Call for Workshop Proposals

The Eighth IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications
PerCom 2010 (http//www.percom.org/)
Mannheim, Germany, March 29 - April 2, 2010

Sponsored by

IEEE PerCom, now at its eighth edition, is the premier scholarly venue in the
areas of pervasive computing and communications, which aim at providing a
ubiquitous platform for supporting exciting anytime and anyplace services
paradigms.

The PerCom 2010 Organizing Committee invites proposals for one-day workshops
affiliated with the conference.
The workshops will be held prior to, or after, the main conference.

The purpose of these workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas
in a less formal and possibly more focused way than at the conference itself.
Please visit http://www.percom.org to view information on workshops
held at PerCom previous editions.
Note that the workshops are expected to provide significant room for controversial
and stimulating discussions. The organisation of the workshop should thus take care
of planning the correct presentation format to enable such kind of lively
interaction. Plans to address this point should already be clear
at the workshop proposal stage.

Workshops Proposals are solicited in all areas and topics pertaining
to pervasive computing and communications research and applications.
Workshops addressing emerging research directions in the
pervasive computing and communication area are highly welcome.
