Privacy, Security and Trust within the Context of Pervasive Computing is an edited volume based on a post workshop at the second international conference on Pervasive Computing. The workshop was held April18-23, 2004, in Vienna, Austria. The goal of the workshop was not to focus on specific, even novel mechanisms, but rather on the interfaces between mechanisms in different technical and social problem spaces. An investigation of the interfaces between the notions of context, privacy, security and trust will result in a deeper understanding to the "atomic" problems, leading to more complete understanding of the social and technical issues in pervasive computing. Privacy, Security and Trust within the Context of Pervasive Computing is designed for a professional audience composed of practitioners and researchers in industry. This volume is suitable for graduate-level students in computer science as well.
