computers
• Smart devices and smart spaces
• Location-dependent / personalized applications
• Service discovery mechanisms
• Middleware services and Agent technologies
• Sensors and actuators
• Positioning and tracking technologies
• Integration of wired and wireless networks
• Personal area networks
• Enabling technologies such as Bluetooth, 802.11, etc
• Mobile / wireless computing systems and services
• Context based and implicit computing
• Speech processing / advanced computer vision
• User interfaces and interaction models
• Wireless/mobile service management and delivery
• Ad hoc networking protocols and service discovery
• Resource management in pervasive computing platforms
• Security and privacy issues of pervasive computing 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Submitted papers must be unpublished and not considered elsewhere for publication.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 will be available at http://www.percom.org.
