Convergence brings a user-centric environment to provide computing and communication services. In order to realize IT advantages, it requires the integration of security and data management to be suitable for pervasive computing environments. However, there are still many problems and major challenges waiting for us to solve such as the security risks in convergence application, which could appear when devices interact with different kinds of applications. Therefore, we need to explore convergence security in pervasive environments. IWCS 2011 addresses the various theories and practical applications of convergence security in pervasive environments. It will present important results of significant value in order to improve application services and solve various problems within the scope of IWCS 2011. In addition, we expect it will trigger further related research and technology developments that will improve our lives in the future. Another area that must be considered in the convergence of different security services in pervasive environments is the Internet of Things (IoT). There are many definitions of the IoT, but all of them revolve around the same central concept: a world-wide network of interconnected objects. It is to be expected that the elements of a pervasive environment will greatly benefit from Internet connectivity, as pervasive devices will be able to interact with external entities by obtaining services or even by providing them. However, it is necessary to address how the different security mechanisms used in the local pervasive environment could interact with protocols and mechanisms (e.g. secure web services) that allow secure collaboration with remote entities. Considering that the security of the IoT is a topic that is currently being considered a priority by many different industrial, commercial and governmental actors, the secure convergence of this new paradigm with pervasive environments is a potential research field that will be taken into account in our workshop.
