======================= ICPS'07 Call for Paper ============================
ICPS¡¯07: IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Services

           July 15-20 2007, Istanbul, Turkey

       http://www.icpsconference.org/2007/index.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE
Pervasive services are emerging as the next paradigm for distributed and
mobile computing, in which services built out of pervasive infrastructure
and information, and are seamlessly available anywhere, anytime, and in any
format. This exciting new paradigm is the result of recent research and
technological advances in wireless & sensor networks, distributed systems,
Grid computing, mobile & agent computing and autonomic computing & services.

The 2007 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Services (ICPS'2007), to
be held in The Marmara Hotel, Istanbul, Turkey, provides a forum for
researchers, engineers, application & service developers and users to
present their latest advances in the field of pervasive services. Use cases
and usage models for these pervasive services are of particular interest to
the conference.

TOPICS

Original contributions are solicited in all pervasive computing & services
research and applications. Contributions for industry and application
sessions are also solicited. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Pervasive and autonomous computing and architectures
• Mobile Computing
• Wearable Computing
• Smart Devices and Networks
• Wireless & Sensor Networks
• Middleware support for pervasive and mobile computing
• Pervasive computing and Management
• Speech processing / advanced computer vision
• User interfaces and interaction model
• Positioning and Tracking Technologies
• Programmable and active networks
• Service dissemination and discovery protocols
• Environments & algorithms for pervasive application development
• Runtime support for intelligent, adaptive agents
• Security services for applications in pervasive environments
• Programming paradigms for pervasive computing applications
• Pervasive computing applications requirements
• Performance measurement and Benchmarking

PAPER SUBMISSION
ICPS¡¯2007 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Please
follow the guidelines on conference web site to submit extended abstracts
(10 pages maximum in IEEE double-column and PS or PDF format). Questions
concerning hardcopy submissions or any other issues may be directed to the
