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).
