Pervasive and embedded computing and communication is a paradigm that aims at providing trustworthy computing solutions and communication services all the time and everywhere. This entails the need for an interdisciplinary field of R&D that utilizes and integrates pervasive, wireless, embedded, wearable and/or mobile technologies. Intelligent software systems and technologies involving some sort of digital signal processing are present in many applications. Embedded and ubiquitous computing and communication systems are now invading every aspect of our daily life and are expected to profoundly change our life in the near future. The availability of small, low-cost, and low-power sensors, radios, and microcontrollers has triggered a huge wave of research in networked embedded sensing systems. The currently emerging cyber-physical systems community emphasizes the integration of actuation and control, leading to the need for secure, private, and reliable computing and communication services. Papers describing original work are invited in any of the areas listed below. Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the proceedings of PECCS. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. There will be both oral and poster sessions. Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations, as well as technical tutorials, dedicated to technical/scientific topics, are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in lecturing a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat.
