PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 1, 2002

Pervasive computing and communications is emerging as an exciting new
paradigm with a goal to provide computing and communication services all

the time everywhere. This is a natural outcome of research and
technological
advances in wireless networks, mobile computing, distributed computing
and
agent technologies. PerCom is the annual IEEE conference on pervasive
computing and communications.  PerCom2003 will provide a high profile,
leading edge forum for researchers and engineers alike to present their
latest advances in the field of pervasive computing and communications.
PerCom 2003 will also feature two special tracks on intelligent
environments
and mobile agents.

TOPICS:
----------------
Contributions are solicited in all areas of pervasive computing
research.
These include, but are not limited to the following feature topics:

·       Pervasive computing architectures
·       Intelligent environments
·       Wearable computers
·       Smart devices and smart spaces
·       Location-dependent / personalized applications
·       Service discovery mechanisms
·       Agent technologies
·       Sensors and actuators
·       Positioning and tracking technologies
·       Identification and authentication technologies
·       Integration of wired and wireless networks
·       Personal area networks
·       Enabling technologies such as Bluetooth, 802.11 and 802.15
·       Software coordination models
·       Mobile / wireless computing systems and services
·       Context based and implicit computing
·       Speech processing / advanced computer vision
·       User interfaces and interaction models
·       Wireless/mobile service management and delivery
·       Ad hoc networking protocols and service discovery
·       Resource management in pervasive computing platforms
·       Security and privacy issues for pervasive computing systems


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication
elsewhere. Authors are encouraged to submit papers in electronic form,
postscript or PDF only. The page limit for submissions is 15 pages
(1.5 line spaced, excluding references, figures and tables). More
details
on submission procedures are posted on the official PerCom website:
