Conference Announcement and Preliminary Call for Papers

---------------------------------------------------------
IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing
and Communications (PerCom),

Paper Submission Deadline --- October 1, 2002

Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
---------------------------------------------------------

Pervasive computing and communications is emerging as an
exciting new paradigm with a goal to provide computing and
communication services all the time everywhere.  This is a
natural outcome of research and technological advances in
wireless networks, mobile computing, distributed computing
and agent technologies. Research is already in progress at
universities and the industry to revolutionize a wide
spectrum of applications including telemedicine, military,
transportation, education, day-to-day life, exploiting this
new paradigm. There is a need for a strong forum to create
an atmosphere for researchers and developers to present
their work, exchange ideas and participate in discussions.
PerCom is the annual IEEE conference on pervasive computing
and communications.  PerCom2003 will provide a high profile,
leading edge forum for researchers and engineers alike to
present their latest advances in the field of pervasive
computing and communications. PerCom2003 will also feature
two special tracks on intelligent environments and mobile agents.

Feature Topics:

Contributions are solicited in all pervasive computing
research and applied areas.  These include, but are not
limited to, the following feature topics:

b       Pervasive computing architectures
b       Intelligent environments
b       Wearable computers
b       Smart devices and smart spaces
b       Location-dependent/personalized applications
b       Service discovery mechanisms
b       Agent technologies
b       Sensors and actuators
b       Positioning and tracking technologies
b       Identification and authentication technologies
b       Integration of wired and wireless networks
b       Personal area networks
b       Enabling technologies such as Bluetooth, 802.11 and 802.15
b       Software coordination models
b       Mobile / wireless computing systems and services
b       Context based and implicit computing
b       Speech processing / advanced computer vision
b       User interfaces and interaction models

b       Wireless/mobile service management and delivery
b       Ad hoc networking protocols and service discovery
b       Operating systems for pervasive computing platforms
b       Security and privacy issues for pervasive computing systems

* Submission Guidelines:
Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for
publication elsewhere. Authors are encouraged to submit
papers in electronic form, postscript or PDF only. The page limit
