Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop (PUC 2009)

To be held in conjunction with IWCMC 2009,

June 21-24, 2009, Leipzig, Germany

Aims and scope of the workshop

At the same time as the number of connections, wired or wireless for

each electronic device is increasing the number of electronic devices

surrounding each individual is also multiplying. This will pave the

way for the realisation of pervasive/ubiquitous computing where the

user is making use of many devices and systems simultaneously, in the

course of daily activities, without having to make effort or even

being aware of them. These devices and systems will then collaborate

and form together an ambient intelligence that offers personalised

services to the user. However, in order to realise this exciting

vision, it is necessary to address and find solutions to many

challenges such as seamless access, device and service discovery,

service continuity, middleware for pervasive computing, identity,

privacy, security, trust, etc.

The IWCMC 2009 Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop will serve as

an ideal meeting place for developers, researchers, practitioners, and

educators who are interested or working within the field of mobile,

pervasive/ubiquitous computing. It will, hopefully, act as a catalyst

for the realisation of the vision of pervasive computing.

Topics of interest

Submissions are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics:

-Technologies and devices for pervasive computing

-Applications and services of pervasive computing technologies

-Seamless access and Service continuity in pervasive computing

-Customisation and personalisation of services

-Context-aware services

-Device and service discovery in pervasive computing

-Middleware for pervasive computing

-Interfaces and modes of interactions between people and pervasive

computing devices, applications or environments

-Tools, infrastructures, architectures and techniques for designing,

implementing & deploying pervasive computing applications

-Evaluations and evaluation methods, for assessing the impact of

pervasive computing devices, applications or environments

-Privacy, security, trust & social issues and implications of

pervasive computing Identity management in pervasive computing

-Intelligent and smart environments

-Opportunistic pervasive computing

-Autonomic management of ubiquitous systems

Submission Guidelines

The IWCMC 2009 Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Workshop welcomes novel

and unpublished papers in the field of Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing.

Submissions must include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the e-mail

address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 6 pages,

including tables and figures (up to two extra pages at additional

cost) in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt

font). The proceedings of the workshop will be published as part of

IWCMC2009 main conference, by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE

Digital Library. Selected papers will be further considered for

possible publication in a Special Issue of an International Journal

(pending) after further extension.

Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that,

should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will

register for the conference and present the work. Submissions will be

conducted electronically on the conference website:

http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6827&.

Important Dates

Paper Submission Deadline: 20 January 2009 (extended)

Paper Acceptance Notification: 25 March 2009

Camera-ready Paper Submissions: 15 April 2009

Registration Deadline for Authors: 15 April 2009
