Workshops
Workshop on Context Modeling and Reasoning
(CoMoRea'04)
In conjunction with the Second IEEE International Conference on
Scope: The aim of this workshop is to discuss fundamental issues in context
management and to identify widely applicable concepts, theories and methods.
This includes theoretical and practical issues related to modeling and reasoning
about context as well as system-oriented issues related to the design and
implementation of context-aware systems.

1st International Workshop on Mobile Peer-to-Peer Computing
(MP2P'04)
In conjunction with the Second IEEE International Conference on
Scope:MP2P'04 is intended to serve as a forum for scientists and engineers in
academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences, new ideas,
and research results about all aspects of mobile P2P computing. It will address
the challenges, technologies, and architectures leading to real-world solutions
that provide users with direct access and control of their critical peer-based
information and services, regardless of location or device. The principal theme
of MP2P’04 is the development of protocols, systems and applications for mobile
P2P computing.

Workshop on Pervasive Computing and Communications Security
(PerSec'04)
In conjunction with the Second IEEE International Conference on
Scope: Research
in pervasive computing and communications continues
to
gain momentum. However, research in the provision of
security and privacy in
these environments is still in its infancy. Percomsec
will provide an international forum to encourage
and present original research ideas and results that
address
all aspects of security and privacy for pervasive computing.

Workshop on Middleware Support for Pervasive Computing
(PerWare'04)
In conjunction with the Second IEEE International Conference on
Scope:Context-awareness,
dynamism, and heterogeneity are some of the properties
that differentiate pervasive computing from traditional
distributed systems. Most traditional distributed systems
are unaware of context, are static, and are composed
of homogeneous devices. As a result, the assumptions
underlying traditional middleware infrastructures differ
from the ones for pervasive computing. In a pervasive
computing environment, issues such as mobility, disconnection,
and dynamic introduction and removal of devices, and
merging of the physical environment with the computational
infrastructure are common and affect the underlying
middleware infrastructure. Furthermore, different devices
might be connected to different networks, with different
latency and bandwidth. As a result, the middleware must
provide mechanisms for handling disconnection, addressing
fault tolerance, and adapting to a number of issues related
to diversity including heterogeneous device resources.
The scale of pervasive computing in terms of the number
of devices and services, combined with the lack of a
single system administrator, the associated dynamism,
and frequent failures require middleware services capable
of evolving and re-organizing themselves.
This
workshop addresses the issues related to the design
and implementation of middleware services for pervasive
computing. The workshop focuses on the challenges associated
with pervasive computing and identifies common paradigms
and design decisions that affect most middleware designers.

Workshop on Pervasive Computing Education
In conjunction with the Second IEEE International Conference on
Scope: As pervasive computing and related fields mature, there is a growing need to
better prepare students for graduate research and positions in industry and government.
The Workshop on Pervasive Computing Education will provide a forum to discuss
requirements, barriers, and approaches to pervasive computing education and to
present innovative courses and design projects in pervasive computing and
communications, mobile computing and communications, wearable computing, ad hoc
networking, and related topics. The workshop will include panel discussions,
peer-reviewed papers, and work-in-progress presentations.
