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

IEEE PerCom 2004 will be the second annual conference on the  emerging area   of
pervasive  computing  and communications aimed at providing an exciting platform
and paradigm for all the time, everywhere services. This emergence is a  natural
outcome  of  the  tremendous  advances  in  wireless networks, mobile computing,
sensor networks, distributed computing, and agent technologies. PerCom 2004 will
provide  a  high profile, leading edge forum for researchers and engineers alike
to present their latest  research  in  the  field  of  pervasive computing   and
communications.  As  in  PerCom  2003,  the Mark Weiser Best Paper Award will be
given to the best paper judged by the award subcommittee.  Also,  as in   PerCom
2003, a special issue of a leading journal will be published out of the selected
papers.

Proposals to organize Workshops are  also invited. PerCom 2004 will also feature
industry exhibits and demonstrations.

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

Submitted papers must be  unpublished  and  not  currently  under  consideration
elsewhere  for  publication.  Only  electronic  submissions  (PS or PDF) will be
considered. Page limit is 12 pages (single column, 11  pt  fonts  and 1.5   line
spaced,  excluding  references,  figures and tables). Detailed procedure will be
available at http://www.percom.org. All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous
review process managed by the technical program committee. IEEE Computer Society
Press will publish the conference proceedings. Papers of particular merit   will
be considered for a special issue of a journal.

For organizing a workshop at PerCom'2004, please contact the Workshop Chairs.  A
separate  proceedings of workshop papers will be published by the  IEEE Computer
Society Press.
