Pervasive 2006 Program Committee Meeting:

The two day program committee meeting for Pervasive 2006, the 4th International conference on Pervasive Computing was attended by the Program Co-Chairs, Conference Chair, Program Committee and members of the Steering Committee from December 3rd-4th 2005 in Cambridge Massachusetts.

Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories one of the Conference sponsors kindly provided the meeting space and comprehensive support for the duration of the meeting in their Cambridge offices.

PERVASIVE is an international conference held annually which aims to present significant research contributions in the area of pervasive computing technologies, systems and applications. The last three conferences in this series were held in Munich (May 2005), Linz/Vienna (April 2004) and Zurich (August 2002). It provides a forum for researchers, developers, and users throughout the world to present advances in computing technology toward new modes of operation (ubiquitous, continuous, and self-organised) and toward new usage models (ambient, context-aware, and closely integrated into human activities and environments).
