2007 Second International Conference On Pervasive Computing And Applications

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Grid and Pervasive Computing, GPC 2007, held in Paris, France in May 2007. It covers all aspects of grid and pervasive computing and focuses on topics such as cluster computing, grid computing, semantic Web and semantic grid, service-oriented computing, peer-to-peer computing, mobile computing, as well as grid and pervasive related applications.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Pervasive Computing, PERVASIVE 2007, held in Toronto, Canada in May 2007. The 21 revised full papers are organized in topical sections on reaching out, context and its application, security and privacy, understanding use, sensing, as well as finding and positioning.

nd Welcome to the proceedings of PERVASIVE 2004, the 2 International C- ference on Pervasive Computing and the premier forum for the presentation and appraisal of the most recent and most advanced research results in all - undational and applied areas of pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Consi- ring the half-life period of technologies and knowledge this community is facing, PERVASIVE is one of the most vibrant, dynamic, and evolutionary among the computer-science-related symposia and conferences. The research challenges, e?orts, and contributions in pervasive computing have experienced a breathtaking acceleration over the past couple of years, mostly due to technological progress, growth, and a shift of paradigms in c- puter science in general. As for technological advances, a vast manifold of tiny, embedded, and autonomous computing and communication systems have st- ted to create and populate a pervasive and ubiquitous computing landscape, characterized by paradigms like autonomy, context-awareness, spontaneous - teraction, seamless integration, self-organization, ad hoc networking, invisible services, smart artifacts, and everywhere interfaces. The maturing of wireless networking, miniaturized information-processing possibilities induced by novel microprocessor technologies, low-power storage systems, smart materials, and technologies for motors, controllers, sensors, and actuators envision a future computing scenario in which almost every object in our everyday environment will be equipped with embedded processors, wireless communication facilities, and embedded software to perceive, perform, and control a multitude of tasks and functions.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference Eco-friendly Computing and Communication Systems, ICECCS 2012, held in Kochi, Kerala, India, in August 2012. The 50 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 133 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on energy efficient software system and applications; wireless communication systems; green energy technologies; image and signal processing; bioinformatics and emerging technologies; secure and reliable systems; mathematical modeling and scientific computing; pervasive computing and applications.
