Call for Papers

The 2008 International Conference on
Intelligent Pervasive Computing (IPC-08)
Sydney, Australia, December 10th ~ 12th, 2008 
 
http://IPC2008.he.NiAS.ac.jp 

Pervasive computing is the trend towards increasingly ubiquitous, connected computing devices in the environment, a trend being brought about by a convergence of advanced electronic - and particularly, wireless - technologies and the Internet.

Pervasive computing aims to make our lives simpler through the use of tools that allow us to manage information easily. These "tools" are a new class of intelligent, portable devices that allow the user to plug into powerful networks and gain direct, simple, and secure access to both relevant information and services.Intelligent pervasive computing will change the computing landscape because it will enable new breeds of applications and systems to be developed; the realm of computing possibilities will be significantly extended.

The IPC-08 conference provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government to address profound issues including technical challenges, safety, social, legal, political, and economic issues, and to present and discuss their ideas, results, work in progress and experience on all aspects of embedded and ubiquitous computing. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

(1) Mobile and Wireless Communications
(2) Database and data Mining
(3) Multimedia
(4) Embedded Systems and Software
(5) Security, Privacy and Trust
(6) Pervasive Applications
(7) Agent and Intelligent Computing
(8) Service and Semantic Computing
(9) Grid, P2P and Scalable Computing
(10) Dependable, Reliable and Autonomic Computing
