APC 2012 - International Workshop on Advances in Pervasive Computing (APC-2012)

International Workshop on Advances in Pervasive Computing (APC-2012)
3 - 5 August 2012, Chennai, India
http://www.icacci-conference.org/apc2012.html

Pervasive computing refers to the increasing integration of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) into people's lives and environments. It has many potential applications, from health and home care to environmental monitoring and intelligent transport systems. Though all the basic component technologies exist today, there are several research challenges remain in all areas of pervasive computing. The first International Workshop on Advances in Pervasive Computing (APC 2012) will provide a forum for exchange of ideas among researchers and engineers in the field of pervasive computing.
CALL FOR PAPERS

APC-2012 invites original and unpublished work from individuals active in the broad theme of the Workshop. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not considered elsewhere for publication. Also, they must show a significant relevance to pervasive computing and networking. Only electronic submissions in PDF format will be considered. Papers must be 10 pages or less in size, including references, figures and tables. Further guidelines for submission are posted at http://www.icacci-conference.org/callpaper.html .
Authors should submit their papers online at http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=11723. Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous review process handled by the Technical Program Committee. Acceptance of papers will be communicated to authors by email. The Conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and all the accepted papers will be archived in the ACM digital library. At least one full paying author of each accepted paper must register for the Conference before the indicated deadline.
