===============================================
IEEE International Workshop on Pervasive Computing and Ad Hoc Communications (PCAC'06), to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 20th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA'06) 18 - 20 April 2006, Vienna, Austria website: http://snowhite.cis.uoguelph.ca/~denko/pcac06.html ============================================
Aim and scope
---------------------- Pervasive computing has emerged as a new computing and communication environment with the aim of providing services anytime and anywhere for everyone. To facilitate resource sharing and support group communications, pervasive computing devices should be able to support ad hoc communications and networking. With ad hoc communications, seamless and transparent access to services and applications can be achieved while providing mechanisms for establishing spontaneous and interactive networking among communicating entities. Despite considerable progress in mobile computing and wireless communication technologies, new user demands and emerging applications introduce challenges in several areas including security, privacy, processing, auto configuration, scalability, software infrastructure, communication models and networking infrastructure. To support flexibility and unlimited mobility, services and applications should adapt to heterogeneous networking environment supporting multihop communication in hybrid wired/wireless environment. This workshop will bring together researchers and
practitioners
from industry and academia to present their current research results and discuss future trends in pervasive computing and ad hoc communications. Topics of Interest
------------------------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Pervasive computing architectures * Wearable computers * Smart devices and smart spaces * Location-dependent and personalized applications * Service discovery mechanisms * Agent technologies * Mobility management * Sensors and actuators * Resource management * Embedded systems * Device and service interaction * Location-aware services * Middleware for pervasive computing * Middleware fro ad hoc computing * Hardware, OS and convergence issues * Security and privacy issues for pervasive computing systems * Positioning and tracking technologies * Identification and authentication technologies * Social Issues and Implications of pervasive computing * Data management infrastructure and algorithms * Caching and prefetching strategies * Resource discovery * Ad hoc communication and networking * Group communication and management * Ad hoc computing * User interfaces and interaction models * Prototyping and performance evaluation * Personal Area networks * Integration of wired and wireless networks * Enabling technologies such as Bluetooth, 802.11 and 802.15 * Context based and implicit computing * Ad hoc networking protocols and service discovery Submissions
------------------ The manuscript must follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format), contact addresses, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail addresses (text format) to the co-chairs Mieso Denko (denko at cis.uoguelph.ca) and Xiao Chen (xc10 at txstate.edu) by 20 September,2005. Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance. International Journal - Special
