Pervasive computing envisages a world of communicating miniature devices, sensors and actuators to provide ambient and personalised services. Building on the current technology, it is ready for a wide range of applications that support and gradually change our everyday life. The goal of ICPCA2009 is to further explore both theoretical and practical issues in pervasive computing. It also aims to foster the exchange of ideas and collaboration for both researchers and practitioners.

Following on the success of previous conferences in the series held in Urmqi, China (2006), Birmingham, UK (2007), Alexandria, Egypt (2008) and Tamkang, Taiwan (2009), the 5th International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Applications (ICPCA2010) will be held between 01-03 December 2010, in Maribor, Slovenia. ICPCA2010 features one generic technical track and six special interest tracks.
