The Internet of Things has many facets and most of the time all application require tailored performance engineering schemes to work as expected and to provide an appropriate level of quality for different types of networks, applications and services. Especially if considering consumer, business or industrial applications, the differences regarding performance and reliability as part of that become obvious.
The innovations concerning communication technologies allows IoT to significantly increase the responsiveness and flexibility of any kind of components. But the research discussion on IoT lacks for integrated system architectures, protocols and algorithms, which are classified to work levels above IoT frameworks, as well as overlaying concepts and novel business models.
The provisioning of a certain level of performance according to the requirements of an entire context can hardly be accomplished in IoT networks, e. g. for Advanced Manufacturing, using traditional approaches because these do not account for the requirements introduced by the new dynamic networks, the number of nodes, and applications. Advanced Manufacturing is only one example for a new type of IoT network that has to face special requirements. Context-awareness is required in several types of networks and for different types of applications and services. All of these are different. E.g., the occurring network traffic in Wireless Mesh Sensor Networks cannot be compared to network traffic of molding machines or cars. Each of them have different constraints and demands that should be covered by a context-aware performance engineering.
This workshop, among other things, wants to bring together researchers to present and discuss novel approaches and solutions as well as recent results in this area of research.

Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard camera-ready format (double column, 10 pt font) and must be submitted via Easy Chair (see links below) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5×11 inch paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 6 pages. Up to two additional pages are permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts should not exceed 8 pages in total). Submitted papers should not be previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another conference or journal. Paper titles and/or author names cannot be changed and/or added to the papers once papers are submitted to ICCCN 2016 for review. The Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s) and affiliation(s) with postal and email address(es) and phone number(s). A paper must be registered on Easy Chair by the deadline indicated in the Call for Papers.
Submitted papers will be reviewed by the ICCCN ContextQoS 2016 TPC members and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation. An accepted paper must be presented at the conference venue by the author who registered/paid full author reg. fee. Each full registration covers up to two ICCCN 2016 conference papers authored by the registered/paid author. “Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings.” Papers of special merit will be selected for possible fast-track journal publication.
Accepted and registered workshop papers will be published in proceedings of the ICCCN 2016 that has already been accepted in the IEEE Conference Publication Program and EI indexed. More information about the workshops is going to be provided.
