IEEE PerCom
IEEE PerCom is an annual scholarly conference focused on pervasive computing, mobile systems, and pervasive communications. The conference brings together researchers from venues such as ACM SIGCOMM, USENIX, ACM CHI, ACM MobiCom, and ACM MobiSys as well as practitioners from institutions like National Institute of Standards and Technology, Fraunhofer Society, Tsinghua University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Stanford University. Attendees often include contributors affiliated with organizations such as Cisco Systems, Intel Corporation, Google, Microsoft Research, and IBM Research.
PerCom addresses the intersection of ubiquitous computing, mobile computing, and wireless networking by showcasing technical papers, workshops, and demos that connect applied research from groups like University of California, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University, ETH Zurich, University of Cambridge, and University of Oxford. The program structure often parallels sessions typical of IEEE INFOCOM, ACM SenSys, ACM HotNets, ACM UbiComp, and IEEE SECON, and attracts delegates from research labs at Bell Labs, Microsoft Research Cambridge, and Amazon Lab126.
The conference emerged in the early 2000s amid a surge of work in pervasive and context-aware systems pioneered at places such as Xerox PARC, MIT Media Lab, and Bell Labs Research. Founding contributors included researchers with ties to projects at Carnegie Mellon University, University of Washington, Rice University, Cornell University, and University of California, San Diego. Over time PerCom has evolved in scope alongside developments from events like DARPA Grand Challenge and standards efforts led by 3GPP, IEEE 802.11, and IETF. Past program committees have featured faculty and engineers from Harvard University, Princeton University, Yale University, Columbia University, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
PerCom solicits original work on topics overlapping with research agendas at ACM TOIT, IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, IEEE Communications Magazine, and ACM Computing Surveys. Typical themes include mobile sensing and crowdsourcing studied by teams at University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, edge computing initiatives from Microsoft Azure Research, privacy and security work from University College London, machine learning for mobile systems from Google DeepMind affiliates, and human-centered ubiquitous interaction traced to MIT Media Lab groups. The technical scope mirrors problems explored in projects from OpenStack Foundation, EdgeX Foundry, Linux Foundation, and standards from IETF ROLL.
PerCom is organized under the aegis of the IEEE with program coordination by members from IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Communications Society, and regional chapters such as IEEE UK and Ireland Section and IEEE Computer Society Pakistan Chapter. Sponsorship and collaboration have involved industry partners including Intel Labs, Qualcomm Research, Nokia Bell Labs, Samsung Research, and public agencies like National Science Foundation and European Research Council. The steering committee traditionally includes representatives affiliated with universities such as Duke University, University of Texas at Austin, University of Michigan, Peking University, and Nanyang Technological University.
Past PerCom editions have featured keynote speakers and panels with luminaries connected to entities like Apple Inc., Facebook AI Research, Google Research, Alibaba Group, and Tencent. Special programs have included workshops that parallel themes from ACM CHI Workshop, tutorials modeled after SIGCOMM Tutorial Series, and doctoral consortia in the tradition of ACM POMACS and IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation doctoral forums. High-impact demo and poster tracks have showcased prototypes linked to labs such as SRI International, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Broadcom, and ARM Research.
Accepted papers at PerCom are published in proceedings aligned with IEEE Xplore collections and are often referenced alongside articles in IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks, and IEEE Internet of Things Journal. Proceedings include full papers, short papers, workshop reports, and demo descriptions; authors often hail from institutions like KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Seoul National University, University of Toronto, McGill University, and University of Melbourne. Artifact evaluation and data-sharing practices follow community norms exemplified by ACM Artifact Evaluation, Zenodo, and Figshare.
PerCom recognizes outstanding contributions through best paper, best student paper, and distinguished service awards, echoing prize traditions seen at conferences such as ACM SIGGRAPH, IEEE CVPR, NeurIPS, and ICML. Recipients frequently include early-career researchers affiliated with labs at EPFL, Imperial College London, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Southern California, and industry research groups like IBM Watson and Facebook Reality Labs. Institutional honors and keynote invitations have elevated work later cited in venues including Nature Communications, Science Advances, and policy discussions at World Economic Forum events.
