Due to the safety concerns and travel restrictions caused by COVID-19, EAI IoTaaS 2020 will take place online in a live stream.

Non-authors and Co-Authors of already registered papers can register for access to the live stream completely free of charge.

Scope

IoTaaS is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation, a leading community-based organization devoted to the advancement of innovation in the field of ICT. The 6th International Conference on IoT as a Service (IoTaaS) aims to contribute to the discussion on the challenges posed by Internet of Things (IoT). The IoTaaS conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in IoT from academia and industry. IoTaaS attendees will present novel ideas, exchange points of view, and foster collaborations. In 2020, the city of Xi’an, a famous historical and cultural city of China, will host IoTaaS 2020. The conference will consist of technical symposia, tutorials, posters, demos, and workshops. All submissions to this conference will be subject to rigorous peer review before included in the technical sessions.

Call for Posters and Demos

Authors who wish to present their work as posters are required to submit a one-page PDF with a title and an abstract of their work (not the poster itself). Submissions may represent early work that is not yet ready for submission to a refereed conference or journal, or describe a technical (non-marketing) innovation. Authors who wish to present a technology prototype as technology demos are required to submit a one-page PDF with a title and a description of their work. Submissions should preferably represent technological innovations in the making. Authors of accepted posters or accepted demos are expected to present their posters or demos at the conference.
