    Middleware Support for Pervasive Computing (PerWare 2005)
   at the 3rd Conference on Pervasive Computing (PerCom 2005)

                            Kauai, Hawaii
                            March 8, 2005

---------------------------------------------------------------------


This workshop aims at bringing together researchers in the field of 
middleware for pervasive computing to discuss new trends for 
pervasive computing middleware. 


Topics:
-------

The workshop solicits papers addressing the following topics:

* Middleware design patterns for pervasive computing.
* Middleware platforms for mobile devices.
* Middleware support for user-centric computing.
* Middleware support for novel pervasive computing application models.
* Adaptable, recoverable, secure and fault tolerant middleware for 
  pervasive computing.
* Metrics for evaluating pervasive computing middleware 
  infrastructures.


Submission Guidelines:
----------------------

Paper submissions must cover one of the topics above, and should not 
exceed five pages. Furthermore, we will prioritize experience papers 
describing lessons learnt from built systems, including information 
about approaches that did and did not work, unexpected results, 
common abstractions, and metrics for evaluating pervasive computing 
middleware infrastructures. 

Submissions of papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format. 
Research papers must be original prior unpublished work and not 
under review elsewhere. All submissions will be reviewed blindly 
and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to 
the workshop. Blinded submissions in PDF format must be sent to 
perware@cs.uiuc.edu no later than October 2, 2004 (extended). You
will receive a confirmation within 24 hours. Accepted papers must 
be presented at the workshop, and will appear in a combined 
PerCom '05 workshop proceedings.
