CALL FOR PAPERS
Pervasive computing is moving beyond the personal devices to everyday ‘things’ with embedded technology getting smaller and more powerful than ever before. This ubiquitous computing paradigm, commonly also referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT), will provide pervasive access to resources and services, facilitating smart living at homes, cars, buses, schools, universities, and other places. The connected smart things are often intended to improve life quality in terms of safety and security, energy efficiency, work productivity, etc., for users in their living spaces, but they also often aim at supporting a sustainable lifestyle by the use of, for instance, pervasive applications and systems intended to promote health, nutrition, comfort, social relationships, and entertainment.
From both societal, industrial and academic standpoints, a strong interest has evolved in research on pervasive applications and systems intended for smart living. This, in combination with crucial topics, such as middleware methodologies, privacy and security technologies, wearables and user interaction, software architectures, data processing and analytics, context-aware service provisioning, etc., frame the scope of PerLS.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers, industry practitioners, and the community interested in pervasive computing for smart living spaces. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of pervasive smart living are welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel applications, tools and devices
- Sensor technologies and systems
- Middleware methodologies
- Software architectures and systems
- Wearables and user interaction
- Context-aware service provisioning
- Data processing and analytics
- Distributed approaches for mobile context data sharing
- Data and situation visualization
- Social network applications and analysis
- Risk evaluation and threat agent modelling
- Security, trust, and privacy
- Multi-device collaboration involving wearable devices, smartphones, etc.
- Pervasive content sharing and media distribution
- Application and service interoperability issues
SUBMISSION AND REGISTRATION
Authors are invited to submit regular six-page papers for presentation at the workshop, describing original, previously unpublished work, which is not currently under review by another workshop, conference, or journal. Regular papers should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the workshop.
Workshop papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital libraries (Xplore).
Workshop papers should be at most 6 pages in the IEEE template. Papers in excess of page limits shall not be considered for review or publication.
It is a requirement that all authors listed in the submitted paper are also listed in EDAS. The author section of EDAS will be locked after the workshop submission deadline to ensure that conflict-of-interest can be properly enforced during review. If the list of authors differs between the paper and EDAS, the paper may not be reviewed. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered at full rate for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation.
Each accepted workshop paper requires a full PerCom registration (no registration is available for workshops only).
