Call for Papers

9th International Workshop on Pervasive Computing for Vehicular Systems (PerVehicle 2027) aims to provide researchers and practitioners a forum for presenting and discussing research challenges on pervasive and mobile computing technologies for intelligent vehicular systems. Vehicular systems and urban mobility networks have become increasingly significant and diverse in our society. The scope of intelligent vehicular systems now extends beyond traditional automobiles to include a broad spectrum of road users. For instance, connected vehicles and automated systems provide new network architectures and middleware to enable pervasive applications like intelligent platooning and cooperative traffic flow optimization. Concurrently, protecting Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) and integration of Active Mobility (e.g., bicycles, e-scooters, and micro-mobility) have emerged as critical challenges, demanding advanced cooperative vehicle-pedestrian safety systems and context-aware pervasive services. In addition, drones and UAVs continue to bring new concepts for multi-modal smart mobility. Pervasive computing technologies—including wireless networking, mobile and distributed computing, edge/fog intelligence, sensor systems, ambient intelligence, and smart personal devices—will play more important roles than ever in designing, managing, and realizing safe, efficient, and inclusive vehicular and mobility systems. The main focus of this workshop is on such pervasive and mobile computing for/by comprehensive vehicular and urban mobility systems. We solicit technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to issues on pervasive computing and vehicular systems. Contributions describing an overall working system and reporting real world deployment experiences are particularly of interest.

Topics of this workshop include, but are not limited to:

  • connected vehicles and VRUs
  • vehicular ad-hoc networks
  • Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
  • mobile and pervasive computing for/by vehicles and Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs)
  • human-machine interface for vehicular systems
  • V2X communications (vehicles, roadside units, infrastructure, drones, pedestrians)
  • mobile edge computing
  • new sensing and pervasive devices for VRUs
  • autonomous/automated vehicles
  • drones, robots and UAVs
  • middleware for vehicular systems
  • new applications for vehicular systems and VRUs
  • security for vehicular systems
  • VRU safety
  • active mobility (e.g., walking and cycling)
  • simulation tools for vehicles and VRUs

Paper Submission

Papers must be in PDF format and must be submitted through the official PerCom conference management system (HotCRP). The submission link for PerVehicle 2027 will be announced here soon (TBA).


Submitted papers should be 6 pages with the option to include 1 additional page for a maximum of 7 pages total, and formatted following the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as formatting instructions, can be found here: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html


All submissions will undergo a double-blind review process. As a result, authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions. Submitted papers must be original contributions that are unpublished and are not currently under consideration for publication by other venues. In particular, publishing pre-prints of your submitted papers in online archives (e.g., arXiv) prior to submission does NOT disqualify the paper from consideration. Moreover, we instruct reviewers NOT to go searching for pre-prints of submitted papers. However, papers that are judged not to have created a suitable double-blind version may be summarily rejected from further consideration.


The accepted papers must be presented in person by one of the authors, with no remote participation allowed. Each accepted workshop paper requires a full PerCom registration (there is no workshop-only registration, and no student rate). Workshop papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital libraries (Xplore).


Papers without a valid full registration or that are not presented in-person will be excluded from the proceedings.
