Overview

Extending Seamlessly to the Internet of Things (esIoT) is an international workshop focused on the integration aspects of the Internet of Things (IoT). The emerging machine-to-machine (M2M) systems should provide transparent access to information and services through a seamless integration into the Internet. On the one hand, the so-called Web of Things aims for direct Web connectivity by pushing its technology down to devices. On the other hand, cost and energy requirements of embedded devices demand efficient protocols and communication patterns, which affect the application layer. This workshop provides a forum to elaborate on ideas and approaches to adapt, extend, or bridge the existing IoT building blocks, such as ETSI M2M, ZigBee, IPv6/6LoWPAN, RFID, and legacy networked embedded systems. In addition, the impact of the IoT on industry, business, and society, including security and privacy requirements, will be discussed.

Publication and submission guidelines

Proceedings of the IMIS-2013/esIoT-2013 will be published by IEEE Conference Publishing Service (CPS). Instructions how to format the manuscripts are at: www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/

All submissions to esIoT should be written in English, including figures and references, using 10 font size, and numbering each page, 6 pages length is the limit.

Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process and all submissions must be done through:
