[agents] The 1st International Workshop on Negative Results in Pervasive Computing (PerFail) within PerCom2022

[Ella Peltonen]

First International Workshop on Negative Results in Pervasive Computing (PerFail) to be hosted together with PerCom 2022!

Not all research leads to fruitful results, trying new ways or methods may surpass the state of the art, but sometimes the hypothesis is not proven or the improvement is insignificant. But failure to succeed is not failure to progress and this workshop aims to create a platform for sharing insights, experiences, and lessons learned when conducting research in the area of pervasive computing.

While the direct outcome of negative results might not contribute much to the field, the wisdom of hindsight could be a contribution itself, such that other researchers could avoid falling into similar pitfalls. We consider negative results to be studies that are run correctly (in the light of the current state of the art) and in good practice, but fail in terms of proving of the hypothesis or come up with no significance. The “badness” of the work can also come out as a properly but unfittingly designed data collection, or (non-trivial) lapses of hindsight especially in measurement studies.

Please consider submitting your max 6 page paper (but also shorter are considered by November 14, 2021. Call for papers and more information: https://perfail-workshop.github.io/2022/ <https://perfail-workshop.github.io/2022/> 

Best regards,

Organisers Ella Peltonen, Nitinder Mohan, and Peter Zdankin
