              OOPSLA'04 WORKSHOP  
    BUILDING SOFTWARE FOR PERVASIVE COMPUTING
    http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lopes/bspc04.html
           Date: October 25, 2004

Pervasive, or Ubiquitous, Computing envisions a world of communicating small
devices, sensors and actuators. OOP owes its popularity in part due to the
analogy between virtual and physical objects. Physical objects abound in
Pervasive Computing, and object technology is playing a major part in
pervasive computing, with objects living on even the smallest device. But
OOP issues such as contextual programming requirements, dealing with
multiple concerns, and the "mass" nature of ubiquitous devices are examples
of where object technology needs extension, adaptation or replacement.

This workshop will bring together practitioners involved in the development
of pervasive computing solutions and researchers devising new programming
models in this area. The goals are (1) to identify recurring architectures
and patterns typically used to build such systems, (2) to raise issues and
gaps in design and implementation; and
(3) to discuss new ideas and changes to object technology to better support
Pervasive Computing. 

Contributions of aspect oriented techniques to pervasive computing are
welcome. 

Prospective participants should submit a 2-5 page position paper in PDF
format to bspc04-organizers at ics.uci.edu, no later than 8/8/04. Notification
of acceptance will be on 9/3/04.
