CALL FOR PAPERS

The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already
deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans.
Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact,
promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources.
Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing
elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment
according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices
operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure,
where interaction and communication occur opportunistically.

The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the
achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive
applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role
in achieving the end goals.

Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of
human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing
prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems
are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues
is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human 
mobility
  - mobile phone sensing applications and systems
  - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between
  - opportunistic computing
  - pervasive systems with humans in the loop
  - wearable sensing systems
  - mobility models
  - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility
  - impact of human mobility on wireless communication
  - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility
  - mobility aware protocols
  - opportunistic networking
  - pervasive social networking


PUBLICATION AND INDEXING

Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom
Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore.

According to Googles metrics, such proceedings are characterised by
high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 19 and
33. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues
with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing.

In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been
indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that
is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a source and a
destination for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it
contributes to the authors h-index and citation count, as computed
by Scopus).


PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers should contain original material and should not be previously
published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts
are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least
one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop
to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral
presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present
the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper
from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will
be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website).
