|        Pervasive Computing, Signal Processing and Applications (PCSPA 2010) will provide the participants with opportunities to discuss and explore areas related to the theory of pervasive computing, signal processing and its applications. Pervasive computing envisages one world of communicating miniature devices, sensors and actuators to provide ambient services. Together with signal processing, it forms the theoretical foundation for a wide range of applications that are supporting and gradually changing our everyday life. The goal of PCSPA 2010 is to further explore both theoretical and practical issues in pervasive computing, signal processing and its applications. It also provides one platform for both researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and establish collaboration.
