2019 IEEE Global Conference on Internet of Things
(2019 IEEE GCIoT)
“Towards A More Connected World!”
December 4 – 7, 2019
Jumeirah Emirates Towers
Dubai, UAE



It’s our pleasure to invite you to submit your papers/posters/demo proposals for the 2019 IEEE Global Conference on the Internet of Things (2019 IEEE GCIoT) that will be held on 4-7 December 2019, Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Dubai, UAE. The conference is technically co-sponsored by IEEE R8, IEEE IoT Initiative, and IEEE UAE Section.

2019 IEEE GCIoT aims to provide a forum for researchers from both academic and industry fields to share their latest research contributions and exchange knowledge with the common goal of shaping the future of IoT and smart sustainable cities. Contributed papers are solicited describing original works in these fields and related technologies.

The conference program will include paper presentations, poster sessions and project demonstrations, along with prominent keynote speakers and industrial-focused workshops. There will be three tracks in the conference: technical track, governmental track, and industrial track. The industrial track will include a one-day focused Industry Summit.

2019 IEEE GCIOT is pleased to confirm the prestigious IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management (ABS 3/Q1) and IEEE Engineering Management Review as our supporting journals. Selected best papers from the technical track (typically, academic papers) will be invited to submit their papers to IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management. Selected best papers from Government and Industry tracks (typically, shorter and more practitioner-focused) will be invited to submit their papers to the IEEE Engineering Management Review.

At 2019 IEEE GCIOT, the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, Professor Tugrul (Portland University) will chair a “ Meet the Editor” workshop to provide publication advice to early career researchers and introduce new areas and Special Issues in the journal.



Delegates at 2019 IEEE CGIOT will have the opportunity to join a range of IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society (TEMS) Technical Activities Committees (TACs) focusing on Project Management, Design and Process Management, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, etc.

(AI, Blockchain, Managing and Recruiting Minorities in the Tech Industry and Sustainability/Creating https://www.ieee-tems.org/). We will also be launching several new Special Interest Groups (SIGs) in Shared Value. Membership and leadership opportunities in new SIGs will be open to delegates at 2019 IEEE GCIOT.



We encourage potential authors and delegates to consider becoming a member of IEEE and IEEE TEMS in order to gain many benefits including a discounted registration fees at GCIOT 2019 Join IEEE TEMS
