The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of the 2013 IEEE PerCom Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility in Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2013) is to explore these elements on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals.

The workshop generated a lively interest within the international community, and in response to the call for papers we received numerous submissions. With the help of the members of the Technical Program Committee, we selected ten papers to be presented in the workshop technical program.

We would like to acknowledge the contribution of the publicity Chair Guglielmo Cola (University of Pisa, Italy). Special thanks are due to the members of the Technical Program Committee. Finally, we are very grateful to all authors for their contributions and we kindly welcome you to PerMoby 2013.
