Pervasive
Computing (or
Ubiquitous Computing) is an information model that enables data to be
accessed and
processed anytime and anywhere. Basically, various practical issues
such as
physical limitation and cost-benefit tradeoffs make pervasive computing
model a
natural choice for implementation of complicated applications. These
applications usually involve computing facilities and network devices
with
dramatically different processing power, energy constraints, and
networking
technologies, thereby demanding seamless integration of various domains
in an
efficient manner. A typical example is wireless Internet access from
mobile
users. Recent demand for pervasive computing includes body sensor
networks that
enable remote health monitoring of patients.
While many pervasive computing models and protocols have been proposed to enable the integration of various computing and networking domains, a much less attention is given on the design and implementation of such systems and infrastructures in real applications. Without real implementation, it is difficult to evaluate the performance of existing models and protocols and discover further issues for additional improvement.
This
workshop features all recent
advances in pervasive computing systems and tools, with an
focus on building
and performance
evaluation of infrastructures and testbeds. We would
like
solicit original
papers from both academia and industry on the following (but not
limited to)
topics:
- Pervasive Computing Infrastructures and Testbeds
- Pervasive Wireless Networking Infrastructures
- Pervasive Multimedia System Infrastructures
- Pervasive Wireless Mesh Network Infrastructures
- Pervasive Sensor Network (especially RFID and Body Sensor Networks) Infrastructures
- Pervasive Healthcare and Telemedicine Infrastructures
