March 14, 2004

  1. Call for Papers
  2. Workshop Scope
  3. Registration and Hotel
  4. Advance Program

Scope:

Research in pervasive computing and communications continues to gain momentum. However, research in the provision of security and privacy in these environments is still in its infancy. PerSec will provide an international  forum to encourage and present original research ideas and results that address all aspects of security and privacy for pervasive computing.

Registration and Hotel:

Registration is open now at the PerCom homepage.
Author registration deadline ------- 5:00 PM PST Jan. 12th 2004
Early Registration Deadline ------- Feb. 15th 2004
