? Doctoral Colloquium (4 pages)

Full papers should describe novel and mature work, and are limited to 8 pages including

references. Short papers should describe more focused and succinct, but mature work.

Pervasive Health will not accept papers that are currently under review, published or

accepted in another venue. All submissions must be anonymised. No identifying information

on Authors or their affiliation should appear on the paper (except for neutral references

to their own work).

Papers should be submitted through EasyChair system

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pervasivehealth2016

Please check the submission page for all submission details and templates:

Reviewing Process and Publication

Each paper will be blind, peer-reviewed by members of the Pervasive Health 2016 program

committee with additional expert reviewers drawn from relevant research domains.

Submissions will be evaluated based on their originality, significance of the contribution

to the field, technical correctness and presentation. The paper should make explicit how

the work offers unique and substantial contribution beyond what has already been

published or submitted. Authors will be invited to submit their camera-ready papers in

ACM format, to be published in ACM Digital Library. Proceedings?are also submitted for

inclusion to the leading indexing services: DBLP, Google Scholar, Thomson Scientific ISI

Proceedings, EI Elsevier Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus, as well as ICST's own

EU Digital Library (EUDL). In the previous years, the acceptance rate of the Pervasive

Health Conference was around 30%.
