2009 Joint Conferences on Pervasive Computing (JCPC)

Pervasive computing envisages a world of communicating miniature devices, sensors and actuators to provide ambient and personalized services. Contemporary ubiquitous devices unleash the boundary of one-to-one human-computer interaction. It has become a de facto style of facilitating social events that participants use several distributed devices through multimodal interaction. How people access multimodal media in different context is an interesting yet challenging problem. Pervasive and Ubi-media Computing, as it is bravely defined, brings together technologies for location/context adaptation, inter-device interaction/reaction, and media/data communication.

This year, we integrate firstly two major international conferences, U-media and ICPCA, which focus on professional Ubiquitous Media Computing and Pervasive Computing issues. Moreover, three workshops, which focus on applications of ubiquitous and pervasive computing, are conjunction with.

The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE, with best papers recommended for publication in special issues of international journals. The detail information is presented on the website of JCPC2009.
