The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), whereby networks across the edge-cloud continuum allow all things to communicate and share vital information, allowing us to have an instrumented universe where accurate data is readily available to inform optimal decision making. Indeed, the IoT has opened up for the development of novel types of services and applications in various application domains. It has changed how people go about their lives. The number of heterogeneous objects connected to the Internet is growing very fast. Ericsson estimates the number will be close to 38 billion objects by 2029. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple microcontroller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near future. The scale of the IoT is set to have major economic, social, and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth. The international conference on Internet of Things: Systems, Management, and Security (IoTSMS) aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT, including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications, and future trends. The IoTSMS aims to facilitate discussions among academics and IoT practitioners and make positive contributions to the field.

The submissions will be evaluated based on novelty, soundness, significance/relevance, open science principles, and presentation quality.



SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format (IEEE Templates). All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted electronically via the EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iotsms2024) conference system. A full paper must not exceed the stated length (including all figures, tables and references). Submitted papers must present original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines may be rejected without review. Also submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured will not be considered. Submitted papers that are deemed of good quality but that could not be accepted as regular papers will be accepted as short papers.
