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
