[DMANET] IEEE PerCom 2022: Call For Papers

==========================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
******************************************************************
The 20th International Conference on Pervasive Computing and
Communications (PerCom 2022), March 21-25, 2022
Pisa, Italy

******************************************************************

Call for Papers

PerCom is the premier annual scholarly venue in pervasive computing and
communications. Pervasive computing has found its way into many commercial
systems due to tremendous advances in a broad spectrum of technologies and
topics such as wireless networking, mobile and distributed computing,
sensor systems, ambient intelligence, and smart devices.

SCOPE

PerCom 2022 solicits research contributions in all areas pertinent to
pervasive computing and communications, especially those that cross
traditional research boundaries. In particular, we target:

Advances in pervasive systems and infrastructures: middleware systems and
services; data engineering for pervasive computing; cloud, fog and edge
computing; integrations of smartphones in pervasive experiences;
applications of device-to-device coordination.

Theories, models, and algorithms: context modeling and reasoning; adaptive
computing; activity and emotion recognition; programming paradigms; applied
machine learning; deep machine learning; federated learning; causal
learning; cognitive computing; complex networks; spatio-temporal modeling
techniques.

Domain-specific challenges and novel applications: urban/mobile
crowdsensing & intelligence; PerCom for healthcare and well-being; smart
homes and virtual assistants; innovative PerCom applications (e.g., sports
analytics, crime prevention, pervasive nowcasting).

Intersections of PerCom with: opportunistic networks; IoT and sensor
systems; RFID systems; pervasive data science, and cyber physical systems.

New techniques for user-level concerns: participatory and social sensing;
trust, security, and privacy; user interface, interaction, and persuasion;
online and offline social networking and pervasive computing.

Technological innovations: architectures, protocols, and technologies for
pervasive communications; energy-harvesting, self-powered, or battery-less
systems; mobile and wearable systems; smart devices and environments;
positioning and tracking technologies; wireless crowd-recharging;
device-free human sensing.

Contributions can be analytical, empirical, technological, methodological,
or a combination. Papers reporting strong systems engineering contributions
backed by solid and appropriate evaluations are strongly encouraged. The
impact of the contributions should be demonstrated in the context of
pervasive computing and communications applications.

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper registration in EDAS: September 27, 2021
Submission via EDAS: October 4, 2021
Notification: December 22, 2021
Camera Ready: February 5, 2022

Other important dates are here http://www.percom.org/important-dates

SUBMISSION DETAILS

Paper submission must be done for the main conference and all associated
events via EDAS
(https://www.edas.info/). If you do not have an EDAS account, please,
register first (it's free) via the following link
https://edas.info/newPerson.php?noauth=1. The direct submission link for
PerCom 2022 is here: https://edas.info/N28655.

PerCom 2022 will follow a double-blind review process. As a result, authors
must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions.

Submitted papers must be unpublished and not considered elsewhere for
publication. Also, they must show a significant relevance to pervasive
computing and communications. Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous
review process handled by the Technical Program Committee. Only electronic
submissions in PDF format will be considered.

The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as formatting
instructions, can be found here
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers must be
at most 9 pages of technical content (10pt font, 2-column format),
including text, figures, and tables and up to one additional page for
references only.

Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. All accepted papers will
be invited to submit an associated artifact abstract providing the code,
data, results, etc. associated with the contribution.

BEST PAPER AWARD AND EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPs

The best paper will receive the prestigious Mark Weiser Best Paper Award.

Papers of particular merit will be considered for a special issue of the
Elsevier journal of Pervasive and Mobile Computing (PMC).
