Service for Pervasive Computing (IQ2S 2010)
in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2010 (http://www.percom.org/) Mannheim,
Germany, March 29 - April 2, 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS
Pervasive computing enables computers to interact with the real world in
a ubiquitous and natural manner. It is, in its core, an
application-driven discipline encompassing the pervasive acquisition,
transportation, processing, and consumption of information from diverse
sources, including widespread sensor deployments. Thus, the traditional
study of QoS in transporting sensory data in pervasive systems ought to
be balanced with the study of QoI in delivering sensor-originated
information. Quality of Information (QoI) or Information Quality (IQ)
relates to informationÕs level of fitness for a purpose, e.g., when
contributing to an applicationÕs utility. Harnessing and optimizing the
QoI derived from sensor networks will be key to bringing together
effectively the aforementioned acquisition, transportation, processing,
and consumption elements that the broad spectrum of smart,
information-intensive, sensor-enabled pervasive applications depend on,
such as remote habitat monitoring, utility grid monitoring,
environmental control, supply-chain management, healthcare, intelligent
transportation systems, military intelligence, reconnaissance and
surveillance (ISR), border control, and hazardous material monitoring,
just to mention a few.
The effectiveness of an applicationÕs actions using a piece of
information serves as the ultimate measure of the informationÕs quality
and value-add; an action may be highly effective achieving all its
anticipated goals, partially effective, or entirely ineffective.
Complementing traditional provisioning of QoS with QoI and action
effectiveness for pervasive computing is challenging and difficult due
to the resource constrained, dynamic and distributed nature of the
sensory systems involved, their security weaknesses,
and so on. Novel mechanisms and designs are required which integrate QoI
with network and computational QoS that take into account the
aforementioned challenges while dealing with different types of sensory
resources and their inter-dependencies. It is an objective of this
workshop to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present results, share
experience, and enhance collaborations among researchers, professionals,
and application developers working on QoI and QoS in wireless sensor
networks for pervasive computing.
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 QoI and QoS in wireless sensor networks for pervasive
computing.
*******Topics*******
Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of QoI
and QoS provisioning in pervasive computing are solicited. Papers
describing experience on real prototype implementations are particularly
welcome. Topics of interest addressing the challenging joint aspects of
QoI and QoS include:
- Joint QoI- & QoS-driven system design and architectural
principles
- Network services (time sync, QoS) for target/event detection,
localization, tracking
- QoI-aware wireless sensor networking
- Energy-efficient data fusion, sensor fault analysis, sensor data
cleansing
- QoS for task mapping and scheduling
- Cross-layer, cross-application, and cross-node integration of
QoI and QoS
- Adaptive QoI and QoS under dynamic environments
- Trust, security, privacy, and data provenance issues in QoI and
QoS
- QoI characterization, representation, performance metrics, and
evaluation
- QoI and QoS for emerging pervasive computing applications
- Value of information and quality of action for sensor/actuator
networks
- Prototype test-bed design, implementation, and field trials
*******Submission Instructions*******
Submitted papers should be in the IEEE conference format and no more
than 6 pages in length, and should not be previously published or
currently under review elsewhere. 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 2010 workshops proceedings. At least one
author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to
present the paper. Selected papers with high qualities will be invited
to submit to a Journal special issue.
