*** Call for Papers ***

The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on
Big Data Management for the Internet of Things (BIOT2015)

in Conjunction with IEEE COMPSAC 2015
(Taichung, Taiwan - July 1-5, 2015)
=================================================================

* Theme of BIOT2015 Workshop

A huge number of sensors, actuators and tags are getting networked
these days. This leads to the "Internet of Things", and provides smart
and intelligent services to human society. However, this now raises
the next question; how should we use the "Big Data" associated to,
or collected from, those things? They say that it potentially contains
the seeds of services, profiles of social-phenoma, even social knowledge
and intelligence. However, we have not yet found systematic solutions
for managing them effectively, and we sometimes fail to extract valuable
information from, or to provide advanced services with, the dataset.
Thus, in this workshop, in order to discuss and discover better solutions,
we welcome papers that explore service platforms (i.e., network systems,
architectures, data models and algorithms) that effectively integrate
"Internet of Things" and "Big Data".

The workshop topics include, but are not limited to:

- Internet-based monitoring and control systems
- Machine-to-machine communication systems
- Sensor data gathering
- Remote control
- Large-scale data storage for M2M
- Data modelling and algorithms
- Overlay networks
- Distributed data management
- Wireless networks and IoT (Wi-Fi, ZigBee, 3G/LTE)
- Delay-disruption tolerant networks
- Big Data applications
- IoT/M2M applications
- Communication protocols
- Privacy management and anonymization
- Social implementation
- Performance study

We respect the works inspired by practical studies with real world
interactions because this workshop wants to be aware of real social
needs or industrial requirements in the discussions. We also welcome
work-in-progress papers.

Camera-ready due: April 24th, 2015

* Submission

Papers must be submitted electronically via the BIOT 2015
Submission Page (http://myreview.cs.iastate.edu/BIOT2015/).
The format of submitted papers should follow the guidelines
for the IEEE conference proceedings. All papers will be
carefully reviewed by at least three reviewers. Papers
should be no more than 6 pages. Accepted papers will be
published in the workshop proceedings of COMPSAC 2015,
by the IEEE Computer Society Press. At least one of the authors
of each accepted paper must register as a participant of the
workshop and present the paper at the workshop, in order to
have the paper published in the proceedings.
