Papers submitted to PerSys must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference. All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All submissions must be in English. Submissions should be in PDF format and must not exceed 10 pages in the final camera-ready format. The final proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). Author instructions can be found at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/persys/2008/papers/

Failure to comply with the above formatting instructions for submitted papers will lead to the outright rejection of the paper without review. Failure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes a paper from the proceedings.

JOURNAL

Authors of selected papers from PerSys08 will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper for possible publication in the Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal. A fast-track review system will be used, thus enabling a fast turnaround.
