        Fifth Annual Ph.D. Forum on Pervasive Computing and Communications

IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications
                    PerCom 2012 (http//www.percom.org/)

                     Lugano, Switzerland, March 19 - 23, 2012

         *** Extended Abstract Submission Deadline:  December 15, 2011 ***
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PerCom 2011 will host the Fifth Annual Ph.D. Forum on Pervasive Computing and 
Communications. The Ph.D. Forum will provide an opportunity for Ph.D. students 
to present their dissertation research, including work in progress, to the 
pervasive computing and communication community. In addition, the Forum will 
provide participants individualized access to established pervasive computing 
and communications researchers. The Forum will be organized as a combined 
one-day workshop prior to the PerCom conference and a poster session during the 
main conference to encourage interaction between Ph.D. students and researchers 
from academia, industry, and government.

Current Ph.D. students and researchers who have completed their Ph.D. 
dissertations since May 2011 are encouraged to submit extended abstracts. 
Submissions that are substantially similar to presentations at the 2011 PerCom 
Ph.D. Forum are not allowed. The Ph.D. student should be the sole author, 
although contributions of the advisor and others should be acknowledged. 
Submissions will be reviewed by the Ph.D. Forum Committee to ensure quality and 
relevance. Authors of accepted submissions are expected to travel to PerCom 
2012 to participate in the Ph.D. Forum Workshop (to be held on March 19) and to 
present a poster at the PerCom?12 conference. Standard PerCom 2012 registration 
fees apply. Participants who are current full-time students are eligible for 
the student registration fee.

The Ph.D. Forum Committee will evaluate all of the submitted extended 
abstracts. Accepted abstracts will appear in the conference proceedings and 
will be indexed by DBLP and the IEEE digital library. A second evaluation phase 
will occur at the conference based on the poster and the participants? 
discussions during the poster session. Special recognition will be given to the 
most innovative and/or most promising research project(s) presented at the 
Ph.D. Forum. As in previous years, we expect to receive sponsorship for this 
event from Google.


ABSTRACT SUBMISSION:

Ph.D. students are invited to submit two-page extended abstracts that describe
