Welcometo the proceedingsofthe FourthInternationalConferenceonPervasive Computing. We are honored to serve as chairs in this conference series, founded in 2002, which has emerged as one of the most respected venues for publication of research in pervasive and ubiquitous computing. This year’s conference demonstrated the increasing breadth and depth of worldwide research on pervasive and ubiquitous computing, with a record n- ber of submissions (178) from a record number of countries (26). From among these high quality submissions, the Technical Program Committee accepted 24 papers. These papers were chosen solely on quality, using a double-blind review process. Therewasalsoastriking breadthof submissions.Thesubmissionscovered29 topics,rangingfromhealthcareapplicationstoembeddedsystemsprogramming, from sensor networking to ethnography, from novel user interface techniques to powerharvestinghardware.Thisyearthemostpopulartopicswereprogramming environments, location-aware computing, and cell-phone interaction techniques. Our ?rst thanks goes to all the 541 authors who submitted full papers to this conference. Presenting research work in a paper requires a great deal of e?ort. We hope that these authors were rewarded with insightful reviews and an enjoyable conference program. Any conference is only as strong as its reviewers and Program Committee. This is particularly true for this conference, which placed a very heavy load on its Program Committee. We were fortunate to have an outstanding and ha- workingProgramCommittee:eachProgramCommitteememberwasresponsible forpersonallyreadingandreviewingatleast15papers,andeachpaperdiscussed at the Program Committee meeting had been read by at least 3 Program C- mittee members.
