## Call for papers

IEEE PerCom, now in its 25th year, will be held in Goa, India in March 2027 as an in-person physical event. PerCom is the premier annual scholarly venue in pervasive computing and communications. Pervasive computing is at the forefront of mobile systems research, and has found its way into many commercial applications due to tremendous advances in a broad spectrum of technologies and topics such as wireless networking, mobile and distributed computing, sensor systems, ambient intelligence, and smart devices. Scope PerCom 2027 solicits research contributions in all areas pertinent to pervasive computing and communications, especially those that cross traditional research boundaries. In particular, PerCom targets contributions in: Advances in pervasive systems and infrastructures: middleware systems and services; data engineering for pervasive computing; cloud, fog and edge computing; integrations of smartphones in pervasive experiences; applications of device-to-device coordination, Foundational theory and modeling for pervasive computing: context modeling & reasoning; programming paradigms, spatio-temporal modeling techniques, complex networks, adaptive computing, Technological innovations: architectures, protocols, and technologies for pervasive communications; energy-harvesting, self-powered, or battery-less systems; mobile and wearable systems; smart devices and environments; positioning, navigation, timing, and tracking technologies; and device-free human sensing, Domain-specific challenges and novel applications: activity and emotion recognition; urban/mobile crowdsensing & intelligence; pervasive healthcare and well-being; pervasive cyber-physical systems; smart homes and pervasive virtual assistants; sports analytics; pervasive nowcasting; service robotics; pervasive AR/VR; smart vehicles; disaster sensing and management, New techniques for user-level interaction: participatory and social sensing; fairness; user interface, interaction, and persuasion; online and offline social networking; human-machine collaboration, Enablers for actual Pervasive computing instrumentations: Pervasive security, privacy and trust; Ethical aspects of Pervasive Computing, Intersections of PerCom with: IoT and sensor systems; AI methods and models; opportunistic networks; pervasive data science; cyber-physical systems; 3D networks; green networking. Contributions can be analytical, empirical, technological, methodological, or a combination thereof. Papers reporting strong systems engineering contributions backed by solid and appropriate evaluations are strongly encouraged. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not be under consideration elsewhere for publication until decision notification. Contributions should be novel (those presenting only minor improvements over the state of the art will not be considered), should demonstrate a significant impact (i.e., they should address an outstanding problem) in the context of pervasive computing and communications applications, and should be rigorously validated. Note that the impact of the contributions should be demonstrated in the context of pervasive computing and communications applications.
