Call for Papers

8th International Workshop on Pervasive Computing for Vehicular Systems (PerVehicle 2026) 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 have become more significant for our society. For example, connected vehicles will provide new network architectures and middleware to enable new pervasive applications like intelligent platooning, cooperative optimization of traffic flows, automated vehicles and intelligent vehicle-pedestrian safety systems. In addition, drones and UAVs will bring new concepts and ideas for smart mobility and society. Pervasive computing technologies including wireless networking, mobile and distributed computing, sensor systems, ambient intelligence, and smart devices, will play more important roles in designing, managing and realizing intelligent, smart vehicular systems. The main focus of this workshop is on such pervasive and mobile computing for/by vehicular 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 We solicit technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal.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
  • vehicular ad-hoc networks
  • Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
  • mobile and pervasive computing for/by vehicles
  • human-machine interface for vehicular systems
  • V2X communications (vehicles, roadside units, infrastructure, drones, pedestrians)
  • mobile edge computing
  • autonomous/automated vehicles
  • drone and UAV
  • middleware for vehicular systems
  • new applications for vehicular systems
  • security for vehicular systems

Paper Submission

Papers must be in PDF format. Paper submission details including the submission system and track selection will be announced here when available.


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 (no registration is available for workshops only). Workshop papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital libraries (Xplore).
