*CALL FOR PAPERS*
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 on various aspects of QoI, QoE and QoS for pervasive computing in network contexts including wireless, mobile and sensor networks.
Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of QoI, QoE 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, QoE 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
* Models of semantics and context in QoI-aware applications
* Market-based mechanisms to influence QoI
* Quality of Experience (QoE) issues for pervasive applications
* Value of information (VoI) and quality of action for sensor/actuator networks
* Prototype test-bed design, implementation, and field trials
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
The submitted paper should be in the IEEE conference format and should be no more than 6 pages in length. The formatting guidelines can be found at: http://www.computer.org/web/cs-cps/authors
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 2016 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. For example, selected papers from IQ2S 2014 are currently being fast tracked for publication in the PMC journal.
Please submit the paper through EDAS at https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=21121.
