Workshops Chairs Message

Welcome MessageIt is our great pleasure to present the PerCom 2024 workshops program.PerCom workshops augment the main conference by offering a forum for presenting research on hot and emerging topics from a broad field of pervasive computing and communication topics.They offer valuable room for early discussion of novel approaches with a high degree of interactivity and various presentation formats, including research paper presentations, panel discussions, and inspiring keynote speeches.Through these presentations and discussions with peer researchers, PerCom workshops help to shape future research and identify promising research directions.This year, the workshop program includes an impressive number of 15 workshops.This program demonstrates both continuities, by featuring wellestablished workshops, and evolution into new research directions with workshops joining PerCom for the first time.These 15 workshops cover a wide range of topics from the perspective of pervasive computing and communication, including blockchain, artificial intelligence, context and activity modeling, emotion awareness, human-centered computational sensing, telemedicine, IoT real-world deployments, and security, just to name a few.
