2010 Authors
notified: December 21, 2010 Camera
ready papers due: January 28, 2011. Instructions for submitting
camera-ready papers are available on the main
conference site. The deadline is listed as 00:00:00 EST on

Workshop purpose
The
purpose of
this workshop is to address the need for interdisciplinary design of
pervasive
computing systems.In
pervasive computing, computing and sensing elements are seamlessly
integrated
with everyday objects. Ideally,
the
products
are
so
seamlessly
integrated
into
the
environment
that
they
disappear, both
physically
and cognitively; there are no “interfaces” for the devices in the room
but
instead they proactively adapt to the needs and intentions of the users.
But
achieving
this
ideal
of
seamless
integration
requires
more
than engineering a
technology
problem.The devices must also be
culturally acceptable, economically viable, and aesthetically pleasing.
Consequently, successful pervasive computing products require a balance
of
computing, design, and business expertise throughout their development
phases.Without this collection of
expertise, the product will likely fall short in a critical technical,
functional, or market requirement.
This workshop will bring together a body of
practitioners, researchers and educators who are making inroads into
interdisciplinary pervasive computing design.

Authors are requested to submit original papers of no more than 6 pages
in standard IEEE two-columnn proceedings style. (Templates can be found
here.)
Submissions
must
not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Papers must be submitted in PDF format using the workshop's EDAS site. Accepted
papers will be published as part of the PerCom workshop proceedings by
the IEEE Computer Society Press. For accepted papers, at least
one author is expected to register for and attend the workshop to
present the paper in order for the paper to appear in the IEEE Digital
Library.
