Call for Posters

The Pervasive 2012 Posters track offers a concise format to contribute novel ideas and late-breaking research findings in pervasive computing technologies, systems, and applications, and for sharing ideas and challenges in a discussion-oriented forum during the conference. In addition, posters may summarize interesting on-going research projects in a compact format.

Authors of accepted posters will be given the opportunity to promote their contribution during coffee breaks throughout the conferencee.

We welcome contributions (max. 4 pages, LNCS format) by the poster submission deadline, including but not limited to the following topics:

• Challenge current thinking regarding pervasive technologies, methods, and evaluation.
• New technologies, systems, and methods for pervasive computing.
• New applications of pervasive computing technologies.
• New approaches to activity and context recognition in pervasive systems.
• New interfaces and modes of human interactions with pervasive computing devices, applications, and environments.
• Research project summaries opening new interesting directions for pervasive computing research.
• Privacy, security, trust & social issues and implications of pervasive computing.

Submission and review process

All poster submissions will be handled using an electronic submission system. Please submit your poster submissions using the PCS submission system.

Poster submissions should be max. 4 pages in LNCS format, and include:

1. an abstract (1000 characters) that will be used to advertise the work on the website,
2. a motivation/background section, providing relevant details of the work,
3. and a results/further work section with at least two illustrations (diagrams, pictures, schematics, etc.) that provide an overview on essential findings and/or original concepts as they shall appear on the poster.

Authors of poster abstracts are requested to follow the following guidelines:

• Specific existing results should be detailed in the results section. In particular cases where such results are not yet available, a convincing outline of expected results and a program for further work should be provided.
• Do not anonymise abstracts.
• Do not put headers, footers, or page numbers on your abstract.
• Do not exceed 4 pages in length.
• Complete contributions should be submitted in electronic form (PDF format) via the submission website.

Submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the Pervasive 2012 Poster committee after their conformance to the above mentioned guidelines was confirmed. Accepted contributions will be published in the Pervasive 2012 Adjunct Proceedings on a USB stick and the abstract made available on the website.
