==========================================================
				CALL FOR Workshop Proposals
******************************************************************
The 19th International Conference on Pervasive Computing and 
Communications (PerCom 2021), March 22-26, 2021 
in Kassel, Germany.
http://www.percom.org
******************************************************************

IEEE PerCom is the premier conference for presenting scholarly research in pervasive computing and communications. Advances in this field are leading to innovative platforms, protocols, systems, and applications for always-on, always-connected services. In 2021, PerCom will visit Kassel, situated at the geographic center of Germany and a dynamic industrial and cultural city. It is known for its UNESCO World Heritage site 'Bergpark Wilhemshohe' and famous for a leading exhibition of contemporary art 'documenta'.

The PerCom 2021 Organizing Committee invites proposals for one-day or half-day workshops, to be held prior to or immediately after the main conference. The purpose of the workshops is to stimulate discussions on state-of-the-art, emerging, visionary, and also controversial topics. Workshops should be organized to promote lively interaction and plans to promote interaction and discussion must be clearly addressed in the written workshop proposals. The organizers of accepted workshops are required to publicize the workshop through disseminating the call for papers, solicit submissions, conduct the reviewing process, and decide upon the final workshop program. At least one organizer must be physically present at the workshop.

Workshop proposals are solicited in all areas and topics pertaining to research and applications in pervasive computing and communications. Workshops addressing new emerging research directions in pervasive computing and communication are especially welcome. Further, workshops with novel formats, e.g., focused on a specific topic in a tutorial-style fashion, are strongly encouraged. Workshop papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital library (Xplore). The page limit for accepted regular workshop papers is 6 pages, including all figures, tables, and references.
