Abstract

IEEE PerCom, now in its eighteenth year, will be held in Austin, Texas in March 2020. Austin is the capital of Texas and the eleventh largest city in the US. It is known as the “live music capital of the world”, is famous for its barbecue, and is a progressive tech-centric town. PerCom is the premier annual scholarly venue in the areas of pervasive computing and communications. Pervasive computing and communications have evolved into highly active areas of research; they have found their way into many current commercial systems due to the tremendous advances in a broad spectrum of technologies and topics including wireless networking, mobile and distributed computing, sensor systems, ambient intelligence, and smart devices. PerCom 2020 solicits research contributions in all areas pertinent to pervasive computing and communications. Within computer science, these areas often cross the boundaries between the traditional areas of research, aiming to bring substantial advance to pervasive systems.
