PerHot: The 1st International IEEE Workshop on Hot Topics in Pervasive Computing and Communication.
Pervasive Computing has matured significantly in the two decades since the first Mark Weiser papers. Rather than continue to mine the space of his ideas, we think it's time to explore new wild and crazy ? “hot” ? ideas. The goal of PerHot is to discuss such new and controversial ideas in the whole of Pervasive Computing and Communication. No idea or model is sacred. Is pervasive middleware dead. Do we really need another context paper? How come there are no “real-world” pervasive systems? Are approaches like e.g. cyber-physical systems changing our understanding of Pervasive Computing or are they just a different view on the same vision? Should we stop citing the Weiser paper? We specifically call for early ideas, demo systems, and well-reasoned attacks on the status quo of Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing. Papers will be judged on their ability to generate discussion and encourage brainstorming among workshop participants.
