CALL FOR PAPERS (PDF Format)

Quality of service (QoS) has been studied in various building blocks in pervasive computing, e.g., different QoS mechanisms are presented for wireless or wired networks, with QoS metrics being described in terms of delay, bandwidth, and/or data loss etc. The emerging pervasive computing is application-driven and mission-critical, therefore the information quality (IQ), such as the accuracy of target tracking or event detection, is also critical for the end users, service providers and the system designers. IQ and QoS provisioning for pervasive computing is challenging and difficult due to the resource-constrained, dynamic and distributed nature of the system, the weakness under security attacking, and the lack of a holistic design approach which takes into account the different types of resources and their inter-dependencies.

Topics

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original work related to IQ and QoS in pervasive computing, which must not be published or currently under review elsewhere. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • System architecture for IQ and QoS provisioning
  • IQ-oriented signal & information processing (e.g., source coding and data compression)
  • QoS for target/event detection, localization, tracking and classification
  • QoS for wireless ad hoc and sensor networks (including coverage and connectivity)  
  • QoS for task mapping and scheduling
  • Cross-layer design for coordinated QoS (including IQ-QoS integration)
  • Adaptive IQ and QoS under dynamic environments
  • Trust, security and privacy issues in IQ and QoS
  • Development environments and programming languages for IQ and QoS
  • IQ and QoS for emerging pervasive computing applications, such as three-dimensional wireless sensor networks (like underwater sensor networks), healthcare, and structural health monitoring
  • Prototype test-bed design, implementation, and field trials
