           CALL  FOR PAPERS

     International Symposium on Pervasive Grid (PerGrid-08)

     In conjunction with 2008 IEEE 11th International
     Conference on Computational Science and Engineering, July
     16-18, 2008 - Sao Paulo - Brazil

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


We invite you to participate in the International
Symposium on Pervasive Grid (PerGrid-08), to be held in Sao
Paulo, Brazil on the 16th-18th July 2008. This Symposium
brings the integration of two important subjects of
nowadays researches (Grid and Pervasive Computing) which
originated the Pervasive Grid.

Pervasive Grid stands for hardware and software
infrastructures or space/environment that provides
proactive, autonomic, trustworthy, and inexpensive access
to pervasive resource sharing capabilities anywhere,
anytime, anyhow. Such resources can be either high
performance clusters or smart devices such as sensors,
appliances, robots etc. This symposium intends to serve as
the forum for the latest advances in Pervasive Grid
research.

This symposium seeks topics among the following challenges
in Pervasive Grid (but not limited to):

- Power management
- Real-time embedded systems
- Sensor networks
- Universal ID
- Devices miniaturization
- Ubiquitous/pervasive networks
- Ad hoc mobility
- Open service architecture
- Sensed information overload & database
- Context semantics & management
- Autonomic system administration
- User interfaces
- Operating systems
- Languages
- Middlewares
- Integration
- Cooperation
- Scalability
- Heterogeneity
- Dependability
- Availability
- Security and privacy
- Test
- Evaluation
- Standards

Paper Submission
----------------
Submit your paper by http://cse.stfx.ca/~cse08workshops/sub/.
Authors are expected to submit a paper in PDF format with
5-10 keywords following the IEEE CS format. Program
committee members and external reviewers will provide
authors with independent reviews. Submitted papers will be
ranked based on relevance to the Conference and technical
merit. Final version of accepted papers should be at most 6
pages and will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press
with the CSE-08 workshop proceedings. Authors of accepted
papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register
and present their work at the conference, otherwise their
papers will be removed from the IEEE Digital Library after
the conference.

Important Dates
---------------
Paper submission due:  March 10, 2008 (extended)
Paper notification of acceptance: April 01, 2008
Final camera ready: April 25, 2008

Special Issue
-------------
Selected high quality papers will be invited for possible publication in
the Special Issue of the International Journal of  Multimedia and
Ubiquitous Engineering after further extension.
