CALL FOR WORKSHOPS PROPOSALS

7th IEEE International Conference on
Pervasive Computing and Communications
PerCom 2009
Dallas, March 16-20, 2009
**** Workshop Proposals Deadline - May 23, 2008 ****
Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society
The University of Texas at Arlington

IEEE PerCom 2009 will be the seventh annual conference on the emerging area of pervasive computing and communications aimed at providing an exciting platform and paradigm for anytime, anywhere services.

The PerCom2009 Organizing Committee invites proposals for one-day workshops affiliated with the conference. The workshops will be held prior to, or after, the main conference (i.e., on the 16th and/or 20th of March). PerCom provides a unique opportunity for workshops, as the participation to workshops is included in the PerCom registration. Workshop proposals are especially encouraged to state how they could integrate conference participants in their discussion and program.

The purpose of the Percom workshops is to provide a forum for presenting novel ideas with more selected focus and in a less formal environment than the main conference. Please visit http://www.percom.org to view information on workshops held at previous PerComs.

Accepted workshop papers will be published in the IEEE PerCom adjunct Proceedings, an IEEE publication.

Workshops Proposals are solicited in all areas and topics pertaining to pervasive computing and communications research and applications.
