[ns] PerCom 2013: Call for Demos

2012-11-10 Thread Payton, Jamie

PerCom Demo 2013 at PerCom'13

http://www.percom.org

18-22 March 2013, San Diego, USA



The IEEE Pervasive Computing and Communication (PerCom) conference, entering 
its 11th year, is a premier scholarly venue in the areas of pervasive computing 
and communications. The PerCom Demo Session offers high-quality demonstrations 
of all things pervasive from academia and industry. Demos demonstrating working 
systems, innovative applications, groundbreaking ideas, and novel concepts 
related to PerCom are welcome. Demos from industrial researchers as well as 
demos from academia with a significant relevance to industry are particularly 
encouraged.



A Best Demo Award will be presented based on research value, originality, and 
presentation.



Submission Guidelines:



* The demo proposals will be peer-reviewed. The evaluation criteria 
include: (1) extent and significance of the research contribution; (2) 
relevance to PerCom; (3) potential impact on the audience; (4) quality of the 
proposed implementation; (5) presentation quality.



* Prospective contributors are expected to turn in a demo proposal in the 
form of a short technical paper (no more than 3 pages) using the PerCom 
templates. The short paper must illustrate the research contribution of the 
demo, the practical setup, and the technical requirements. Short demo papers 
will be included in the PerCom proceedings.



* Demo proposals must be submitted through EDAS 
(https://edas.info/N13027?c=13027). The correct reception of each individual 
submission will be explicitly acknowledged by the demo co-chairs.



* At least one author of each accepted demo proposal is required to 
register and present their demo at the conference.



Topics include (but are not limited to):

* Innovative pervasive computing applications

* Adaptive and autonomic computing

* Mobile/Wireless computing systems and services

* Energy-efficient and green pervasive computing

* Ad hoc networks for pervasive communications

* Pervasive opportunistic applications

* Enabling technologies for pervasive systems

* Positioning and tracking technologies

* Sensors and RFIDs in pervasive systems

* Multimodal sensing and context applications

* Smart devices and intelligent environments

* Trust, security and privacy issues

* User interface, interaction in pervasive systems

* Pervasive computing aspects of social networking

* Virtual immersive communications

* Wearable computers

* Standards and interfaces for pervasive computing

* Context-aware computing
