Call for Papers
International Conference on Pervasive Computing
PERVASIVE 2002
August 26-28, 2002
ETH Zurich (Switzerland)
Organized by IBM Research and ETH Zurich
www.pervasive2002.org
Relentless progress in basic Information Technologies (IT) -
microprocessors, memory chips, integrated sensors, storage devices,
and wireless communication systems - continues to bring ever smaller,
lighter, and faster systems-on-a-chip. As a result, beyond large hosts,
PCs, and laptop computers, IT systems are now invading every aspect
of life to the point that they are disappearing inside all sorts of
appliances or can be worn unobtrusively as part of clothing and jewelry.
This explosive spread of IT can be compared to the spread of electric
motors over the past century but promises to revolutionize life much
more
profoundly than elevators or electric car windows ever did. At the same
time, pervasive computing poses profound challenges including technical,
safety, social, legal, political, and economic issues.
The objective of this conference will be to present, discuss, and
explore latest technical developments in the emerging field of pervasive
computing as well as potential future directions and issues. Leaving
aside low-level hardware and transmission technology topics as well as
peripheral socio-economic aspects, the conference will focus on
technical
infrastructure and application issues. It will include presentations,
panel discussions, poster sessions, and demos on subjects like:
- System architectures and platforms for pervasive computing
- Middleware and pervasive computing infrastructures
- Mobile, wireless, and wearable technologies
- Innovative small computing and intelligent devices
- Emerging applications and mobile business issues
- Scenarios for information appliances
- Service discovery protocols
- Content distribution and delivery
- User interfaces for invisible and embedded computing
- Context awareness
- Security and privacy issues
Proceedings (containing the full papers) will be published by
Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series. Advice
for authors and instructions for submitting a paper, poster or demo may
be found at http://www.pervasive2002.org/submit.html
