Pervasive Computing and Communications
PerCom 2009
Galveston, Texas, March 9-13, 2009
IEEE Middleware Support for Pervasive Computing Workshop 2009 (PerWare
2009)
Monday, March 9, 2009

The scale of pervasive computing in terms of the number of devices and
services, high-levels of dynamism and context-awareness, the frequent
failures, the need for close integration of various technologies, combined
with the lack of a single system administrator require middleware services
capable of evolving and re-organizing themselves. The goal of this workshop
is to invite new innovations in the field of middleware for pervasive
computing, bring together researchers and foster discussions for new trends
in this area. The workshop aims at addressing issues related to middleware
design patterns; middleware for user-centric computing and mobile computing;
middleware support for novel pervasive computing application models;
adaptable, recoverable, secure and/or fault tolerant middleware platforms,
etc.
5th IEEE International Workshop on PervasivE Learning (PerEL 2009)
Friday, March 13, 2009

The workshop series on PervasivE Learning (PerEL) aims to address the issues
of pervasive computing in combination with new types and methodologies of
learning, teaching and working. Pervasive learning is a key technology for
tomorrow’s e-knowledge society. PerEL 2009 covers both the technical as well
as the non-technical aspects of pervasive learning forcing innovative
learning environments by utilization of wireless communication and wearable
computing. In combination with session and service mobility as well as
device independency the arising learning environments should have the
potential to be accessed by anyone at any place and any time. PerEL 2009
addresses technologies, algorithms, tools, architectures, and applications
as well as pedagogical trends of pervasive learning. It will present
original papers to demonstrate new results of research and development in
the field of pervasive learning. We are looking for results of theoretical,
empirical, and practical studies. Topics of interest are all aspects of
pervasive learning.
The 5th IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Networking (PWN09)
Friday, March 13, 2009

Wireless connectivity, mobility support, location awareness, and integration
of wireless networks to the Internet are important enabling technologies for
pervasive computing and communications. With the advent of inexpensive
wireless solutions, such as WiMesh, WiFi, Bluetooth, and ZigBee, a number of
challenges arise when these protocols are applied to wireless PAN, home
networking, wireless LANs, and wireless sensor and mesh networks. This
workshop seeks papers describing significant research contributions to the
theory, practice, and evaluation of wireless networks for pervasive
computing.
5th IEEE PerCom International Workshop on Sensor Networks and Systems
for Pervasive Computing (PerSeNS 2009)
Monday, March 9, 2009

Thanks to wireless sensor networks, pervasive computing environments are
becoming a reality. Wireless sensor networks are aggregates of sensor nodes
into sophisticated sensing, computational and communication infrastructures.
These new networks are having a significant impact (and promises to have
even more) on a wide array of applications ranging from military, to
scientific, to industrial, to health-care, to domestic, establishing
ubiquitous computing that will pervade society and redefine the way in which
we live and work. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to
exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers,
professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia.
The 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Web and Pervasive Security (WPS
2009)
Friday, March 13, 2009

http://grid.chu.edu.tw/wps2009/
Web and Pervasive Environments (WPE) are emerging rapidly as an exciting new
paradigm including ubiquitous, web, grid, ubiquitous and peer-to-peer
computing to provide computing and communication services any time and
anywhere. In order to realize their advantages, it requires the security
services and applications to be suitable for WPE. WPS 2009 has been held
annually since 2007 to allow leading research groups to present their
current research activities and their latest results. IEEE WPS 2009 is a
successor of the 1st International Workshop on Application and Security
service in Web and pervAsive eNvirionments (ASWAN-07, HuangShan, China,
June, 2007) and the 2nd International Workshop on Web and Pervasive Security
(WPS-08, Hong Kong, March, 2008).
6th IEEE PerCom Workshop on Context Modeling and Reasoning – The
Challenge (CoMoRea’09)
Friday, March 13, 2009
URL:
http://www.nexus.uni-stuttgart.de/COMOREA
This workshop’s aim is to advance the state of the art in context modeling
and reasoning and also discuss fundamental issues in context processing and
management. The goal is to identify concepts, theories and methods
applicable to context modeling and context reasoning as well as
system-oriented issues related to the design and implementation of
context-aware systems. CoMoRea will provide a forum for researchers to
present and discuss recent research results and ongoing work. To further
foster exchange of experiences and collaboration among researchers, this
year’s workshop contains a novelty: the challenge. It is a common scenario
that we ask researchers to apply their research on.
The 2nd IEEE Workshop on Intelligent Pervasive Devices (PerDev2009)
Monday, March 9, 2009
URL:
http://perdev09.ict.ac.cn/
Intelligent pervasive devices have always attracted much attention from
various research fields. The major research issues related to intelligent
pervasive devices mainly include three aspects: hardware design, software
design, and human device interface. In hardware design, a solution is to
make the pervasive devices lighter and compact without adding more burden on
the power consumption, by designing dedicated processors and SoCs to reduce
energy consumption greatly. On the software side, plenty of approaches can
be taken to make the pervasive devices intelligent and adaptive, such as
location-awareness, context-awareness, activity recognition, cooperation
between devices and so on. Moreover, an active and interacting human device
interface also plays an important role in intelligent pervasive devices and
we will discuss this new research topic in this workshop.
The 1st International Workshop on Information Quality and Quality of
Service for Pervasive Computing (IQ2S 2009)
Monday, March 9, 2009
URL:
http://IQ2S2009.i2r.a-star.edu.sg
Quality of service (QoS) has been studied in various building blocks in
pervasive computing, e.g., different QoS mechanisms are presented for
wireless or wired networks with QoS metrics being described in terms of
delay, bandwidth, and/or data loss etc. The emerging pervasive computing is
application-driven and mission-critical, therefore the information quality
(IQ), such as the accuracy of target tracking or event detection, is also
critical for the end users, service providers and the system designers. IQ
and QoS provisioning for pervasive computing is challenging and difficult
due to the resource-constrained, dynamic and distributed nature of the
system, the weakness under security attacking, and the lack of a holistic
design approach which takes into account the different types of resources
and their inter-dependencies. The objective of this workshop is to provide a
forum to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, and enhance
collaborations among researchers, professionals, and application developers
in various aspects of IQ and QoS for pervasive computing.
