*** CALL FOR PAPERS ****
IQ2S 2011
The Third International Workshop on Information Quality
and Quality of Service for Pervasive Computing
www.iq2s.org

in Conjunction with IEEE PERCOM 2011
Seattle, USA, March 21-25, 2011

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.

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 and classification
* QoI-aware wireless sensor networking
* Energy-efficient data fusion, sensor fault analysis, sensor data cleansing
* QoS for task mapping and scheduling
* Coordinated QoS for cross-layer, cross-application, and
cross-node integration (including QoI-QoS integration)
* Query optimization for event processing in pervasive environments
* Data and query models for QoI-aware event processing
* 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
* Quality of Experience (QoE) issues for pervasive applications
* Value of information and quality of action for sensor/actuator networks
* Prototype test-bed design, implementation, and field trials

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper Submission: October 15, 2010
Acceptance Notification: December 21, 2010
Camera-Ready Due: Late January, 2011

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTION

The submitted paper should be in the IEEE conference format and should be no more than 6 pages in length. The paper 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 2011 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 session.

Detailed paper uploading instruction will be updated soon.
