ISPAN 2012 - International Symposium on Pervasive Systems, Algorithms, and Networks (ISPAN)

The International Symposium on Pervasive Systems, Algorithms, and Networks
(ISPAN) is a forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners throughout
the world to exchange ideas and research results related to the design, use,
analysis, and application of pervasive systems, algorithms, and networks.

City of San Marcos is 26 miles south of Austin, Capital of Texas and the
world capital of live music, and 47 miles north of San Antonio, famous for
Spanish missions, the Alamo, and the River Walk. San Marcos has an Outlet
Mall which has more than 350 stores including Neiman Marcus, Coach, Gucci
and more for you to shop till you drop. ABC's ?The View? has ranked it the
third best place to shop in the world. Weather in central Texas in December
is generally mild with an average high/low temperature: 60/40 degrees
Fahrenheit.
