ALPACA 2023 - 2nd Workshop on Adaptive, Learning PervAsive Computing
Applications

During the past decade, many different research communities have explored
the aspects of (self-)adaptation in pervasive computing (PerCom) systems or
related system domains, such as Organic/Autonomic Computing, SASO systems
(self-adaptive systems and self-organizing systems), or Self-aware
Computing Systems. Those systems often integrate nature- or biologically
inspired approaches to adjust the systems resources to changes in the
dynamic environment and to establish robustness against disturbances. The
Workshop on Adaptive,
Learning PervAsive Applications (ALPACA) provides a forum to foster
interaction and collaboration between the research communities of adaptive,
learning and pervasive computing systems, raising the awareness about
related research efforts and synergies that can be exploited to advance the
state of the art.

ARDUOUS 2023 - 7th International Workshop on Annotation of useR Data for
UbiquitOUs Systems

Labelling user data is a central part of the design and evaluation of
pervasive systems that aim to support the user through situation-aware
reasoning. It is essential both in designing and training the system to
recognise and reason about the situation, either through the definition of
a suitable situation model in knowledge-driven applications, or though the
preparation of training data for learning tasks in data-driven models.
Hence, the quality of annotations can have a significant impact on the
performance of the derived systems. Labelling is also vital for validating
and quantifying the performance of applications. With pervasive systems
relying increasingly on large datasets for designing and testing models of
users’ activities, the process of data labelling is becoming a major
concern for the community. Even more, with the increase of pervasive
applications relying on annotated data, it becomes important to develop
standards and normalisation methodologies for transferability of annotated
data across different applications.
To address the problem, this year’s workshop focuses on experiences with
existing tools, datasets and annotation approaches in real-world use cases,
including negative outcomes and the reflection of possible resolutions of
the related problems.

BIRD 2023 - 2nd International Workshop on Behavior analysis and Recognition
for knowledge Discovery

BiRD workshop aims to provide a forum for presenting and discussing
research on the
recognition and understanding of behavior data collected from various
sources, such as
humans, animals, and automobiles, towards scientific discovery (e.g.,
ecology and
medical science) and/or actual business applications (e.g., industry,
sports,
healthcare, and stockbreeding). In addition, we plan to invite biologists
and
neuroscientists who have collected and analyzed behavior data of various
animals.
Therefore, this workshop provides a good opportunity for the PerCom
researchers to
apply the developed state-of-the-art methods to actual problems.

Cloud2Things 2023 - 3rd Workshop on From Cloud to Things: harnessing
pervasive data in the Computing Continuum

The Computing Continuum concept refers to the opportunity of taking
advantage of a broad computing context that mixes Cloud, Edge and IoT
resources, thus providing a "continuum" of computing services that promise
to fulfill the need of most demanding applications.
In order for applications to access such a pervasive computing environment
in a safe,  transparent and uniform fashion, smart solutions need to be
devised that support agile provisioning and management of the resources
offered by heterogeneous infrastructures (possibly owned by different
providers) along the Things-to-Cloud path. The heterogeneity of the
involved computing resources, the interplay of communication networks and
protocols, the diverse data management policies enforced by resource owners
are some of the issues that must be faced. This workshop encourages
submissions that address opportunities and issues of the computing
continuum landscape, and proposes experimental solutions, case studies,
deployed systems and best practices in this specific research context.

COMOREA 2023 - 19th Workshop on Context and Activity Modeling and
Recognition

CoMoRea aims at advancing the state-of-the-art in context modeling,
recognition, and reasoning and also discuss fundamental issues in context
processing and management. The goal is to identify concepts, theories, and
methods applicable to context modeling and context reasoning as well as
system-oriented issues related to the design and implementation of
context-aware systems. Particular attention will be paid to hybrid
approaches for context modeling and reasoning. For instance, combining
machine learning and knowledge-based methods for context  reasoning (e.g.,
activity recognition) is a recent and promising research direction that
still needs to be investigated. Among the huge amount of types of context,
human activities play a major role. Indeed, human activity recognition
(HAR) is a hot topic that the community has been tackling for more than a
decade. Open research problems in HAR are mainly related to real-world
deployments. While our workshop considers HAR as one of the most important
contexts, contributions that tackle other context-awareness research
problems are clearly welcome as well.

PDT 2023 - 1st Workshop on Pervasive Digital Twins

Digital Twins are inherently pervasive because they digitize a physical
process in the original sense of Weiser’s vision for ubiquitous computing.
Digital Twins can help to standardize how data in a pervasive context
should be collect, stored, analysed, and presented. Definitions
abound but no commonly accepted platform or format has yet arrived. Yet,
the use of Digital Twins to describe systems is on the rise. Can we find
common ground to understand Digital Twins in a pervasive context? Papers on
the topic of Digital Twins, broadly conceived are welcome!

the intersection of two domains: pervasive computing and artificial
intelligence, with particular attention to the limited amount of
computational resources available on the edge and IoT devices. Eligible
contributions can address the challenges related to (i)
distributed/decentralised learning; (ii) efficient methods for
training/inference on resource-constrained devices; training under no or
partial (both semi and weak) supervision. At PeRConAI, we welcome
foundational contributions (e.g., new efficient algorithms or lightweight
AI models) and solutions for specific application domains, e.g., anomaly
detection, video stream processing, and audio signal processing.

PERFAIL 2023 - 2nd International Workshop on Negative Results in Pervasive
Computing

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. PerFail 2023 aims to
create a platform for
sharing insights, experiences, and lessons learned when conducting research
in the area of
pervasive computing, systems and networking. Works that shed light on
unconvincing results,
underperforming experiments, unconventional/controversial results and
"hard-to-publish"
works are welcome, provided they share insights and lessons learnt from
these experiences.
We also invite submissions from experienced researchers that recounts
post-mortem of experiments/research directions they have failed in the past
(e.g. in a story-based format). With this workshop, our aim is to normalize
the negative outcomes and inherent failures while conducting research in
pervasive computing, systems and networking, and provide a complementary
view to all the success stories in these fields.

autonomous systems and networks (SASN). The use cases of autonomous systems
include autonomous systems for enabling Industry 4.0, robotic applications,
smart city use cases, autonomous distributed computing, autonomous
vehicles, reconfigurable computing, and many others. Making systems smart
and intelligent yields high benefits for all the stakeholders, such as
government entities, manufacturers, and the public. Such systems will
transform user accessibility, productivity, and
organization capabilities. It is of paramount importance to improve the
utilization of heterogeneous sensing, communication, computing, storage,
and control resources for determining fine-grained innovative autonomous
networking solutions. The workshop invites high-quality research papers in
the field of Pervasive Computing for Smart Autonomous Systems and Networks
(SASNs) using state-of-the-art technologies. This workshop would serve as a
forum for researchers from academia, government, and industries, to
exchange ideas, present new results, and provide future visions on these
topics

PRIVACOM 2023 - 1st Workshop on Privacy Preserving Computation in Pervasive
Computing

The First Workshop on Privacy Preserving Computation in Pervasive Computing
(PrivaCom 2023) aims to bring together researchers working on different
aspects of privacy-preserving data analysis. In most real world scenarios,
collected data can be analyzed to reveal sensitive information that users
would be unwilling to share if they were aware of the consequences.
Since securely and privately managing sensitive user data is of tremendous
importance, PrivaCom will foster the design of innovative
privacy-preserving applications and techniques that are able to operate
while preserving the confidentiality of sensitive information.

UMUM 2023 - 2nd Workshop on Ubiquitous and Multi-domain User Modeling

Recently, AI/ML has been applied to user modeling for real-world
applications, but there are still limitations in generalizing user models
for diverse contexts. Thus, this workshop aims to build ubiquitous and
multi-domain user models and increase their applicability in real-world
contexts. Here, we refer to "ubiquitous" as the capability to adapt to, and
therefore exist in diverse contexts, and "multi-domain" as the capability
of training jointly using data from multiple domains. Topics include (but
not limited to) cross-domain recommendation,
location/context/activity-aware services, and the other related
applications and AI/ML technologies.

WRISTSENSE 2023 - 9th Workshop on sensing systems and applications using
wrist worn smart devices

The main goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners to share innovative ideas, discuss challenges, and brainstorm
potential solutions to open research problems related to the domain of
wrist-worn smart devices. Using sensors, computation resources, and
communication interfaces available on smartwatches and smart bands, it is
possible to capture information about the device user, perform computation
to infer the user’s activities and their context, and communicate these to
a smartphone or the cloud. These wrist-worn smart devices represent a
perfect platform to conduct research on human activity and behavior. They
introduce opportunities for exploring new research problems, such as
efficient classification and computation on the wearable device, offloading
of computation from the user’s watch to the phone or the cloud, enhancement
of user experience, smart notification management, physical activity
sensing, behavior modeling, and data analysis.
