Report from the Second Pervasive Computing Education Workshop

T he second Pervasive Computing Education Workshop (PerEd 09; http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~wgg/ PerEd2009) was held in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp 09) in Orlando, Florida. It had been five years since the first PerEd workshop in 2004 (http://doi. ieeecomputersociety.org /10.1109/ PERCOMW.2004.10008) and six years since the formative Ubicomp Education Workshop at Ubicomp 03 (http:// doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/ PERCOMW.2004.1276936). So PerEd 09 was an important opportunity to get an update on the state of ubiquitous computing education. I was one of the workshop’s organizers, together with Scott Midkiff and Gregory Abowd. We hoped to see a lot of progress since the earlier workshops, and we did. Ubicomp education has, in a word, arrived.
