CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS

Proposal Submission Deadline: April 10, 2012

Book Title: Intelligent Technologies and Techniques for Pervasive Computing

A book edited by
Kostas Kolomvatsos, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece
Asst. Prof. Christos Anagnostopoulos, Ionian University, Corfu, Greece and
Asst. Prof. Stathes Hadjiefthymiades, National and Kapodistrian 
University of Athens, Greece

To be published by IGI Global.

Scope:
Pervasive Computing aims to provide a framework where computers or other 
machines are integrated in the environment.
Thus, people are able to automatically interact with the embedded 
devices in order to consume information and utilize
intelligent applications. Due to the complex nature of such systems 
applications intelligence could be based on computational
intelligence techniques. In such scenarios, Pervasive computing 
applications are enhanced by intelligent techniques taken
from various research domains such as Fuzzy Set Theory, Swarm 
Intelligence, Ontological and Approximate Reasoning, and Machine
Learning. The combination of the discussed technologies can provide more 
intelligent and efficient application to the end users.
Developers will have the appropriate tools for the creation of 
intelligent and adaptive pervasive applications utilizing the
most modern techniques. The main focus of this book will be on certain 
theories and the practical applications that use
computational intelligence techniques in Pervasive Computing 
applications. This book will record recent developments in this
field. Of special importance will be the usage of Machine Learning, 
Swarm Intelligence and Fuzzy Logic providing means for
knowledge representation, reasoning, inference and consensus decision 
making.


Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Ambient Intelligence
* Computational Intelligence in:
   - Human centred Computing
   - Pervasive Computing Applications
* Context Aware Computing
* Wearable Computers and Applications
* Sensing and Interaction with the physical world
* Optimization in Pervasive Computing
* Machine Learning in Pervasive Computing
* Security, Trust and Privacy in Pervasive Computing

Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before April 
10, 2012,
a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns 
of their
proposed contributions. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified 
by April
15, 2012 on the status of their proposals and provided with further 
guidelines.
Full chapters are expected to be submitted by May 31, 2012. All 
submitted chapters
will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also 
be requested
to serve as reviewers for this project.
