Use when deciding whether a pervasive-computing project belongs at IEEE PerCom or should be routed to ACM UbiComp/IMWUT, MobiCom, MobiSys, SenSys, or IPSN, and when distinguishing PerCom's human-centric ubicomp focus from networked-sensor-systems venues by contribution shape, the human-centricity test, and the IEEE-conference vs. IMWUT-journal model.

# PerCom Topic Selection

Decide the venue before drafting. PerCom — the IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing
and Communications — is IEEE's flagship for **human-centric ubiquitous computing**: activity
recognition, context-awareness, wearable and mobile sensing, and smart environments. Its papers are
IEEE Xplore proceedings read for a **pervasive-computing contribution grounded in real human use**.
A technically strong paper whose real lesson is about network protocols, low-power hardware, or a
pure ML model is respected and then rejected as out of scope.

## The routing question that matters most

PerCom overlaps most with **ACM UbiComp/IMWUT** in *topic* — both cover HAR, wearables, and smart
spaces — so the decisive question is rarely "is this ubicomp?" but **"which model and calendar fits
this paper now?"** UbiComp presents papers published in the **IMWUT journal** on **rolling
