WiP 2011 - Work in Progress 9th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications PerCom 2011

Work in Progress

9th IEEE International Conference on
Pervasive Computing and Communications
PerCom 2011
Seattle, USA, March 21 - March 25, 2011

The work-in-progress (WiP) session, included in PerCom for the sixth year, gives its participants an opportunity to present and discuss early and emerging results and bring about novel research questions, approaches, and directions. The specific aim of the WiP session is to provide a forum for timely presentation, discussion and feedback for novel, controversial, and thought provoking ideas. All selected papers will be presented as posters in a special WiP conference session and included in PerCom workshop proceedings to be published by IEEE and included in the digital library.

ontributions are solicited in all areas of pervasive computing research and applications. Papers are expected to report on early or ongoing research on any aspect of pervasive computing and communications. Novel approaches and results are especially sought for as is ongoing experimentation.

Topics:

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Innovative pervasive computing applications
Software engineering aspects of pervasive computing
Middleware services and agent technologies
Smart grid sensing, control and communications
Social and economics aspects of pervasive computing
Wearable systems
Ambient ecologies
Multimodal sensing and context for pervasive applications
Pervasive sensing, perception and semantic interpretation
Pervasive opportunistic communications and applications
Enabling technologies for pervasive systems (e.g., wireless BAN, PAN)
Positioning and tracking technologies
Virtual and immersive systems, cognitive pervasive architectures
Adaptive, autonomic and context-aware computing
Mobile/Wireless computing systems and services in pervasive computing
Energy-efficient and green pervasive computing
Communication architectures for pervasive computing
Ad hoc networks for pervasive communications
Sensors and RFID in pervasive systems
Social and economic models for pervasive systems
Submission Guidelines:

Authors are requested to submit original, unpublished manuscripts in standard IEEE proceedings format (two-column format with a 4-page limit including figures, tables, and references) in PDF format that include contact information of all the authors to the EDAS submission site.

If you have any questions, please send email to the WIP chair.

The submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by the WiP Program Committee. The authors of accepted papers will present their work during the main conference in a special WiP poster session and must register for the conference. The papers of the WiP session will be published in the proceedings of the Eighth Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications.
