Session 4: Open Panel Discussion

Topic: Is the App Store Pervasive Computing?

Topic

Designing systems to support pervasive computing poses many challenges due to new requirements for system creation, deployment, configuration, scaling, and maintenance. The goal of PerWare is to explore these challenges through practical and buildable solutions.

PerWare solicits position papers that focus on system building in pervasive computing, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

Platforms for pervasive computing
Operating system and distributed systems support for pervasive computing
Software engineering techniques for pervasive computing (including design patterns, metrics, and application models)
Adaptable, recoverable, and fault tolerant pervasive computing systems
Resource and energy efficient pervasive systems
Security and privacy of pervasive computing
Management, configuration, and deployment of pervasive systems

We also welcome papers on novel applications or environments that have a strong systems component, especially if those novel applications and environments challenge existing ideas and design techniques.

Systems presented at PerWare need not be fully built or evaluated; they need only provoke discussion.

Submission

Submissions of papers are solicited in the IEEE 8.5x11 conference format and must not exceed six pages. Research papers must be original prior unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop.

Paper submissions will be handled online. Note that one week prior to submission, papers must be registered with their title, authors and abstract. To register and submit a paper, please follow this link: online submission.

Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop, and will appear in the IEEE PerCom workshop proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. At least one author must have a full registration for the conference (there is no workshop only registration) and present the paper. Failure to do so will result in the paper not being included in the IEEE Digital Library.
