This premium annual conference provides a forum in which to present research results in all areas related to the design, development, application and evaluation of pervasive computing. Pervasive 2008 builds on the success of previous conferences in this series held in Zurich (August 2002), in Linz/Vienna (April 2004), in Munich (May 2005), in Dublin (May 2006), and in Toronto (May 2007). Pervasive 2008 will include a highly selective single-track program for technical papers, accompanied by posters, videos, demonstrations, workshops, a doctoral colloquium, and invited keynote speakers. We welcome submissions that report on innovations in mobile and pervasive computing, including but not limited to the following topics: - New technologies and devices for pervasive computing - New applications of pervasive computing technologies - New interfaces and modes of interactions between people and pervasive computing devices, applications or environments - New models, tools, infrastructures, architectures and techniques for designing, implementing & deploying pervasive computing applications - Evaluations and evaluation methods, for assessing the impact of pervasive computing devices, applications or environments - Privacy, security, trust & social issues and implications of pervasive computing Papers accepted for PERVASIVE 2008 will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science and should be formatted according to the Springer-Verlag LNCS style. We solicit papers of up to 15 pages. All paper submissions will be treated as full papers but it is important that their length is appropriate for their content. Accepted papers will be allowed to submit revised versions up to 18 pages in their camera ready copy. The conference chairs as well as deadlines for the various types of submissions are listed below. We look forward to seeing you at Pervasive 2008.
