------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE ***** MARCH 19, 2017 (11:59pm EST) ** EXTENDED ** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS IoT-SoS 2017 Sixth IEEE Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services http://www.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2017 co-located with IEEE WoWMoM 2017 June 12, 2017 Macau, China ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Such a vision is also becoming known under the name of Machine-to-Machine (M2M), where the absence of human interaction in the system dynamics is further emphasized. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for the IoT/M2M - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications - Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT/M2M scenarios - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT/M2M - Service platforms for IoT/M2M applications - Business models and processes for IoT/M2M applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M devices - Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Testbeds for the IoT/M2M - Security, privacy and Trust in the IoT/M2M context - Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes and pilots - Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications; including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grid/Smart - Metering, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart House/Neighborhood/Cities - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Ethical issues in the IoT applications - Optimized and robust dynamic spectrum access on IoT - Integration IoT and Cloud and Fog computing - Emerging communication technologies for IoT, e.g. Low Power WAN and D2D - Protocols and architecture for Industrial IoT PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Papers must be submitted electronically to EDAS by March 19, 2017, 11:59pm EST. You can find detailed submission instructions at http://www.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2017/submission.shtml.
