Order the Next Generation Pervasive Computing Research Agenda Book
Within the FET (Future Emerging Technologies) work programme discussion on new directions for ICTs in FP7 of the European Commission, the question after the next generation Pervasive Computing research challenges has gained momentum. Specifically, the FP7 FET proactive project PANORAMA (Pervasive Adaptation Network for the Organisation of the Research Agenda and the Management of Activities, FP7 ICT Call-2, FET proactive / Goal 8.3: Pervasive Adaptation) picked up on the challenge of identifying the new trails of Pervasive Computing research. To this end, a structured "Research Roadmap" solicitation process involving some 240 top researchers in the field has been conducted over the past three years. The result of this process is manifested in the Pervasive Adaptation Research Agenda Book (www.perada.eu/research-agenda). In the frame of a special session "Pervasive Socio-Technical Fabric" at FET 2011 (The European Future Technologies Conference and Exhibition, 4-6 May 2011 Budapest, Hungary), the Research Agenda Book was presented to a broad audience, and discussed and quality controlled by invited, renowned research pioneers. The Research Agenda Book, while being created in a participatory style by the scientific community itself (note the authorship acronym: Th. Sc. Community) via the Pervasive Adaptation Research Agenda Book Web Contribution Portal (seamlessly integrated in the community platform www.perada.eu/research-agenda), also an automated generation of a print version of the book is permanently available as a versioned PDF download.
By June 2011, the Research Agenda Book Contribution Portal has collected about a hundred research challenges articulated by leading experts in the field - on a personal invitation basis, and discussed by the community via the web portal. The book is structured into collections of contributions along the chapters: (i) Autonomous Adaptation, (ii) Adaptive Pervasive Ensembles, (iii) Emergence and Evolvability, (iv) Societies of Artefacts, (v) Dependable Pervasive Systems, (vi) Pervasive Trust, (vii) Human-Centric Adaptation, (viii) Socio-Technical Systems and (ix) Quality of Life.
The Research Agenda Book can be ordered free of charge.
