***************************************


The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel design paradigm, envisioned as a network of billions or trillions of machines communicating with one another and rapidly gaining global attention from academia, industry, and government. IoT is recognized as one of the most important areas of the future Internet; enabling ubiquitous computing among global networked machines and physical objects. Equipped with auto identification devices such a RFID tags in addition to sensors, actuators and machine-to-machine (M2M) devices, IoT has applications in a wide variety of areas such as smart grid, e-health, intelligent transportation, and logistics.

IEEE WCNC 2014 International Workshop on the Internet of Things
Communications and Technologies follows the steps of the successful IEEE WiMob 2013 IoT workshop. It aims to provide a forum that brings together researchers from academia, practitioners from industry, standardization bodies, and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research and future directions for the IoT. The technical discussion will be focused on the communications aspects and key enabling technologies for IoT, especially M2M communications and networking, RFID technology and Near Field Communications (NFC). The technical topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to:

- IoT network infrastructure
- IoT applications and services
- IoT networking and communication
- Channel and traffic models
- Spectrum management for IoT radio communications
- RFID, sensors, actuator technologies
- Security and privacy issues for devices and services
- Cloud computing interworking
- Semantic technologies
- Smart grids and smart space
