Pervasive Computing, 5th International Conference, PERVASIVE 2007, Toronto, Canada, May 13-16, 2007, Proceedings.

Abstract

On behalf of the Organizing Committee for Pervasive 2007, welcome to the proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Pervasive Computing. The year 2007 was a milestone for this young conference series, as it marked the first year that it was held outside of Europe. This “globalization” of the Pervasive conference is further evidence of its emergence as one of the most respected venues for publishing research on pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Each Pervasive conference represents a snapshot of our field, capturing the state of the art in technology, the research challenges we are addressing, as well as the people that form the Pervasive community. Each year’s proceedings represent an opportunity to learn about new areas and identify upcoming research opportunities, and 2007 was no exception.
