SCOPE

Pervasive services and computing are emerging as the next computing paradigm
in which infrastructure and services are seamlessly available anywhere, anytime,
and in any format. This exciting new paradigm is the result of recent research
and technological advances in wireless & sensor networks, distributed systems,
mobile & agent computing and autonomic computing & services. The 2005 ACS/IEEE
International Conference on Pervasive Services (ICPS 2005), to be held in the
beautiful island of Santorini, Greece provides a forum for researchers, engineers,
application & service developers and users to present their latest advances in
the field of pervasive computing and services.


TOPICS

Original contributions are solicited in all pervasive computing & services research
and applications. Contributions for industry and application sessions are also
solicited. Topics include, but are not limited to:
 
* Pervasive and autonomous computing and architectures
* Mobile Computing
* Wearable Computing
* Smart Devices and Networks
* Wireless & Sensor Networks
* Middleware support for pervasive and mobile computing
* Pervasive computing and Management
* Speech processing / advanced computer vision
* User interfaces and interaction model
* Positioning and Tracking Technologies
* Programmable and active networks
* Service dissemination and discovery protocols
* Environments & algorithms for pervasive application development
* Runtime support for intelligent, adaptive agents
* Security services for applications in pervasive environments
* Programming paradigms for pervasive computing applications
* Pervasive computing applications requirements
* Performance measurement and Benchmarking



PAPER SUBMISSIONS

ICPS'05 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work.  
Please submit extended abstracts (10 pages maximum in IEEE double-column format).
Paper submission should be electronic in PS or PDF format. Questions concerning
hardcopy submissions or any other issues may be directed to the Program Chair at
icps2005@cs.ucr.edu. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the
authors to register and present the paper. The best papers will be published in
a special issue of a respected research journal.



TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS

Tutorial and workshop proposals are solicited. Further information can be obtained
by contacting the Tutorials Chair/Workshop Chair.


PROCEEDINGS

The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and
distributed at the conference.
