CALL FOR PAPERS
------------------------------
The First International
Workshop on Information Quality and Quality of Service for Pervasive Computing
(IQ2S 2009)
Website: http://iq2s2009.i2r.a-star.edu.sg
In Conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2009 (http://www.percom.org)
Quality of service (QoS) has been studied in various building blocks in
pervasive computing, e.g., different QoS mechanisms are presented for wireless
or wired networks, with QoS metrics being described in terms of delay,
bandwidth, and/or data loss etc. The emerging pervasive computing is
application-driven and mission-critical, therefore the information quality
(IQ), such as the accuracy of target tracking or event detection, is also
critical for the end users, service providers and the system designers. IQ and
QoS provisioning for pervasive computing is challenging and difficult due to
the resource-constrained, dynamic and distributed nature of the system, the
weakness under security attacking, and the lack of a holistic design approach
which takes into account the different types of resources and their
inter-dependencies.
The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present
results, share experience, and enhance collaborations among researchers,
professionals, and application developers in various aspects of IQ and QoS for
pervasive computing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
l
System architecture for IQ and QoS provisioning
l
IQ-oriented signal & information processing (e.g., source
coding and data compression)
l
QoS for target/event detection, localization, tracking and
classification
l
QoS for wireless ad hoc and sensor networks (including coverage
and connectivity)
l
QoS for task mapping and scheduling
l
Cross-layer design for coordinated QoS (including IQ-QoS
integration)
l
Adaptative IQ and QoS under dynamic environments
l
Trust, security and privacy issues in IQ and QoS
l
Development environments and programming languages for IQ and QoS
l
IQ and QoS for emerging pervasive computing applications, such as
three-dimensional wireless sensor networks (like underwater sensor network),
healthcare, and structural health monitoring
l
Prototype test-bed design, implementation, and field trials
Submission
Instructions
The submitted paper should be in the IEEE standard
conference format and should be no more than 6 pages in length. Only electronic
submissions in PDF format will be considered. Papers should be submitted via
the EasyChair for IQ2S 2009. Detailed submission guidance can be found in the
workshop website. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and selected based on
their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Accepted papers will
be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2009
workshops proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register
and attend the workshop to present the paper.
