The ACM International Conference on Pervasive Services (ICPS 2010)

http://www.dai-labor.de/icps

July 13-16, 2010
Technische Universit?t Berlin, Berlin, Germany


Pervasive Computing and Service Oriented Computing have emerged as important, significant and extremely active areas of research and development in recent years. The Service Oriented Computing paradigm allows the development and deployment of highly distributed and heterogeneous applications. It facilitates the rapid and dynamic creation of new software functionality by composition and ?mash-ups? of existing, distributed software services/components. Web Services in particular are now the de facto technology that underpins a range of complex and enterprise scale systems and applications.

Pervasive Computing is the vision of anytime, anywhere computing where technologies such as smart mobile phones, sensors/embedded devices, and continuous connectivity integrate seamlessly to provide a rich and personalised intelligence that manifests in smart environments ? both physical and computational.

The International Conference on Pervasive Services provides a forum for bringing together pervasive computing with services. The integration of these technologies is becoming increasingly relevant as evidenced by the phenomenal surge in the provision of mobile services.

ICPS is a key forum for researchers and practitioners working in the area of mobile and pervasive services. ICPS will be conducted as a single track conference with high-quality papers in mobile and pervasive services. The selection process will consist of rigorous peer-review of submissions by the program committee.

Topics of interest include (but not limited)

* Programming paradigms and architectures for pervasive services
* Middleware support for pervasive/mobile services
* Pervasive services administration and management
* Context-Aware Services
* Context Services Provisioning Technologies
* User interfaces and interaction models for mobile/pervasive services
* Service dissemination and discovery protocols,
* Environments and algorithms for pervasive service development
* Agents and Mobile/Pervasive Services
* Semantic Web and Pervasive Services
* Mobile Semantic Reasoning
* Context-Aware Mobile and Pervasive Services
* Composition of Mobile/Pervasive Services
* Trust Issues of Pervasive Service
* QoS Metrics for Pervasive Services
* Security Services for Applications in Pervasive Environments
* Formal Modelling and Engineering of Pervasive Services
* Innovative Applications /Case Studies of Pervasive Services
* Modelling, benchmarking, and performance of Mobile/Pervasive Services
* Web 2.0-based Services and Technologies
* Future Generation Pervasive Services
* Wearable and Mobile Computing
* Digital devices, Wi-Fi and Sensor Networks Interacting with Services
* Positioning and Tracking Technologies

Paper Submission
****************

ICPS 2010 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work.

Please submit papers (8 pages maximum in the IEEE double-column format). The templates for this format are available from: http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/index.html.

Paper submissions should be in PDF format only. Please follow the link to access the paper submission site: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ICPS2010/

The acceptance of your paper is made with the understanding that at least one author will register for each accepted paper and attend the conference to present the paper; otherwise we reserve the right to exclude the paper from publication in the proceedings.

A subset of the selected papers may also be invited for demonstration of the system in the ICPS Demonstration Session.
