IEEE PerCom 2005 will be the third annual conference on the emerging area of pervasive computing and communications aimed at providing an exciting platform and paradigm for all the time, everywhere services.

The PerCom2005 Organizing Committee invites proposals for one-day workshops affiliated with the conference. The workshops will be held  prior to, or after, the main conference.

The purpose of these workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than at the conference itself.

Workshops Proposals are solicited in all areas and topics pertaining to pervasive computing and communications research and applications.
