Call for Papers
IoTT 2013
The 1st International Workshop on Internet of Things Technologies
in conjunction with
The 19th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems (ICPADS 2013)
December 15-18, 2013
Seoul, Korea
PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to connect anything at anytime and anywhere with an Internet-like structure. The IoT stresses on the machine type communication or Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, by which all devices, like home appliances, cars, vending machines, industrial instruments, and data collecting sensors, are connected together to provide service without human intervention. IoT technologies are shaping our daily lives; many IoT applications are booming, including logistics management, intelligent transportation, home automation, personal healthcare, and so on.
There are many IoT-enabling technologies, such as RFID-capable, Bluetooth-capable, and Zigbee-capable devices from the device domain aspects, as well as the 3GPP Long Term Evolution/Long Term Evolution-advance (3GPP LTE/LTE-A) networks, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), and Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) from the network domain aspect. Many excellent studies related to IoT technologies have been made in recent years. However, some open issues are yet to be examined and discussed for realizing the IoT world.

The purpose of IoTT 2013 is to solicit original new ideas on general IoT issues as well as on the design, development and deployment issues of both device-domain and network-domain IoT technologies. The workshop aims to facilitate discussions and idea exchanges by both academics and practitioners.
