Hi,

(Apologies for multiple cross-postings)

The third workshop on "Negative Results in Pervasive Computing" (PerFail) to be hosted together with the next PerCom (March 11-15, 2024 - Biarritz, France). Please see full call for papers below for details. All areas of pervasive computing, networking, and systems research are considered.

Due to many requests received we have extended the submission deadline:

--> SUBMIT your 6 page paper by December 1 at https://edas.info/N31009 https://edas.info/N31009

Stay tuned at: https://perfail-workshop.github.io/2024/ https://perfail-workshop.github.io/2024/

Best regards,

Nitinder Mohan, Ella Peltonen, Tanya Shreedhar, Peter Zdankin, Malte Josten

CALL FOR PAPERS

================================

“Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.”

-Eleanor Roosevelt

Not all research leads to fruitful results, trying new ways or methods may surpass the state of the art, but sometimes the hypothesis is not proven or the improvement is insignificant. But failure to succeed is not failure to progress and this workshop aims to create a platform for sharing insights, experiences, and lessons learned when conducting research in the area of pervasive computing.

The papers of this workshop should highlight lessons learned from the negative results. The main outcome of the workshop is to share experiences so that others avoid the pitfalls that the community generally overlooks in the final accepted publications. All areas of pervasive computing, networking, and systems research are considered. While we take a very broad view of “negative results,” submissions based on opinions and non-fundamental circumstances (e.g. coding errors and “bugs”) are not in the scope of the workshop as they do not indicate if the approach (or hypothesis) was bad.

The main topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Studies with unconvincing results that could not be verified (e.g. due to lack of datasets);

- Underperforming experiments due to oversights in system design, inadequate/misconfigured infrastructure, etc.;

- Research studies with setbacks resulting in lessons learnt and acquired hindsight (e.g. hypothesis with too limiting or too broad assumptions);

- Unconventional, abnormal, or controversial results that contradict expectations of the community;

- Unexpected problems affecting publications, e.g. ethical concerns, institutional policy breaches, etc.;

- “Non-publishable” or “hard-to-publish” side-outcomes of the study, e.g. mistrials of experiment methodology/design, preparations for proof-of-correctness of results, etc.

We also welcome submissions from experienced researchers that recount post-mortem of experiments or research directions they have failed in the past (e.g. in a story-based format). With this workshop, our aim is to normalize the negative outcomes and inherent failures while conducting research in pervasive computing, systems and networking, and provide a complementary view to all the success stories in these fields.

Authors are encouraged to read “Perspectives on Negative Research Results in Pervasive Computing” for context: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10148650/ https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10148650/

==================

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

==================

Regular papers should present interesting perspectives within the scope of the workshop: negative results, lessons learned, and other fruitful “failure” stories. Papers must be in PDF format and contain 6 pages maximum (including references), but also shorter submissions are welcome. Papers should contain names and affiliations of the authors (not blinded). All papers must be typeset in double-column IEEE format using 10pt fonts on US letter paper, with all fonts embedded. Submissions must be made via EDAS. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as related information, can be found at the IEEE Computer Society website (available here: ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html )

PerFail will be held in conjunction with IEEE Percom 2023. All accepted papers will be included in the Percom workshops proceedings and included and indexed in the IEEE digital library Xplore. At least one author will be required to have full registration in the Percom 2022 conference and present the paper during the workshop (either remotely or in location). There will be no workshop-only registration.
