======================================================================== IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Services 2005 (ICPS'05) http://icps2005.cs.ucr.edu 11-14 July 2005 Santorini, Greece ======================================================================== SCOPE Pervasive services and computing are emerging as the next computing paradigm in which infrastructure and services 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, mobile & agent computing and autonomic computing & services. The 2005 ACS/IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Services (ICPS 2005), to be held in the beautiful island of Santorini, Greece provides a forum for researchers, engineers, application & service developers and users to present their latest advances in the field of pervasive computing and services. 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* Performance measurement and Benchmarking PAPER SUBMISSIONS ICPS'05 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Please submit extended abstracts (10 pages maximum in IEEE double-column format). Paper submission should be electronic in PS or PDF format. Questions concerning hardcopy submissions or any other issues may be directed to the Program Chair at icps2005@cs.ucr.edu. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Selected papers of best quality will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications (JPCC) in late 2005. TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS Tutorial and workshop proposals are solicited. Further information can be obtained by contacting the Tutorials Chair (nikole@cti.gr), the Workshops Chairs (maria@cs.unc.edu, ksarac@utdallas.edu) or the Program Committee Chair (vana@cs.ucr.edu). PROCEEDINGS The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and distributed at the conference. -------------------------------------------------------------- COMMITTEES -------------------------------------------------------------- General Co-Chairs ----------------- Yiannis Cotronis, Univ. of Athens, Greece (cotronis@di.uoa.gr) Salim Hariri, Univ. of Arizona, USA (hariri@ece.arizona.edu) Program Chair ------------- Vana Kalogeraki, Univ. of CA, Riverside, USA (vana@cs.ucr.edu) Steering Committee ------------------- Hassan Diab, American Univ. of Beirut, Lebanon Salim Hariri, Univ. of Arizona, USA Walid Najjar, Univ. of California, Riverside, USA Manish Parashar, Rutgers Univ., USA Fabrice Saffre, BT Pervasive ICT Research Centre, UK Mazin Yousif, Intel Corporation, USA Program Committee ------------------ Prathima Agrawal, Auburn University, USA Roberto Baldoni, Universita di Roma "La Sapienza", Italy Ioana Banicescu, Mississippi State University, USA Robin Bloomfield, City University, England Henri Casanova, UC San Diego, USA Panos Chrysanthis, Univ. of Pittsburgh, USA Costas Courcoubetis, Athens Univ. of Economics and Business, Greece Alex Delis, Univ. of Athens, Greece Lisa DiPippo, Univ. of Rhode Island, USA Petre Dini, Cisco Corporation, USA & Concordia Univ., Canada Christos Douligeris, Univ. of Piraeus, USA Jeremy Elson, Microsoft Research, USA Erol Gelenbe, Imperial College, England Chris Gill, Washington Univ. in St. Louis, USA Xiaohui Gu, IBM Research, USA Jose Halloy, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium Helen Karatza, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Manolis Koubarakis, Technical Univ. of Crete, Greece Srikanth Krishnamurthy, UC Riverside, USA Tiziana Margaria, Universitat Gottingen, Germany Drakoulis Martakos, Univ. of Athens, Greece Julie McCann, Imperial College, England Aad van Moorsel, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England Dimitrios Nikolopoulos, College of William and Mary, USA Evi Pitoura, Univ. of Ioannina, Greece, Greece Cyrus Shahabi, USC, USA Peter Triantafillou, Univ. of Patras, Greece Aphrodite Tsalgatidou, Univ. of Athens, Greece John Vicente, Intel Corporation, USA Publicity Chair --------------- Xiaohui Gu, IBM Research, USA (N.
