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

IEEE PerCom, now in its seventh year, is the premier scholarly venue in the
areas of pervasive computing and communications, which aim at providing a
ubiquitous platform for supporting exciting anytime and anyplace services
paradigms. Pervasive computing and communications is a natural outcome of the
tremendous advances of a broad spectrum of technologies including wireless and
sensor networks, mobile and distributed computing, and agent technologies.
PerCom 2009 will provide a high profile, leading edge forum for researchers and
engineers alike to present state-of-the-art research in the respective fields of
pervasive computing and communications. The conference will feature a diverse
mixture of presentation forums including core technical sessions, several
targeted workshops, demonstrations, keynote speeches and panel discussions from
domain experts. The conference will take place in Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex,
one of the leading technology centers of the United States.

Topics of Interest:
Research contributions are solicited in all areas pertinent to pervasive
computing and communications, including:

- Ad hoc networks for pervasive communications
- Autonomic computing and communications
- Context-aware computing
- Enabling technologies (e.g., wireless BAN, PAN)
- Low power and green pervasive computing
- Middleware services and agent technologies
- Mobile/Wireless computing systems and services in pervasive computing
- Novel/innovative pervasive computing applications
- Pervasive computing and communication architectures
- Pervasive computing in the automotive domain
- Pervasive opportunistic communications and applications
- Pervasive sensing, perception and semantic interpretation
- Positioning and tracking technologies
- Programming paradigms for pervasive systems
- Quality of information (QoI) in sensor-enabled pervasive environments
- Sensors and RFID in pervasive systems
- Smart devices and intelligent environments
- Trust, security and privacy issues in pervasive systems
- User interfaces and interaction models
- Virtual immersive communications
- Wearable computers


Workshops and affiliated events:
Many workshops will be held in conjunction with the conference. Workshop
papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital libraries (Xplore),
showing their affiliation with IEEE PerCom. As in the past, PerCom 2009 will
also feature a PhD Forum, Demonstrations and a Work-in-Progress Session.

PerCom 2009 Submission Guidelines:
Submitted papers must be original and unpublished or under consideration
elsewhere for publication. Papers must show a significant relevance to pervasive
computing and networking. Only electronic submissions in PDF will be considered.
The page limit is 10 IEEE conference proceedings format 2-column pages
(including references, figures and tables, at least 11pt font). Detailed
electronic submission procedures will be available at http://www.percom.org. All
submitted papers will undergo a rigorous review process managed by the technical
program committee. IEEE Press will publish the conference proceedings. The best
paper will receive the prestigious Mark Weiser best paper award. Papers of
particular merit will be considered for a special issue of Elsevier's Pervasive
and Mobile Computing Journal.

Paper registration: September 15, 2008
Paper submission: September 22, 2008
Workshop proposal: May 23, 2008
Author notification: Dec. 12, 2008,
