Call for Pervasive 2007 Videos

With the category of Research Videos, Pervasive 2007 seeks research contributions, future visions, project descriptions, and concepts of pervasive computing technologies, systems and applications. The conference particularly values practical experience with design, deployment and use of pervasive systems and applications, and investigation of exciting and inspiring ideas and technologies.

• 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 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

Each research video will be accompanied by a short paper describing the contribution and as an anchor point for future reference. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format, conform to the OCG format and up to 4 pages.

To be accepted, a video must be of an appropriate length for the content. It must contain no material subject to copyright (i.e., that the authors cannot grant Pervasive 2007 the right to redistribute freely), and must be easily comprehensible to English speakers. Finally, an accepted video must be standalone, i.e., the video itself (with audio soundtrack) must describe the work sufficiently, without requiring the viewer to read the abstract. Videos will be judged primarily on their communication of interesting research content, with fancy effects being a welcome but secondary consideration.

For accepted contributions, the short video paper will be published in the adjunct proceedings of Pervasive 2007 which will be available in printed form as well as electronically on the conference web-site. Accepted videos need to be submited as camera ready video in mpeg (MPEG1/2) or AVI (MPEG-4) as NTSC. (videos submitted for consideration to the video track can be in NTSC or PAL).

The video will be shown in a special video session at Pervasive 2007. This year, we plan to have video proceedings on CD-ROM. If authors have any queries regarding potential submissions, including copyright, please contact the co-chairs.
