WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
Wireless connectivity, mobility support, location awareness, and integration of wireless networks to the Internet are key research challenges in pervasive computing and communications. With the advent of inexpensive wireless solutions such as WiFi, Bluetooth, and ZigBee, a number of challenges arise when these protocols are applied to wireless PAN, home networking, and wireless LANs. This workshop seeks papers describing significant research contributions to the theory, practice, and evaluation of wireless networks for pervasive computing. Exploitation of emerging wireless technologies such as transmit power and rate control, spectral agility, adaptive carrier sensing, cooperative communication as well as application of existing technologies to new applications such as wireless mesh networks and sensor networks are especially welcomed. Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. Workshop topics include (but not limited to):
SUBMISSION
Authors are requested to submit original papers of no more than 5 pages (standard IEEE proceedings two-column format), including figures, tables, and references in PDF format that include contact information of all the authors to Prof. Ben Lee (benl@eecs.orst.edu). If you have any questions regarding the submission process, please send e-mail to benl@eecs.orst.edu. Note that each accepted paper has to have one author registered as a full (non-student) technical session attendee. The papers from this workshop will be published in the proceedings of the Fifth IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications by IEEE Press.
