Call for Papers and Participation
International Workshop on Pervasive Computing
in conjunction with
The 29th International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP 2000)
Toronto, Canada, August 21-24, 2000
The importance of pervasive or ubiquitous computing is rapidly increasing
with the
current trend towards universal presence of mobile computing, computer
networks,
and wireless communication in everyday life. The word "pervasive" means
having
power to spread throughout. Pervasive Computing essentially means to enable
network
devices to be aware of their surroundings and peers, and to be capable to
provide
services to and use services from peers effectively.
The proposed workshop intends to bring together the researchers and
practitioners
working on diverse aspects of this important emerging area in order to
identify
current status, fundamental issues, future problems and applications. We
invite
papers describing both theoretical and experimental research as well as
experience
reports and position papers.
Topics will include, but not are limited to:
* Computing and communication paradigms
* Infrastructures issues
* Security and authentication issues
* E-commerce
* Service issues: interface and semantics,
discovery/advertisement and applications
* Resource discovery and utilization
* Power conservation
* User interfaces
* Agents and brokers
* Information sharing, access, storage and management
* Dynamic context (e.g., time, space, and events)
* Enabling technologies
Original papers describing ongoing or completed research and development
efforts are sought. Submissions must not exceed 10 pages in
length. The accepted papers will be published in the workshop
proceedings. Interested authors should electronically mail a PDF file
or a Postscript (ghostviewable) file of the paper to Sandeep K S
Gupta, Department of Computer Science, Colorado State University ,
Ft. Collins, CO 80523 USA, Voice: + 970 491-7323, Fax: + 970 491-2466,
