Sorry if you received multiple copies of the CFP.


The 1st International Workshop on Engineering Pervasive Service Systems
(EPS 2012)

https://sites.google.com/site/eps2012workshop/

Oct. 24, 2012, Wuxi, China.

In conjunction with the 3rd International Conference on the Internet of
Things (IoT'12) (www.iot.2012.org) <http://www.iot2012.org/>


Workshop Theme:
The applications of Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Services (IoS),
Internet of People (IoP) are gaining increasing attention in the smart city
vision that covers smart transportation, e-health, smart building, social
networking, and so on. IoT/IoS/IoP applications involve a large number of
pervasive devices, which are usually limited by battery, memory, processing
power, and are characterized by the high heterogeneity of their hardware,
software, and networking capabilities. This raises a number of novel
challenges for enabling pervasive services on such resource-limited
devices, thus opening also relevant opportunities for original approaches
and technical solutions. IoT/IoS/IoP application challenges include, but
are not limited to:
* how to make services running in a more scalable way than traditional
pervasive systems which usually run in a small scale
* how to effectively protect the sensitive data and information against
possible attack or intrusion in the ocean of constant information sensing
and exchanging environments
* how to extend the capabilities of pervasive devices by utilizing the
backend supporting infrastructure like cloud storage and cloud computation
facilities
* how to effectively develop pervasive service systems which can run
efficiently on various kind of devices using some tools and development
environments
* how to manage large amount of data produced during the running of large
scale IoT/IoS/IoP applications
* how to efficiently process a large number of events generated by various
sources in order to get high-level information for example the system
running status
* how to make the pervasive services run in a self-managed manner, for
example in order to save battery/energy consumption, to make a system run
optimally following some QoS (quality of service) requirements

The resolution of these issues needs cross discipline research from
Internet of Things and services, autonomic computing, service oriented
computing, cloud computing, software engineering, pervasive and mobile
computing, artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and so on. The EPS
workshop will build a bridge between these related areas.

Call for papers

The topics of EPS 2012 workshop include but are not limited to:

* Software engineering research on the development of pervasive services,
e.g. model driven development of pervasive service systems, performance
evaluation and Quality of Service management for pervasive service systems,
Service Level Agreement management of pervasive service systems;
* Security solutions for pervasive service systems, especially the security
problems with mobile cloud service systems;
* Event processing for large scale pervasive service systems, how to
meaning fully retrieve useful events and contexts from large amount of data;
* Enhancing the capacities of pervasive devices and pervasive services,
using, for example, mobile cloud computing platforms, and new algorithms to
support the migration of tasks between computing nodes;
* New applications of pervasive services and IoT/IoS/IoP systems, like
e-health, smart traveling system, and smart cities;
* Context-awareness for pervasive service systems including context
modelling and reasoning for pervasive service systems, for example the
usage of lightweight artificial intelligence, efficient pattern
recoginition algorithms to recognize the current contexts, new context
modeling and reasoning approaches for achieving context-awareness;
* Environments and tools for the development of pervasive service systems?

We are accepting three kinds of papers, the first are original and
unpublished research papers on pervasive service systems, the second are
visionary papers accepted as ?work in progress? papers, the third are demo
papers and industrial papers that show strong application of pervasive
service systems.

All accepted papers be published will be published in the Internet of
Things 2012 Workshop Proceedings but will NOT be on IEEE Xplore. Selected
high quality papers will be recommended to a special issue of ELSEVIER
Knowledge-Based Systems (SCI indexed, Impact Factor: 1.574 5-Year Impact
Factor: 1.454).

Support and best paper selection

Students traveling grants have been settled and are open to three students.
Each student will be granted 600RMB (around 95$) for the support of their
travel. One best paper will also be selected based on review results. The
best paper will be granted 600RMB. We also welcome well-known researchers
to give a keynote talk at the workshop and some support will be considered
if necessary.
