=======================================================================
Second Call for Papers ** Deadline extended to November 18th **

First International Workshop on Communication, Collaboration and Social
Networking in Pervasive Computing Environments (PerCol 2010)

April 2, 2010, Mannheim, Germany
www1.inf.tu-dresden.de/~ts2/PerCol/


held in conjunction with the Eighth Annual IEEE International Conference
on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2010)
www.percom.org

=======================================================================

WORKSHOP SCOPE

The rapid rise of online social communities has created a new paradigm
for personal networking. In a logical - and rapid progression - many
social communities are now going mobile, using smart phones or other
wireless devices instead of the PC. A 2006 report from ABI Research
titled Mobile Social Communities says that social networking is going to
have a major impact on mobile phones. The report says that the mobile
social community numbers around 50 million users globally and that by
2011 the number will reach 174 million. In combination with further
pervasive computing technologies mobile social networks will have a high
impact on the way of communication and collaboration in Pervasive
Computing environments. It will enable extended presence and awareness
as well as flexible adaptation based on sensing infrastructures, new
forms of interaction with computing devices influencing collaboration of
humans, new forms of virtual togetherness based on technologies virtual
environments and 3D web and Spontaneous interaction using Peer-to-peer
and ad-hoc networking technologies.

The goal of the PerCol workshop is to present the most recent research
achievements in systems design, experimental evaluations and practical
experiences in the named field. It should provide a forum for
researchers and practitioners to discuss formal aspects, middleware
platforms and services, protocols and mechanisms, applications and case
studies in the context of communication, collaboration, and social
networking in pervasive computing environments.

Topics of interest to the workshop include (but are not limited to):

- Theories, concepts, experiments and practical experiences
- Platforms, frameworks and service environments
- Location-, proximity and map-based mechanisms and applications
- Mobile social networks and community-based technologies
- Interest matching algorithms based on context, location, and proximity
- Context-awareness and adaptation
- Group context and group adaptation for mobile collaboration
- Enriched awareness and presence based on virtual environments,
sensor infrastructures and 3D web
- Aspects of privacy and security in pervasive collaboration and
social networks
- Live multimedia streaming and collaborative on-demand streaming
- New types of real-time and non real-time collaboration
- New forms of interactions with devices and sensor-controlled
interactions
- Adoption of federated device infrastructures
- Collaborative sharing and editing mechanisms and protocols
- Spontaneous interaction using Peer-to-peer and ad-hoc networking
technologies
- Dynamic service binding and deployment
- Multi-platform development of mobile collaborative applications
- Energy efficient and mobile enabled protocols
- Resource management and scheduling for mobile devices
- Support for mobile marketplaces

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

Submitted papers must be unpublished and not considered elsewhere for
publication. Also, they must show a significant relevance to the
workshop topics of communication, collaboration and social networking in
pervasive computing.

All papers should be in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format. Papers will be
limited to 6 pages. Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous review
process handled by the Technical Program Committee. Accepted papers will
appear in the PerCom'10 Workshops proceedings published by IEEE Computer
Society Press.

Please note that all accepted papers need to have a full registration to
the conference (there is no workshop only registration). No-shows of
accepted papers at the workshop will result in those papers NOT being
included in the IEEE digital libraries.

In addition to regular workshop papers, position papers of 2 pages in
IEEE 8.5x11 conference format can be submitted. Position papers should
contain any topic of interest within the scope of the workshop,
especially late breaking results, work in progress, and discussion of
future trends. Position papers will be published on the workshop web
page and should be presented during an moderated discussion session
during the workshop.

Please submit your paper in PDF format via the electronic submission
system available in EasyChair:

https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=percol2010.
