Pervasive services are emerging as the next paradigm for distributed and mobile computing, in which services built out of pervasive infrastructure and information, and are seamlessly available anywhere, anytime, and in any format. This exciting new paradigm is the result of recent research and technological advances in wireless & sensor networks, distributed systems, Grid computing, mobile & agent computing and autonomic computing & services.

The 2008 International Conference on Pervasive Services (ICPS'2008), to be held in Sorrento, Italy, provides a forum for researchers, engineers, application & service developers and users to present their latest advances in the field of pervasive services. Use cases and usage models for these pervasive services are of particular interest to the conference

     Original contributions are solicited in all pervasive computing & services research and applications. Contributions for industry and application sessions are also solicited. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Pervasive and autonomous computing and architectures.
• Mobile Computing.
• Wearable Computing.
