SCOPE
Wireless
pervasive computing is a rapidly growing area that has attracted
significant
attention due to its potential impact on the quality of
lifestyles of
individuals. To enable wireless pervasive computing, it is
necessary to
integrate technologies from the fields of communications,
signal processing,
distributed computing, and numerous other fields. The aim
of this symposium
is to provide a platform for researchers in the area of
wireless pervasive
computing and related areas to showcase their results,
launch new ideas, as
well as to interact with colleagues from these areas.
The scope of the
symposium covers all enabling technologies of wireless
pervasive computing.
This includes a huge variety of topics ranging from
wireless communications
and networking to services and applications of
pervasive computing. A series
of panel and tutorials will also seek to
inform and invoke interaction among
researchers which are interested in
this
area.

PAPER
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Acceptance will be based on an extended abstract of
about 1500 words (two
pages in the standard IEEE conference format). The
extended abstract should
include diagrams, initial results, and details
required for the reviewers to
assess the contribution of your work. A short
summary of approximately 150
words is also required at the time of submission
of the extended abstract.
Extended abstracts must be submitted electronically
by August 20, 2006 , via
EDAS (http://edas.info). Proceedings of the conference
will be available on
IEEE Xplore after the
event.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PANEL
SESSIONS & TUTORIALS
Proposals for Tutorial and Panel Sessions are
also being solicited.
Tutorials (half-day or full-day sessions) are intended
to provide in-depth
learning on a specific topic of interest to the
participants.
Panel sessions are 60 minutes long. They present leaders in a
particular
area discussing a topic of interest within the scope of the
symposium.
Proposals for Tutorials and Panel sessions should consist of 1000
words
summary, a 150 word abstract, and a cover page listing the details of
the
author(s). For further details, please contact either the Tutorial
Chair,
Prof. Xiaoyan Hong (hxy@cs.ua.edu), or Panel Chair, Prof. Wilson
Rivera
(wrivera@ece.uprm.edu).
