************************************************************************ ************************* CALL FOR PAPERS **************************** ****************************** ARCS ******************************** **** International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems ***** ************* Trends in Network and Pervasive Computing ************** ************************************************************************ Karlsruhe, Germany April 8-11, 2002 http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~arcs02 Submission Deadline: October 1, 2001 Future processors become smaller, provide higher performance and consume less power than today's devices. Such processors will spark off new applications in particular in the area of everyday consumer devices. Personal digital assistants, mobile consumer devices, and various smart personal appliances will soon be widely used. Mobile telecommunication systems increase bandwidth and will yield highly connected, ubiquitous computing appliances. Ubiquitous computing induces a new way of thinking in system design: computers vanish into the background hidden behind the habitual human environment. ARCS'2002 will emphasize the design and analysis of networking and pervasive systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. The conference focuses on system aspects of network and pervasive computing in software and hardware. In particular, the system integration of hardware and networking aspects of up-to-now unconnected devices is a challenging research topic. The ubiquitous computing community gathers researchers from various classical areas. Besides its main focus, the conference is open for more general themes in operating systems, networking, and computer architecture. Papers pertaining to all aspects of network and pervasive computing are sought, including but not limited to the following: - scenarios for ubiquitous computing - mobile and wearable devices - interfaces and human interaction models - location awareness and contextual embedding - safety, security, reliability aspects - enabling technologies and infrastructures - network computing (cluster and GRID computing) - network server architectures - network based applications - home and wireless networking - mobile computing - intelligently connected devices - low power systems design - embedded systems (consumer electronics, automotive) - real-time systems - operating systems - computer and system architecture This International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems continues and replaces the biennial 16th German Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems. It will serve as a forum to present current work by researchers from around the world. In addition to technical sessions of contributed paper presentations, the conference will offer invited presentations, workshops, and tutorials. The conference proceedings will be published in the 'Lecture Notes in Computer Science' series by Springer-Verlag. The conference is organized by GI-Fachausschuss 3.1 / ITG-Fachausschuss 6.1: Computer and System Architecture and GI-Fachausschuss 3.3, Fachgruppe 3.3.1: Communication and Distributed Systems, supported by CEPIS and EUREL, and held in cooperation with ACM and IEEE (approval requested).
