Call for Papers:

The increasing number of devices that are invisibly embedded into our surrounding environment as well as the proliferation of wireless communication and sensing technologies are the basis for visions like ambient intelligence, ubiquitous and pervasive computing. The PECES project has created a comprehensive software layer to enable the seamless cooperation of embedded devices across various smart spaces on a global scale in a context-dependent, secure and trustworthy manner.
This will be the third workshop organised by the Project on “Pervasive Computing in Embedded Systems”. The first workshop was held on 21st October 2009 in conjunction with the eChallenges 2009 conference in Istanbul, Turkey and the second workshop was held on 10th November 2010 in conjunction with the AMI-10 conference in Malaga, Spain.

The purpose of the workshop is to show the results of the project including short demonstrations as part of the presentations and to provide the context to discuss the problems addressed by co-operative systems and co-operative sensors in a global-scale context where different smart spaces coexist. This workshop will provide a forum for PECES project technologies such as middleware, seamless access control, context ontologies and security for pervasive computing application. Application domains such as smart access control, eHealth and localization and navigation will be part of the contents provided in the workshop. Novel novel research papers from all aspect relevant to the workshop will be invited, being the key topics, but not limited:

Topics of Interest:

  • Information Ubiquity: ubiquitous information retrieval, context awareness, control of ubiquitous data, data management and processing, ontological models for devices’ context.
  • Knowledge-based and context dependent systems for mobility applications
  • Ubiquitous networks: middleware for pervasive computing, smart spaces, dynamic addressing and grouping, internet access in ubiquitous systems, reconfigurability of ubiquitous networks.
  • Ubiquitous devices and operative systems: embedded systems, mobile and wearable devices.
  • Collaborative ubiquitous systems: cooperative networks for ubiquitous systems, cooperative applications for ubiquitous networks, ad hoc collaboration in ubiquitous computing environments, awareness of collaboration and of work environment; inherently mobile collaborative work.
  • User and applications: Context and location-aware applications, development environments; tools and techniques for designing, implementing and evaluating ubiquitous systems, constructing, deploying and prototyping of ubiquitous applications; case studies; emerging industrial/business/scientific ubiquitous scenarios.
  • Security and Privacy Issues in Pervasive Computing

Posters

Posters are welcome. Please submit the contributions following the instructions for the regular submissions using the "Submit a Paper" button and selecting the contribution type as poster.  Submissions are expected to be 6-8 slide deck. Posters will not be published in the Proceedings. One poster with all the slides together should be used for discussions. Presenters will be allocated a space where they can display the slides and discuss in an informal manner. The poster slide decks will be posted on the IARIA site.

For more details, see the Posters explanation page.

Work in Progress

Work-in-progress contributions are welcome. Please submit the contributions following the instructions for the regular submissions using the "Submit a Paper" button and selecting the contribution type as work in progress.  Authors should submit a four-page (maximum) text manuscript in IEEE double-column format including the authors' names, affiliations, email contacts. Contributors must follow the conference deadlines, describing early research and novel skeleton ideas in the areas of the conference topics. The work will be published in the conference proceedings.

For more details, see the Work in Progress explanation page

Technical marketing/business/positioning presentations

The conference initiates a series of business, technical marketing, and positioning presentations on the same topics. Speakers must submit a 10-12 slide deck presentations with substantial notes accompanying the slides, in the .ppt format (.pdf-ed). The slide deck will not be published in the conference’s CD Proceedings. Presentations' slide decks will be posted on the IARIA's site. Please send your presentations to petre@iaria.org.

Tutorials

Tutorials provide overviews of current high interest topics. Proposals should be for three hour tutorials. Proposals must contain the title, the summary of the content, and the biography of the presenter(s). The tutorials' slide decks will be posted on the IARIA's site. Please send your proposals to petre@iaria.org

Panel proposals:

The organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and paradigms. Panel moderators are asked to identify their guests and manage that their appropriate talk supports timely reach our deadlines. Moderators must specifically submit an official proposal, indicating their background, panelist names, their affiliation, the topic of the panel, as well as short biographies. The panel's slide deck will be posted on the IARIA's site.
