Abstract

Welcome to PETRA 2012 Conference, the 5th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments, June 6-8, 2012 in Crete, Greece.

The PETRA Conference has as its mission to bring together diverse disciplines and experts in different areas of computer technology in order to address human-centric challenges and improve the quality of life. Whether it is to improve the potential of a person in the work environment with better training tools, or help the elderly age in place with unobtrusive technologies, fundamentally new computer science and engineering approaches are needed.

People's living environments are particularly important in an increasingly crowded and complex world where the need for inclusiveness and connectivity with the rest of the world is key. From smart energy recommendation tools, to game-driven therapy for cognitive or motor disabilities such as cerebral palsy, PETRA will introduce the participant to exciting and transformational new applications of computer technology.
