Aims and Scopes  
---------------
Pervasive computing has emerged as a new computing and 
communication environment with the aim of providing services 
anytime and anywhere for everyone. To facilitate resource sharing 
and support group communications, pervasive computing devices 
should be able to support ad hoc communications and networking. 
With ad hoc communications, seamless and transparent access to 
services and applications can be achieved while providing 
mechanisms for establishing spontaneous and interactive networking
among communicating entities. Despite considerable progress in 
mobile computing and wireless communication technologies, new user
demands and emerging applications introduce challenges in several
areas including security, privacy, processing, auto configuration,
scalability, software infrastructure, communication models and 
networking infrastructure. To support flexibility and unlimited 
mobility, services and applications should adapt to heterogeneous 
networking environment supporting multihop communication in hybrid
wired/wireless environment. 

This symposium will bring together researchers and practitioners 
from industry and academia to present their current research 
results and discuss future trends in pervasive computing and ad 
hoc communications.
