Preface
Welcome to the proceedings of PERVASIVE 2004, the 2nd International Conference on Pervasive Computing and the premier forum for the presentation and appraisal of the most recent and most advanced research results in all foundational and applied areas of pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Considering the half-life period of technologies and knowledge this community is facing, PERVASIVE is one of the most vibrant, dynamic, and evolutionary among the computer-science-related symposia and conferences. The research challenges, efforts, and contributions in pervasive computing have experienced a breathtaking acceleration over the past couple of years, mostly due to technological progress, growth, and a shift of paradigms in computer science in general.
