In the dynamic, ad-hoc world envisaged for wireless sensor networks, the notion of the quality of information (QoI) produced by the network will be key to bringing together data capturing and information processing systems to support the on-demand information needs of a broad spectrum of applications such as remote real-time habitat monitoring, utility grid monitoring, environmental control, supply-chain management, health care, machinery control, intelligent highways, military intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR), border control, and hazardous material monitoring.
QoI, broadly speaking, represents a level of confidence that may be placed on information. It touches every part of the end-to-end flow of sensor-derived information, from the sensors themselves and the observation data they produce to the various fusion layers that process these data and eventually to the applications (and their users) that use them. The objective of the QoISN Workshop is to foster constructive discussions among researchers from academic, industrial and governmental institutions for formalizing the science of QoI for sensor networks. We seek novel contributions covering all aspects of QoI for sensor network, including:
- Formal QoI characterization and representation; - QoI performance metrics and estimation techniques; - Sensor fault analysis and sensor data cleansing and their impact on QoI;
- QoI-aware networking; - Security, privacy, and data provenance and their impact on QoI; - QoI driven data fusion; - QoI calculus, brokering, and trade-off analysis; - QoI-driven system design; - QoI impact at the application level (e.g., detection-based decision making - and surveillance analysis)
Paper preparation/submission details:
Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE single-space, two-column format using at least 10 point size type. The maximum page limit is 6 pages. Papers deemed outside the scope of the Workshop or longer than 6 pages will be administratively disqualified. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and published by IEEE. The paper must be correctly formatted to fit on U.S. "letter" size page (8.5" by 11") with at least 1" margins on all 4 sides. Please use only standard fonts such as Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as related information, can be found at the IEEE Computer Society website.
Paper submission is managed through EDAS ( http://www.edas.info/showConferenceDetails.php?c=6460&). All papers must be submitted in PDF format.
Please submit your paper to EDAS. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the workshop to present the work. Following the convention of past MASS conferences, there will be NO workshop-only or workshop-specific registration. A full conference registration is needed and will include the ability to attend any workshop and regular conference session.
