It is evident that IoT is entering multiple fields of everyday life. The proliferation of IoT devices as well as the numerous use cases reveal the very promising potentials of IoT in revolutionizing several aspects of common activities as well as business processes. The vision of interconnecting billions of devices in a holistic network, where machines communicate along with traditional human communications is now being realized, towards the formation of the Internet of Everything (as called by Cisco). The workshop focuses on Industrial Internet of Things systems and applications, which represent the highest value segment of the IoT market. The heavy research endeavors of last years have provided efficient solutions and enhanced technologies that enable the creation of such a network, overcoming several challenges stemming from the special attributes of device-to-device communications, embedded devices, and big data management.

The new challenge is to identify efficient ways of integrating IoT technologies in contemporary applications exploiting the potentials of real-time monitoring, interactive control, self-management, and data analytics towards “smart” behavior and enhanced performance.

The main scope of the “IoT Applications and Industry 5.0” (IoTI5) workshop is to identify and promote new techniques for the realization of promising IoT applications in various areas, including Industry 5.0 scenarios.

The workshop is also supported by the EU Horizon projects: TALON and NANCY.

Submission Guidelines

Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality original technical papers reporting original research of theoretical or applied nature for presentation at the workshop and publication in the IoTI5 2025 Proceedings. All papers will be reviewed and evaluated by independent experts and selected based on their originality, merit, and relevance to the workshop. Accepted papers will be published as part of the IEEE DCOSS 2025 conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore.

The authors of accepted papers will be required to prepare a presentation in PDF file format and provide it along with the camera-ready manuscript. All presentations will be made publicly available.

The manuscripts must be prepared in English, following the IEEE two-column Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings with a maximum length of eight (8) printed pages including text, figures, and references. Authors may add at most two (2) pages, but only for an appendix, i.e. these two pages contain supplementary material only. The additional two pages will incur overlength charges at $100/page.
