> Data management in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is
> challenging, especially with mobile sensor nodes joining or
> leaving the network at will. Recently it has become
> increasingly popular to utilize sensor networks for
> providing various services, e.g., audio/video surveillance,
> real-time monitoring, etc. Such WSN functionality demands
> the Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees in terms of delay,
> jitter, loss, or throughput using intelligent resource
> reservation schemes, policy-based service provision, etc.
> Enabling QoS guarantees in large-scale WSNs, while utilizing
> the network resources in the most efficient way, is critical
> for the success and life-time of the service-oriented WSNs.
>
>
> Providing QoS in WSNs involves addressing various
> technological issues, e.g., inherent limitations of sensors,
> varying network loads, network congestion, multi-path
> routing, changing channel capacity as a function of
> environment, time, and interference from neighbors, mobility
> and cross-layer design, etc. In addition, the trade-off
> between predictable network behavior and network lifetime,
> as well as between policy-based route selection and load
> distribution need further investigation. Privacy of sensor
> information is also a concern since multiple sensors
> share/access a common media. QoS2N workshop aims at
> providing a platform for discussing the above issues, recent
> challenges and solutions, and directions for future research
> on enabling QoS in WSNs. Researchers, professionals and
> application developers from industry and academia are
> welcome to exchange ideas, discuss results, and share
> experience in a broad range of topics related to QoS and
> sensor
> networking. Both theoretical and practical experience
> papers are solicited. Work-in-progress and position papers
> are welcome.

> We solicit original unpublished work written in English
> that is not currently under review at another venue. The
> submitted long papers should be no more than 6 pages and the
> short and position papers should be no more than 3 pages.
> All papers follow IEEE two-column style format and are
> subject to peer review by at least two experts in the same
> field. Papers must be saved as PDF files and submitted via
> https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/QOSN2010/ . All
> accepted long papers as well as all short/position papers
> will be in the IEEE proceedings. At least one author of each
> accepted paper must attend the workshop for presentation.
