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.</p><div class="">Please consider submitting your max 6 page paper (but also shorter are considered by November 14, 2021.
