Advances in Pervasive Computing 2006

Pervasive Computing has reached a level of maturity in 2006 where it has spun off specialised disciplines such as pervasive and miniaturised devices, pervasive communications, pervasive management, pervasive interfaces, autonomicity, context and many others, all creating their own communities and conference events.
The PERVASIVE conference series, with its first three events in Zurich, Vienna and Munich, now changes its role from a start-up catalyst, towards a hub functionality, where these diversifying communities from all over the world come together and calibrate their requirements.
The 4th International Conference on Pervasive Computing, held in Dublin, Ireland, in May 2006, brings together research and industry, in a booming environment of the host country. The participants came to discuss the advances in the enabling technologies, to present innovative applications and services, and to reflect on the potential ans risks of pervasive computing.
In this book we compiled the contributions from the late breaking results track, the practical research demonstrations, the track on video papers, and a doctoral colloquium.
