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)
Galveston, Texas, March 9-13, 2009

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.
