This conference will feature contributions that present advances in computing technology toward new modes of operation (ubiquitous, continuous, and self-organized) and toward new usage models (ambient, context-aware, and integral with human activity and environments). Building on the success of previous conferences in this series held in Zurich (August 2002) and in Linz/Vienna (April 2004), PERVASIVE 2005 is a highly selective single-track program for technical papers, accompanied by posters, videos, demonstrations, workshops, and a doctoral colloquium. Full papers are included in the conference proceedings published by Springer-Verlag as Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and will also be made available through digital libraries. Short papers and extended abstracts for poster, video and demo contributions will be included in adjunct proceedings. Programme: --- Keynote: http://www.pervasive.ifi.lmu.de/keynote.html We are exited to have Rolf Pfeifer as a keynote speaker at PERVASIVE 2005. He will speak about Intelligent Artifacts: the Interaction of Brain, Body, and Environment. Papers: http://www.pervasive.ifi.lmu.de/paper.html At the conference, 20 papers reporting original research in the field of Pervasive Computing will be presented. These papers, which are included in the conference proceedings published by Springer-Verlag, were selected in a peer-review process by an international program committee. PERVASIVE 2005 received 130 full paper submissions. Posters: http://www.pervasive.ifi.lmu.de/poster.html In the category of Late breaking Results, there will be an exhibition of 13 posters at the conference reception. These poster highlight recent advances in pervasive computing and will be published on in the adjunct proceedings and on the conference website. Demos: http://www.pervasive.ifi.lmu.de/demo.html Videos: http://www.pervasive.ifi.lmu.de/video.html For the presentation at the conference, 11 research demonstrations and 6 videos were selected from the submissions received. Researchers show in these categories a wide range of recent achievements in pervasive computing. Demos and Videos are also included in the adjunct proceedings and will be presented on the conference website. Doctoral Colloquium: http://www.pervasive.ifi.lmu.de/doc-colloq.html The doctoral colloquium is a forum were PhD-Students in Pervasive Computing can discuss their work with leading researchers in this area. 11 students were selected based on their submission. The accepted submissions will be included in the adjunct proceedings. Workshops: http://www.pervasive.ifi.lmu.de/workshop.html On Wednesday 11th of March 2005, 8 Workshops will be held that focus on special topics in Pervasive computing. Please be aware that most of these workshops are only open to participants who have submitted a position paper. If you are interested in one of the workshops, please feel free to contact the workshop organizer. LoCo: http://loca2005.context-aware.org/ In cooperation with PERVASIVE 2005, the International Workshop on Location- and Context-Awareness (LoCA 2005) is held. The workshop takes place on the 12th and 13th of March 2005 at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich. A detailed overview of the conference program is available at: http://www.pervasive.ifi.lmu.de/program.html Conference Location, Travel and Registration: --- Pervasive 2005 will be held in the heart of Munich at the MARITIM Hotel. The conference location is only 300 meters from Munich central railway station (München Hauptbahnhof). It is easily reachable in about 45 minutes by public transport from Munich International Airport.
