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). Workshop Organisers Weishan Zhang, Department of Software Engineering, China University of Petroleum, China. Klaus Marius Hansen, Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Paolo Bellavista, DISI, Università di Bologna, Italy. Important dates August 20, 2012 Paper and demo submission deadline Sept. 15 20, 2012 Notification of acceptance Sept. 30, 2012 Camera ready submission Submission Submitted papers should not exceed 8 pages and should be prepared in the IEEE conference proceedings format. Please submit your paper using the link EPS 2012 Submission Web Site at EasyChair<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eps20120>. In order to be able to upload your paper (in PDF format) you have to create an account at www.easychair.org. 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. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
