Technical Committee on Wearable Information Systems
The TC on Wearable Information Systems is devoted to issues concerning the wearing of information based technology on the human body. The steady decrease in the size and increase in functionality of hardware components has made the wearing of computers and other electronics by humans, not only feasible, but likely. The committee is concerned with the characteristics of the technology that will be worn, the applications with wearable information systems, and the ergonomic impact of wearable systems. The TC recognizes that wearable information systems is inherently interdisciplinary and must be addressed in such a manner.
Task Force on Embedded System Codesign
The Task Force on Embedded System Codesign provides a forum for open discussion on Embedded System Codesign.
Portable Applications Standards Committee
PASC is the IEEE's Portable Application Standards Committee. It is chartered with defining standard application service interfaces - most notably those in the POSIX family. PASC was formerly known as the Technical Committee on Operating Systems.
Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications WiMob 2007
The tremendous advances in wireless communications and mobile computing, combined with the rapid evolution in smart appliances and devices, generates new challenges and problems requiring interactions between different network layers and applications in order to offer advanced mobile services. We invite researchers, practitioners and others interested in wireless communications, mobile networking and ubiquitous computing to participate in the third IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications (WiMob 2007) to be held in White Plains, New York, USA, on October 8-10, 2007.
The 2007 International Conference on Intelligent Pervasive Computing (IPC-07)
Pervasive computers, networks and information are paving a road towards a smart world in which computational intelligence is distributed throughout the physical environment to provide trustworthy and relevant services to people. This intelligent pervasive computing (IPC) will change the computing landscape because it will enable new breeds of applications and systems to be developed; the realm of computing possibilities will be significantly extended. By embedding digital intelligence in everyday objects, our workplaces, our homes and even ourselves, many tasks and processes could be simplified, made more efficient, safer and more enjoyable. Intelligent pervasive computing composes these many "intelligent objets" to create the environments that underpin the smart world.

The IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing focuses on the key technical issues related to (a) architectures, (b) support services,
(c) algorithm/protocol design and analysis, (d) mobile environments,
(e) mobile communication systems, (f) applications, (g) components, including devices, hardware, and software, (h) implementation issues, including interference, power, and software constraints of mobile devices, and (i) emerging technologies.
IEEE Pervasive Computing delivers the latest peer-reviewed developments in pervasive, mobile, and ubiquitous computing to developers, researchers, and educators who want to keep abreast of rapid technology change. With content that's accessible and useful today, the quarterly publication acts as a catalyst for realizing the vision of pervasive (or ubiquitous) computing, described by Mark Weiser nearly a decade ago.
The essence of this vision is the creation of environments saturated with computing and wireless communication, yet gracefully integrated with human users. Many key building blocks needed for this vision are now viable commercial technologies: wearable and handheld computers, high bandwidth wireless communication, location sensing mechanisms, and so on. The challenge is to combine these technologies into a seamless whole. This will require a multidisciplinary approach, involving hardware designers, wireless engineers, human-computer interaction specialists, software agent developers, and so on.
