<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">WORKSHOP SCOPE</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">Pervasive Collaboration is a crosscutting concern in many of today’s pervasive</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">infrastructures and systems. It happens in many different forms and technical</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">layers of device- and network-mediated interaction, such as machine-to-machine</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">(M2M) communication, interaction among smart home devices, wearable computing,</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">inter-vehicle collaboration, as well as at the human layer in the form of</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">participatory sensing, crowdsourcing, or content sharing through social</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">networks.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">Addressing the challenges of these manifold ways of collaboration requires</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">interdisciplinary research considering pervasive computing, context awareness,</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">embedded systems, Internet of Things, and social networks, leading to a research</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">area called Pervasive Social Computing. Researchers broaden the view on</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">pervasive collaboration to include also remote actuation/control, mobile sensor</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">data management as well as new forms of interaction, e.g. with public displays,</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">wearable’s or among smart things.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">While not all pervasive social applications will cover all of these aspects, all</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">of them provide means to interact and collaborate with contacts either in real-</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">time or asynchronously while at the same time providing some link to the</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">physical world (such as location of participants, devices or geo-tags or other</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">relevant sensor information). Typical collaboration features include real-time</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">chat, mutual presence information and activity streams, crowd sourcing of</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">information, sharing sensor information, map-based tracking and interaction,</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">proximity alerts, or even augmented reality games. Thus collaboration and social</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">networking functionality on mobile devices is more and more tied together and</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">creates a new social interaction experience for the participants.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">The aim of the PerCol workshop is to bring together researchers from the areas</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">of pervasive computing and social computing to explore the possibilities and</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">challenges of future Pervasive Social Computing applications. While the primary</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">focus is on pervasive technologies for human-to-human interaction, we also</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">welcome contributions about M2M interaction and coordination, opening a</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">perspective of new technologies and applications for Pervasive Social Computing</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">among humans and smart devices/things.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">
