The First International Workshop on Pervasive Computing Systems and Infrastructures (PCSI)
Workshop Highlights * Held in conjunction with TridentCom 2009, April, Washington DC, USA * Selected outstanding papers in the workshop will be published in a special issue in International Journal of Sensor Networks!!! * papers accepted will be included in IEEE Xplore Digital Library and indexed by EI
Description: Pervasive Computing (or Ubiquitous Computing) is an information model that enables data to be accessed and processed anytime and anywhere. Basically, various practical issues such as physical limitation and cost-benefit tradeoffs make pervasive computing model a natural choice for implementation of complicated applications. These applications usually involve computing facilities and network devices with dramatically different processing power, energy constraints, and networking technologies, thereby demanding seamless integration of various domains in an efficient manner. A typical example is wireless Internet access from mobile users. Recent demand for pervasive computing includes body sensor networks that enable remote health monitoring of patients.
While many pervasive computing models and protocols have been proposed to enable the integration of various computing and networking domains, a much less attention is given on the design and implementation of such systems and infrastructures in real applications. Without real implementation, it is difficult to evaluate the performance of existing models and protocols and discover further issues for additional improvement.
This workshop features all recent advances in pervasive computing systems and tools, with an focus on building and performance evaluation of infrastructures and testbeds. We would like solicit original papers from both academia and industry on the following (but not limited to) topics: * Pervasive Computing Infrastructures and Testbeds * Pervasive Wireless Networking Infrastructures * Pervasive Multimedia System Infrastructures * Pervasive Wireless Mesh Network Infrastructures * Pervasive Sensor Network (especially RFID and Body Sensor Networks) Infrastructures * Pervasive Healthcare and Telemedicine Infrastructures

Publication All accepted and presented papers will be included in the PCSI 2009 Proceedings, published as CDROMs, made available in IEEExplore Digital Library, and then indexed by Engineering Information (EI).
Selected outstanding papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNET).
Submission Authors are invited to submit Full Papers of up to 6 pages, including references, figures and tables. For paper format guidelines, please click [10]here. PCSI 2009 will use COCUS for paper submission and management. To submit your paper: * Go to the [11]COCUS login page. * If you have a COCUS account, you can log in by clicking the "Login" link at the upper right corner. Otherwise, click the "Register" link in the page to create your COCUS account. * After logging in, click the "Submit paper" tab on the top. * Find the "PCSI 2009" row, and click the "Submit a paper" link in that row. * In the next page, you will see the conference information. Click the "Submit a paper" link. * Choose one of the following three categories for your paper: Full Paper, Short Paper, and Invited Paper. * Enter the title, abstract and topic information for your paper, and click "Next." Please choose one Primary Topic and one or two Secondary Topics for your paper. These topics will help us to assign your paper to the TPC member with the right expertise and interest. * On the next page you will see the information you have just entered. Verify it, and if correct, click "Submit." If the information is not correct, click on the Back button of your browser and go back to the previous screen. * You can then upload your paper and modify the details of your submission if needed.
