CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
------------------------------------------------
The Seventeenth Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive
Computing and Communications (PerCom 2019)
Kyoto, Japan, March 11-15, 2019

IEEE PerCom, now in its seventeenth year, is established as the
premier annual scholarly venue in the areas of pervasive computing and
communications. Pervasive computing and communications have evolved
into highly active areas of research; they have found their way into
many current commercial systems due to the tremendous advances in a
broad spectrum of technologies and topics including wireless
networking, mobile and distributed computing, sensor systems, ambient
intelligence, and smart devices.

The PerCom 2019 Workshop Committee invites proposals for one-day or
half-day workshops affiliated with the conference. The purpose of the
workshops is to provide a venue for presenting novel ideas in a less
formal and typically more focused area than the main conference. Note
that PerCom workshops are expected to stimulate discussions on
state-of-the-art, emerging, visionary, and perhaps controversial
topics.
Workshops should be organized to promote such lively interaction.
Plans to promote interaction and discussion should be clearly
addressed in the workshop proposals. The organizers of accepted
workshops are required to announce the workshop and call for papers,
solicit submissions, conduct the reviewing process, and decide upon
the final workshop program. At least one organizer must be physically
present at the workshop.
Workshops proposals are solicited in all areas and topics pertaining
to research and applications in pervasive computing and communications.
Workshops addressing new emerging research directions in pervasive
computing and communication are especially welcome and encouraged.

Workshop papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital
libraries (Xplore). The page limits for accepted regular workshop
papers are 6 pages, including all figures, tables, and references.
