The 6th International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Embedded Computing and Communication Systems 25 — 27 July, Portugal

Let me kindly inform you that the 6th International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Embedded Computing and Communication Systems (PECCS 2016 — has an open call for papers, whose deadline is scheduled for February 16, 2016. We hope you can participate in this conference by submitting a paper reflecting your current research.

PECCS 2016 will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, July 25 — 27, 2016.

The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and held in cooperation with the EUROMICRO, The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) and ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (ACM SIGAPP). INSTICC is Member of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC). The Logistics Partner will be the Science and Technology Events (SCITEVENTS).

The purpose of PECCS is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in both theoretical advances and applications of Pervasive and embedded computing and communication. PECCS is composed of two co-located conferences, each specialized in at least one of the aforementioned main knowledge areas.

We would like to highlight the presence of the following keynote speakers:
— Siegfried Benkner , University of Vienna , Austria
— Maria R. Ebling, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, United States

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support.
The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier Engineering Village Index) and Scopus.
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).

Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session. Please check the website for further information (http://www.peccs.org/BestPaperAward.aspx).

Workshops, Special sessions, Tutorials as well as Demonstrations dedicated to other technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea.

PECCS 2016 will be held in conjunction with ICETE 2016 (www.icete.org) and PhyCS 2016 (www.phycs.orin Lisbon, Portugal. Registration to PECCS will enable free attendance to any sessions of ICETE and PhyCS conferences as a non-speaker.
