Pervasive computing envisages a world of communicating miniature devices, sensors and actuators to provide ambient and personalised services. Building on the current technology, it is ready for a wide range of applications that support and gradually change our everyday life. The goal of ICPCA2008 is to further explore both theoretical and practical issues in pervasive computing. It also aims to foster the exchange of ideas and collaboration for both researchers and practitioners. The organising committee is soliciting paper submissions for the main conference and its special tracks.
Following on the success of previous conferences in the series held in Urmqi, China (August 2006) and Birmingham, UK (July 2007), the 3rd International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Appilcations (ICPCA2008) features one generic technical track as well as five special interest tracks.
Topics
Interested topics include (but are not limited to):
- Software infrastructure, middleware
and frameworks for
pervasive computing
- Mobile and Wearable Computing
- Wireless Networks and Communications
for Pervasive
Computing
- The Semantic Web and Pervasive
Computing
- Cross-Media for Pervasive
Computing
- The Data Grid and Pervasive
Computing
- Data and knowledge management
for Pervasive Computing
- HCI Technologies for Pervasive
Computing
- Security, Trust, Privacy, and
other Socio-technical Issues in
Pervasive Computing
- Innovative Applications of
Pervasive Computing and case
studies
All papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the ICPCA2008 programme committee and selected reviewers. ICPCA2008 extends its interests in pervasive computer with special tracks on collaborative work, health care, e-learning, etc. Please refer to track call for papers for further details. In addition to technical papers, ICPCA2008 will include keynote speeches, late breaking results, poster presentations, and demonstrations.
Submission of Papers
All papers must be unpublished
and should not be under simultaneous
review for any other
conferences and workshops.
Papers must be written in English
and formatted according to
the IEEE conference proceedings.
Research papers should be
no more than six pages including
references and illustrations.
Position papers and system
demos are also welcome. Electronic

Author Guidelines for ICPCA08 Proceedings Manuscripts)
Publication
All submitted papers will be
reviewed by programme committee
members and selected
based on their originality, significance,
relevance, and clarity of
presentation. Accepted papers
will be included in the IEEE
Xplore digital library and are EI-indexed.
Authors of selected
papers will be invited to submit
a revised and expanded version
of their papers to be considered
for publication in special issues
of well-known international
journals.
Special Tracks
A number of special-track sessions
will be held in parallel with
the general conference. Special
tracks are an integral part of ICPCA2008 offering researchers
in focused areas the forum for
wide interaction and collaboration.
For paper submissions to a
special track, authors should
contact the track chair directly
