PerCol 2016 - 7th IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Collaboration and Social Networking

Pervasive collaboration is a crosscutting concern in many of today’s pervasive infrastructures and systems. Addressing the challenges of the manifold approaches to collaboration requires interdisciplinary research considering pervasive computing, context awareness, embedded systems, Internet of Things, and social networks. The sixth workshop on Pervasive Collaboration and Social Networking (PerCol) aims to bring together researchers from the areas of pervasive computing and social computing to explore the possibilities and challenges of future Pervasive Social Computing applications. While the primary focus is on pervasive technologies for human-to-human interaction, we also welcome contributions on machine-to-machine (M2M) interaction and coordination, opening a perspective of new technologies and applications for Pervasive Social Computing among humans and smart devices/things.
