WORKSHOP AIM
------------

Research in middleware systems has evolved from simple client server models to distributed systems, peer-to-peer systems, mobile devices, smart devices, and sensors. 
Pervasive computing models are constrained by their limited battery life, restricted memory, low processing power, less storage space, frequent disconnections, and 
confined network bandwidth. Hence, a middleware designed for such devices will have to consider the above issues.

The main objective of the intelligent pervasive middleware workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in middleware systems with topics ranging 
from different areas in pervasive computing such as agent based computing, service oriented computing, intelligent systems, P2P computing, sensor networks and database 
issues under one roof with an aim of encouraging exchange of ideas and experiences among these diverse areas. We solicit papers dealing with design, development and 
deployment of middleware and its systems. We are also interested in specific components of middleware systems, the way they interact with other modules, components design 
and development, models of the components, middleware system issues and also novel applications using middleware systems.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------

The topics include, but are not limited to:

+ Middleware for pervasive collaborative applications
+ Middleware for pervasive agent based systems
+ Middleware for pervasive service oriented systems
+ Middleware for mobile and ubiquitous computing
+ Middleware for intelligent pervasive computing
+ Middleware for embedded systems and sensor networks
+ Middleware solutions for Security, Privacy and Trust
+ Middleware for distributed systems including mobile databases, and
   mobile grid based systems
+ Middleware issues for real time systems
+ Software engineering techniques for pervasive middleware
+ Novel applications using pervasive middleware
+ Evaluation metrics and bench mark systems for pervasive middleware
+ Specific components of middleware such as : device discovery,
directory service, execution service, listening service, communication
service, and data access service

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS AND  PUBLICATION
----------------------------------------

Submit a full paper electronically as a PDF file not exceeding 6 pages (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced), including 
figures and references, using 10 point font size, and number each page. You can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at the following web page: 
http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm

Detailed submission instructions are posted on the workshop website at : http://www.sersc.org/IPC2007/IPM2007.php

Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s). The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press with 6 
pages for each paper. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers will 
be removed from the digital library after the conference.
